PREGNANT!!!!

Welcome to the first post on our new blog. We created this so that everyone could keep informed on the progress that both Brittany and our little bean make.

Brittany and I made the decision about 6 months ago that we would stop take any steps to prevent a pregnancy. We were not trying, I mean we were if you get what I'm saying (wink), but not really. We were not watching calendars or anything like that. We had really put it into God's hands as to when it would happen.

January 8th, was a Friday and Brittany and I had both had a pretty long week so we came home looking forward to just staying in that night and relaxing. I potentially took relaxing to a whole other level when I went to bed around 9:00, Brittany stayed up. Brittany had said she did not feel very good, but did not mention to me that she was over a week late. So around midnight she decided on a whim to take a pregnancy test.

Now let's be very clear about something, my wife loves a surprise and loves to plan and execute special moments for us. We still celebrate our very own valentines day, November 21st by the way. So I fully expected that when she knew she was pregnant we would have to make an event out of it. I expected to come home one day to a dinner made of a pureed steak, baby carrots and drinking sweet tea out of a baby bottle while being forced to wear a "Bun in the oven" t-shirt. Let me tell you how it really went down.

9:30-Will in bed sound asleep

10:30-Sleeping good

11:30- Dead to the world

12:00- Brittany comes in the room and says "Will, I need to turn the light on." For about 5 seconds I was kinda mad. I didn't say anything, but I was wondering what could possibly be so important that you had to wake me up. She then says " I took a pregnancy test" to which I responed in a very groggy voice "Ok"...."And". Then she just drops the bomb on me "It came back positive", like it was no big deal! Keep in mind I'm trying with everything I've got to determine if this is real or a dream still and the only thing I can get out of my mouth is "What do we do?". Brittany says "Well, I guess we make an appointment with a doctor", all I had to say to this was, "Take another test". Alas that was the last test we had at home.

12:30- Trip to WalMart for more test, the most expensive one they had, nothing is too good for my peace of mind.

1:00- Brittany in bathroom. The box says the test should take around 3 minutes. Our test takes all of about 30 seconds to come back positive.

1:15- I make Brittany take another test. How am I supposed to trust 2 pregnancy test??? We need this thing in triplicate. Again, takes about 30 seconds to tell us we it's positive.

4:30- I'm still sitting there trying to grasp what had just happened?
