on sunday october 12, i took a pregnancy test since i was scheduled to start my period the next day & i just didn't want to wait 24 more hours, hoping we had made a baby this month! negative. sigh.
the next day, on schedule, i started my period. i thought.
by the end of the week, and a not-normal period, i wondered to myself if i could possibly be pregnant and just spotting (a "fake period" like i'd had with my brady pregnancy)...so i took another test this morning. and got a big fat "pregnant" pop up in the display!! my hands were shaking as i crawled back in bed and tried to act normal next to mike, who was still sleeping. a few sleepless minutes later, i got up and went downstairs for some coffee and to write out a special card i'd bought to give mike the next time i was pregnant.
as soon as he woke up i had brady hand him the card & we celebrated and laughed and wondered out loud again how i was pregnant when i thought i'd gotten my period!
later in the morning, we put brady in a t-shirt that says "brother bear" on the front of it and he paraded around in his sand box while aunt jane (and david, who were in town) stared and him and DIDN'T GET IT!! :) finally i told her, "jane, look at his shirt! read it!" and she said, "oh how cute." but nothing else. "no really...JANE READ HIS SHIRT. what does that mean?" and she finally yelled, "you're pregnant?! i thought you got your period?!" - yes, i do tell everyone everything. she was in town and of course we talked pregnancy, and i assured her i wasn't this month. joke's on me!
it was a very exciting morning and we are hopefully & cautiously looking forward to this sweet little life that's just begun inside me. so grateful.
