just to be sure i asked to stop by the shops so we could pick up another test... a different brand of test... just in case the first two didn't know what they were talking about...
still positive.

Still Positive
We purchased a 2nd home test kit today, just to be extra sure. It was still positive.
So unless Jen’s body is doing something very odd, it seems pretty definite. We have a doctor’s appointment on the 4th to be double super extra sure.

Day Zero
Today was THE day.
Jen pee’d on 2 of the home pregnancy tests tonight when she got home from work and they both came up positive.
She of course didn’t bother to tell me what was going on, so I was casually watching TV when she came downstairs looking somewhat white.
After the initial shock wore off, I think we both settled into a nice mix of happiness and sheer panic.
We had been preparing for the last few months of 2006 to start trying to get pregnant at the start of 2007. So, we appear to be very good a sticking to plans so far! :)

oh baby...
6 months to 1 year. every book i read warned me that it would likely take 6 months to one year to concieve our first baby.
obviously, the books were not talking about craig and i.
assuming we had at least 6 months i didn't find it necessary to worry about keeping track of dates, cycles, or the like. since i wasn't keeping track of dates, it wasn't really obvious that i may be pregnant. since it wasn't really obvious that i may be pregnant (and the books said i had SIX MONTHS) i didn't expect the pregnancy test to show positive. and, since i didn't expect the pregnancy test to show positive i didn't figure i'd bother craig with what i assumed was just a mixture of curosity and my own special brand of paranoia.
i took the test, and went about my usual evening chores. i eventually wandered back to the test to see the negative result that would be waiting for me... but it wasn't negative. i checked, and re checked the instructions and the pictures just to be *sure* it was positive, and indeed, it was.
things are a bit of a blurr from this point on.
i wandered downstairs and told craig, although i can't remember what i said. (i'm sure it wasn't the poetic, romantic, just-the-right-thing that i'd planned in my daydreams.) he said something positive and encouraging, although i can't remember what he said. then, i sat and stared at the television for a while, without actually knowing what i was watching at all. a couple of hours later i used the 2nd test upstairs just to be sure. still positive.
oh goodness, i believe we're having a baby.
