Justin and I actually tried to get pregnant this month. Meaning I actually paid attention to the days we should do it. I didn't really expect to get pregnant but we were hoping.
I had begun to notice a few things that may be early signs of pregnancy. But honestly it's difficult to tell because often those symptoms are the same as PMS. I kept thinking, "hmm maybe ...nah". It sucks to get your hopes up for nothing. So I tried not to.
The other night Justin came into bed late and I guess I was sprawled out, immitating a furnace and making "the noises". "The noises" are the noises I make when I'm sleeping and pregnant. It drives Justin nuts but it soothes me. Haha! They're kind of like snoring but instead of a snore I make this sigh sound. Don't know why I started that. I did it so much while pregnant with Jasper that he does it too. He's done it since birth. The nurses would all comment on the adorable little noises he makes while he sleeps. It still makes me smile every time I hear it.
A day before I was supposed to meet the Crimson Goddess I decided I wanted to take a test. This way we could either start being crazy happy or I could expect the dreaded crap that is a curse to women.
Off to the good ol' Dollar Tree we went to pick up a pregnancy test. Did you know that those tests are more accurate than many of the more expensive tests? Keep that in mind if you're like me and like to take many tests to watch the pink strip get darker as your HCG levels get higher. Love it!
So then we went home and I did the test. Of course, as soon as I put the drops of pee pee on the test I had to stare at it. Mind you, I'm still on the toilet with my pants around my ankles, the test packaging is torn all over on the floor and I'm just holding the test in front of my face making sure it is VERY level and staring. I'm sure it's not that big of a deal but the test instructions say 5 drops of pee and make sure the test stays level. I'm always paranoid that somehow it will ruin everything if I do 4 or 6 drops. Or if the test tilts slightly I make a panicked face and right it immediately. Lol!
Okay, back on topic. So I'm sitting there looking at the test and all the color is moving up the strip and into the control line. I'm instantly bummed. There's no sign that the other line is going to show up. I put the test down, finish up and wash my hands. Then I pick the test back up not expecting much. I'm still seeing the color move through the strip and into the control line. But as the color is traveling it seems to be leaving behind another line! What?!?!
I keep watching the test as BOTH lines get darker and darker. I tested a day before my period and I got a no-questions-about-it double pink line.
WE'RE PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jasper is going to be a big brother!
Justin is just as excited as I am. We can't believe we're going to be parents of two kids. The new arrival should be here June of 2012.BABY!!!
*Note: As ladies who've taken these tests before know, it was brighter and more pink the day I took it. As the test dries up the colors darken.
