Week 4

Yes we have two double lines and are pregnant! 

As many family and friends know Will and I have had many friends and families have babies at the end of last year.  I think we had 7 babies born in 4 months (August-November).  Needless to say my mind has been in full baby mode.  I have done plenty of reading and online looking about babies and pregnancies.  I had to say it, but I do love reading blogs when I am up late at night.

A dear friend of mine from grade school had a handsome baby boy last spring.  I loved reading her "Bumpdates" on her family blog.  My girlfriend Genevieve gave me her heartfelt congratulations and said I can use her "Bumpdate" questions (visit her loving family blog). Living in the opposite end of the state I thought capturing my pregnancy online our family and friends can follow along.  So...

Like any girl trying to get pregnant I am one of the girsl that say I won't test until my period is late, then end up take several tests before my period even starts.  I took a test on Friday and Saturday and thought that there could have been a very fait line, but decided it is just the lighting and plus I didn't have anyone to ask.  On Sunday I woke up early and decided to take a pregnancy test.  I read that your first pee of the day has the strongest reading, so this would be my one test of the day.  Low and behold I saw a strong line.  I was so excited but I wanted to tell will in a special way.

I wanted to buy him a beer I saw at a local market to give to him to celebrate.  At 6:30 in the morning I went online tjo research when our local market opens and what time of day you are allowed to buy alcohol in California.  So at 7:30 I got up telling Will I was going to buy cinnamon bread from the market (something that is out of the ordinary but at least I knew Will will be alssp when I left).  I bought the beer and tied the positive pregnancy test to it.

Big Daddy beer.  Poor Will, I woke him up early on a Sunday, although he was happy for the beer and said he always wanted to try the beer.  I turned the bottle so he could get a better view of the pregnancy test, and he asked me what it was.  I told him we were pregnant!  I was so excited to show him the test, so he turned on his beside light and tried his best to squint at the test, but said he couldn't see anything.  I looked at it again and the line was barely visible to anyone but me.  Luckily I have plenty of pregnancy tests I took anothr one to prove I wasn't seeing lines.

Here is the second proof we are going to have a baby!  Now Will is beyond excited and we spend all day just smiling and feeling a joy we've never felt before.
