surprise!!

So it started like this…

the lightest, faintest tiny pink line ever possible. I scrutinized it from all angles: up close, arms outstretched up in the air, by the light of our bedroom window, outside. and even then, I still wasn’t 100% sure. I was afraid it might be the evaporation line. Kyle wasn’t much help in this department. He very clearly told me he could see the blue line.
thanks.
me too, from across the room. :)
but he couldn’t speculate on a pink line.
I can’t blame him too much. He lives in that very rational world that says, no big deal, we’ll do this again in a few days and it will be obvious. and then he’ll go back to paying bills or working outside without another thought.
not me. totally obsessed and in need of a second opinion. I took this picture and sent it to Rebecca.
blessed confirmation. “something, is definitely there.”

We were on our way to Jamaica where the drinks were free and free flowing so I needed to be 100% sure. We tossed an extra test in the suitcase and I counted the minutes until I could test again.

and there, in beautiful Jamaica, a second line popped up more clearly. I jumped around and made him take a picture. pregnant.
we love pregnant. :)
Virgin drinks on the rocks, please.

As if Jamaica wasn’t fabulous enough, this made the whole trip so much better. A very special way to celebrate 10 years together. Seriously a trip we wont ever forget.

We had our first OB appt and even though I was only 6 weeks along, Dr. Green did a quick ultrasound to make sure everything looked okay. I laid there scrutinizing his face as he stared at the monitor which was facing away from me. I kept waiting for his expression to give me a hint that all was well. And there, all of a sudden, the corners of his mouth turned upwards and he gave me the proud announcement that all looked perfect. He turned the monitor around and I got to see this…

which understandably doesn’t look like much. :) But it is a yolk sac and a developing baby. with a beating heart.

a beating heart.
tears all over the place.

we are 8 weeks and some odd days right now. Perhaps still a little early to make the big announcement but I’ve done remarkably well since I’ve known for a solid month! AND I’m sick as a dog which everyone keeps telling me is a good sign that hormones are on the rise and all is well.

Due date is 12/15/11.
blessed.
