Guess What?

I peed on a stick

And what do you know!
In three or four months
I'll be starting to show!

Shocking isn't it!

We were shocked to find out that we were pregnant. Kelly and I had been talking about having another baby at the end of last year, but then decided that we should wait until the summer to try. The thought of having a winter baby is terrifying to me.

At the beginning of February, I got to thinking about when I'd had my last period... and I couldn't remember. On the 10th, I finally when and looked at the calendar to see if something I had written on there would trigger my memory. I realized that the last time I remembered being on my period was at the end of December. When my Mom was in the hospital and I stayed with her I remembered having to pack provisions. The feelings that came over me at that moment were overwhelming.

I told Kelly and he kept telling me over and over again that I'd probably start the next day, because with my schedule, you really never know. I knew the minute I'd realized it. There were definitely signs, and yet, I ignored them up until that point. I told Kelly that I thought I should go and take a pregnancy test. His responded by saying, "Well that's a waste of money. You're not pregnant."

I did it anyway. And sure enough it was positive! I was shaking and walked out into the living room to show Kelly... and guess what... he still didn't believe me. He was in such denial, that he got on the computer and researched the pregnancy test to try and prove me wrong. Well as you're aware now. He didn't succeed. After a minute or two of silence, he turned around to face me, sitting on the floor in our entryway still shaking in disbelief. He said congratulations and that he was excited. It was a very exciting night, and I am still in shock.

We had an ultrasound done on the 23rd of February to "count babies" because my HCG levels were higher than normal. And after having twins, the chances of having multiples again are greater. There was only one baby viable on the ultrasound, and my measurements show that this little bundle of joy will be joining our family in early October. My official due date is October 3.
