I'm Pregnant???

It all started on a Saturday morning in January, I woke up and had to go to the bathroom...bad!  I NEVER wake up feeling like I have to go to the bathroom that bad.  I ignored it, it was too early to test and I certainly was not in the mood to get yet another negative pregnancy test.  All weekend my stomach had been churning, like someone was taking my intestines and twisting them, it was not fun but I did not associate it with being pregnant at all.  Even Shane asked if it could be a pregnancy symptom and I blew it off.  So Sunday morning rolls around and I wake up having to go to the bathroom again...2 days in a row.  This time I cave in and I go and get out my one and only pregnancy test I have in the house.  Low and behold a 2nd line appears and it appears pretty fast and pretty dark.  I get in the shower and by the time I'm done I'm convinced I had made up the 2nd line in my mind.  I get out and yet it's still there.  I'M PREGNANT!!!??!!!

I was about to jump on the bed and wake Shane up when I remember, I've had it planned out how I was going to tell him since before we even started trying.  I settle down and leave the room before he suspects I'm acting funny.

When Shane comes downstairs to eat breakfast I act like I'm preparing our primary lesson at the table.  He goes and gets out the cereal, goes and gets a spoon, by this time he realizes I'm watching his every move he makes and asks why I'm looking at him, I just shrug.  Finally....he goes and opens the cupboard to get out a bowl and this is what he sees in the cupboard:


His reaction?  'Are you serious?'  Of course I just shake my head because by now I'm crying and he comes over and gives me a big hug with a big smile on his face.  We really are pregnant.  After that day I took another pregnancy test, had a blood test to confirm it and then yet another home pregnancy test 2 weeks later just because I wasn't totally convinced I was really pregnant...I just didn't 'feel' pregnant.  But boy oh boy was I ever pregnant!

I still wonder when I'm going to have to drive her to the store for another prego test kit...

I love how you told Shane! I don't think I've heard that before. I got a little teary thinking of you getting teary. Still can't believe it's TWINS!
