We have an announcement!

I wake up at 3am this morning and I just can't get back to sleep. I'm starving which is unusual for me in the middle of the night. I get up, get on the computer, lay back down. I still can't sleep. Well then our internet goes off as it has been every night. At first I was bummed wondering what I was going to do the rest of the night. Then I thought I would watch Pride and Prejudice for the 1000th time and do some cleaning. I did that and soon Ian was up for his morning meeting.

When Ian got back he suggested I get some sleep before he has to go back to work. I laid down again and still could not sleep. At exactly 7am I pop out of bed because it's clear I won't be sleeping. I get dressed and noticed my skin is not normal. Apparently I've become a teenager again. Breaking out like this at 31 years old is just not cool. So then it's decided. I'm up, I can't sleep, I'm breaking out and I hate to admit it but I've been acting strange the past week. I'm going to the store.

I grab my shoes and tell Ian I'm going to Albertsons. He gives me a strange look but doesn't question me. I wander around the store a bit. I needed some bread bags, vitamin C and hmm...yeah maybe a pregnancy test or three. I notice they are $20 and nearly put it back but I'm way to curious to let my frugality get in the way. I notice I'm way too excited to take this test. I force myself to walk slowly to the register. For a split second I think about taking the test in the public restroom but then I remind myself I have a perfectly comfortable bathroom at home.

So I get home rip the test open. Ian sees it in my hand and chuckles. I go into the bathroom and lock the door. He has been teasing me for a week telling me there is no way I could be pregnant already so I was in no mood to hear what he thinks about me taking a test. After about a minute I heard him try the door. He is obviously curious but I thought there was no way I could possibly be pregnant. Why the curiosity? I pretend I didn't hear him try the door and he says nothing so I continue with the test.

Why read instructions? You just pee on a stick right. Well apparently if you don't hold the stick down you will not get a reading, at all. I'm a bit deflated. I check it back about 15 times and it's completely blank. Ian suggests I try it again in a month. A month! Yeah that is not going to happen but perhaps a few days. Well I lasted 1 hour. Then I tried the cup method. I did the test and walked away. I really didn't feel my hopes would be dashed in anyway. I wasn't worried just soo curious.

When I checked back it looked negative but I did a double take because I thought I saw another faint line. With both Teagan and Jade I caught my pregnancies so early that they barely registered on the test. I held it to the sunlight and sure enough there was a light pink line. I went and got Ian and showed him and the look on his face was so cute a mixture of shock and happiness. He just could not believe that there was any possible way we could be pregnant already. The same speech he gave me with Teagan and Jade.

As he got off to work he starts calculating in his head. He announces that we could have ten children already if we weren't as careful as we are. Then he asks what I think the baby is. I have no idea. A faint pink line at the moment. So it's very early. We have never been the kind to wait to announce things. So here it is. We are excited. I should get some rest. :)
