Are you patting the baby?

On Sunday we were at Mom and Dad's house for dinner. Molly was eatting dinner and I walked up beside her. She put her hand on my tummy and rubbed it. I said "Awww are you patting the baby?" She said "No, rice on your shirt!"

Put down the pregnancy tests....now back away!

Last Saturday, March 20th, I took the my first home pregnancy test for the month of March. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the faintest line you could ever imagine! I didn't even tell Domingo that I thought I saw a line. We went out that night to celebrate his 25th birthday! We went to Kabuto and went bowling with Dan, Erika, Molly, Oliva, John, and Lisa. The next morning I woke up bright and early and took another test just to double check. It was still faint, but definitely positive. Domingo was already up so I asked him if he wanted another birthday present (he already got a Wii!) I put the test in a box and told him happy birthday! :) He looked at it, looked at me, looked at it again and said "We are????" And I told him "I think so!" Then he said "Are you messing with my emotions?" hahahaha! Silly guy! He proceeded to read the directions that came with the test to figure out why the line was lighter than the control line. We have been trying to get pregnant essentially for 16 months. I went off of birth control in November of 2007. We started really focusing on it in July of 2008. And in March of 2009, we finally got pregnant! It doesn't seem quite real yet. I couldn't wait to call my family and tell them the good news! They were all so excited...I think my sister was the most excited! I'm having a hard time keeping a secret. All my friends know, but I'm not telling people at work yet. I went to the doctor last Monday and the urine test was again, very faint. Dr. Brown drew blood and called me the following morning to inform me that I was definitely pregnant. My hcg was 60! Since last Saturday, I've taken 7, yes 7, pregnancy tests. 5 at home and 2 at the doctors office. Domingo said "Step away from the pregnancy tests!" I took one this morning and it was definitely darker than the previous tests. I think I finally believe it! Although...there is still one more test waiting in the drawer in the bathroom...
