Round Two

On Sunday we found out we were pregnant!

Justin and I are so happy and can't wait to expand our family.  This time around I wanted to find out if I was pregnant in a different way than the first time.  Justin knew that I was late and that I planned to test over the weekend.  We had a booked weekend and the only free day was Sunday.  This time I told him that I wanted him to look at it.

Sunday morning I woke up and was really excited about what could happen.  I woke up before anyone else and jumped in the shower.  I had some time in the morning to myself so I made a huge cup of tea (in anticipation of testing) and relaxed on the couch to watch some TV.  After about half an hour Kara woke up and we got to snuggle and watch Bubble Guppies downstairs.  By this time the tea was kicking in and I needed to pee.  Justin woke up and came downstairs to see us girls.  He and Kara wrestled for a bit while I threw a load of laundry in the wash.  After wrestle mania was over I told Justin that I wanted to test but I wanted him to look at it.  He loved that idea and the three of us went upstairs into our bedroom.  I sat Kara on the bed while I used the bathroom.  Justin was reading the box to figure out the directions.  I told him that it's digital and you can just read it.  Ha!  I'm not gonna have a guy try and figure out what two little lines means.  I made it really simple for him.  Lol!

I left the stick on the bathroom counter and sat on the bed with Kara.  Justin went to check the test and it was still "thinking."  Then he went back in and all I heard was, "Woohoo!"  He came out with the biggest smile on his face and the test in hand.  He said, "we're pregnant!"  "Kara!  Your gonna have a little brother or sister!"  Kara looks up from the iPad and nods.  Ha ha!  She's probably thinking, "ok Dad.  Thanks, but can my new brother or sister come over and play after my show is over."

I was so happy and in a little disbelief.  I had a feeling that I was pregnant but I didn't have those early pregnancy signs that I had with Kara.  With Kara, two days before I found out I was pregnant my breasts were swollen and sore.  I kept waiting for that to happen this time.  Plus with Kara I didn't have any cramping or feeling bloated and that's how I've been feeling these past 5 days.  I guess every pregnancy is so different.

Back to the story- Justin came over to me and gave me a big hug and kiss.  We were so happy and thankful that it didn't take as long as with Kara.  We had been planning on trying back in February.  I visited my OB and began taking prenatal vitamins.  March I went off the pill and in May we used backup methods.  We started officially trying in June and in July we were pregnant!  I am due middle to late March of 2014.  I was keeping track of my cycles so I know the exact day I ovulated.  We know the due date but I want to have my first appointment and confirm it with my doctor.

Here we go....round two!
