There's only one person in this family who can count ...
That's right!! Apparently mom should not be waiting for NASA to call with that interview any time soon. I was dead on with my dates and we finally got that (+) pregnancy test (after hundreds of negatives) that we've been waiting for. That's not too bad really 8-9 months of trying ... several thousand pregnancy tests ... hundreds of inexplicable symptoms I created in my head ... ohh and let's not forget one unused pack of Clomid! Didn't I call that one? The second those fertility drugs made their way to my mailbox, boom I'm pregnant!
I really couldn't believe it when I saw the line. I had taken so many tests that I think I just expected it to be negative. I peed, put it on the counter and began to brush my teeth not paying any attention to it whatsoever and then out of the corner of my eye I thought for sure it was trying to make a line. I had to run and wake up JJ and ask for a second opinion .. there goes all those surprises and special ways I had planned to tell him. He said we're even since I got the lame proposal. Sure enough though he could see it too. So then he asks me to take another one just to be sure. At this time I have to explain the concept of after your first pee, first morning urine is gone and of course I flushed it not thinking I should really save any. So for the next three mornings I take another .. each of them darker than the other.
So I am officially PREGNANT!!! ***how crazy is this eh?***
Needless to say JJ and I are both very excited. We have taken turns and pretty much let the most important people know .. I expect everyone else to find out by word of mouth. JJ wanted to go shopping right away so last night we went out to Walmart and instead of getting the stroller he wanted I convinced him to buy the diaper genie and a snugli. I just am not ready to make large purchases yet, at the same I know how excited he is and don't really want to deter him in any way.
So according to pregnancy today I am on day 26, gestational age is 12 days ? Who knows .. due date of June 3, 2005 (which I believe is based on a 28 day cycle and mine are more 24 days). I will wait for an official ultrasound to tell me exactly how far along I am and when the due date is. As of now no real symptoms, although everybody insists I'm cranky, I truly don't know where this is coming from. I think they CRAZY FREAKING BASTARDS, THAT SHOULD JUST LEAVE ME ALONE AND DIE!! **Just kidding**kinda**
