Wanna know a secret?

So, I have a secret that I'm ready to tell, I've been blogging a little bit and have decided to combine the blog posts into one so it won't be a scheduled blog. So.. here it is:
(Friday, May 27th, 2011) It's kinda crazy, but I know I'm pregnant. (.. and I just cut out much unnecessary info that you did NOT need to know. Continuing on...) And now I'm 3 days late on my VERY regular period.

(Saturday, May 28th, 2011) We went to Walmart this morning for George's eye exam, and I figured now would be the best time to grab a pregnancy test while he's not around. So, I grabbed one real quick and waited in line and... I forgot my wallet. Dang it. Well, I'll just ask George for his debit card real quick to get it over with. He asked why I couldn't just wait til he was done since I had some grocery shopping to do first anyway. But, I insisted that I needed to buy something separate and he finally gave in. So, I did my grocery shopping and as I got to the counter, I put the test up first and told the guy I wanted to buy it separately. He looked at the test and said, "is someone going to be happy?" I laughed and said, "Very much so! I just want to purchase it separately before he comes or sees it on the receipt." As I finished up, George came over and the guy noticed it was my husband by the way I said, "Oh, hi sweetie!" as I signaled the cashier as if to say, "don't screw this up." He asked for the pin number and I froze. Shoot! What's his dang pin number? "Honey, can you put your pin in real quick please?" So he did as I laid the rest of the groceries on the belt. Shoot! the bag! I turned back and saw George peeking in the bag! I looked at the cashier and he looked at me as though he was saying, "don't worry, I got your back." I took the bag real quick and saw he had wrapped it up 3 times. Lol. Awesome. My cashier's helping me out. Lol. I walked away a happy woman with a curious husband. I'm very excited to take the home pregnancy tests tomorrow morning, (apparently morning is the best time for your hcg levels to show a true reading) and especially can't wait to tell my oh, so eager husband, after we've been trying for 5 months to conceive. I better get to finding out how to tell him. Hmm.. what to do, what to do...




(Sunday, May 29th, 2011) NOW IT'S OFFICIAL.. WE'RE PREGNANT!
Just as I suspected, this morning I took 3 pregnancy tests. All of which came back POSITIVE! Yay! I unfortunately couldn't think of a clever way to tell my husband so soon, so I just grabbed 2 pieces of paper and wrote on one, "GUESS WHAT...", and showed him. He said, "What's on the next piece of paper?" So, on the second I wrote, "WE'RE PREGNANT!" He asked how I knew and I showed him the 3 tests. :)
According to a couple website due-date calculators, I should be due to have my very first baby around Jan 31st, 2012. Can't wait to make a doctor's appointment to find out for sure. I should be about 4 weeks right now. YAY!



Not even 7am
(Sunday, June 5th, 2011) My family is home from Washington and now I can tell them. I wanted to find a cool way to tell them, but when you don't even live in the same state, it makes it a tiny bit difficult. So, I decided that I wanted to tell them that I want to take a picture for Father's Day coming up (to distract them from wondering why I want them to all be there.) But in addition, I really want a picture to keep of their reaction to put in the baby album. So, they all came over and I took one normal one. Then  I pretended like it wasn't working and asked George to come help me. He came over and fiddled with some stuff and on the next one I said, " Okay, on the count of three everyone say.. Chelsea and George are pregnant!" Nothing. "What did you say? We couldn't hear you." George and I looked at each other and laughed then said it again. Needless to say, the pictures say it all. :)





(Wednesday, June 8th, 2011) So, as of yesterday, I am 6 weeks along. I am feeling very good. So I'll treasure the last days I have before morning sickness kicks in. I have an appointment for June 25th. So I'll keep ya'll updated.
