Today we got the third test...Amy and I. It was funny, it was as if I was not sure the equate brand would, so I had to get the next thing... the $15.-- digital read out, red rider bb gun of pregnancy tests, and before I could even finish flushing the toilet it was flashing PREGNANT. I think if I had paid more money the only thing that could have been more conclusive would have been for an arm to reach out and slap me across the face and say... how many do you need, you are indeed pregnant you silly little girl! HA

So this morning after worrying to death about what everyone would say, I told Todd. I had read online about all the cute ways to tell someone they are going to be a dad. But I wimped out and waited for his weakest time, the early morning. I got to look into his half opened eyes and say, i took a test and it was positive. After he recovered he fell asleep for awhile more. I think more he was just trying to process. But then as he was leaving he did the cutest thing, he said "Bye baby", like he does on most days, and then popped back around the corner to say "bye babies!" so cute.

So i also got to start to tell people, since my business partner Amy can't stand the secret. By the time I had gotten to her this morning she had told her boyfriend, her roomate, her mama, and then made me tell Brian. So the first person other than Todd I told outloud was Brian. He was like great, i think... right?! HA i don't know if it is great, it just is. And I am sure it will be great, but for know it is just filling me with about 100 questions.

So in these early stages who do you tell? If you are reading this, i guess you!

Amy has decided to nickname the baby Triscut, and let the name game begin. She is so excited, to dress it, to name it, to plan for the shower, that no doubt will include drinking games.... She has really helped me adjust to the fact that I am indeed moving into a whole other realm, and yes, unfortunately back up the scale after just loosing weight. But at least I am not starting where I was last August.

Kate was awesome, she was happy and surprised and did a perfect thing in wrapping it all up with some older sister wisdom. She was really comforting to talk to, and I am excited to have her to chat with as this roller coaster takes off. ( besides, who else better to have already read every book and that can just give me the spark notes versions! thanks kate)

so now, we seek insurance, a dr. and to tell the rest of the Granparents.... (what do we call all of them?) Submit your requests~!
