Welcome to our blog! We are so excited to share our happy news with everyone, but we have to keep it secret for a few more weeks! But we wish we could tell you all now!!! So, I'm going to record the things I wish I could tell you all, and we hope that you will all have a chance to hear about our fun times later!
To begin, I took our first pregnancy test yesterday morning, and it was not very clear. I thought I saw a hint of a blue positive line, but from certain angles, it really looked like nothing. I showed it to E, but he was no help, of course (beyond his innate handsomeness). I showed it to T for confirmation, but he didn't have his glasses on, and said it was unclear.
I completely forgot about the test for the rest of the day, because I had a busy day that included grading final exams and going for our home inspection! I felt faint during the home inspection. I didn't think much of that fact because the air conditioning wasn't on in the house, and we were standing for a long time. I asked T to drive my car home because I wasn't feeling well.
After our home inspection, we stopped by the house. I picked up the first test again and really thought I could see a faint line. I showed it to T again, who had glasses on now. He asked me how I could see the results without taking off the blue cap (hahahaha - that cap covers the urine stick. YUCK)! I pointed out to him that the results are viewed in a window, and I pulled out the pregnancy test pamphlet to show T the pictures of different versions of results that come with the test. He agreed that it almost seemed like there could be a line, and that it was almost close to one of the "positive" pictures. However, he did not feel strongly, so I didn't either.
We were pretty hungry, so we went out to celebrate the inspection at Tin Lizzy's, a Mexican restaurant near our house. During our walk home, I just felt "off," but I wasn't sure if it was from all the jalapeños I just ate! I told T I was feeling off, and he suggested I take another test the next day. I thought that seemed reasonable, and that maybe I should even wait two days.
But, when I got home, I just couldn't take waiting. I felt different enough that I figured it couldn't hurt to take another test. I took the test, and you are supposed to wait 3 minutes to see the results. But, within about 10 seconds, a bright blue positive showed up! Crazytown! I ran out to show T, and he was very excited (and a little shell-shocked haha). But we are so excited, and we need to read so much more about what's to come.
As a side note, my friend F. texted me that night asking if I was pregnant. This was totally out of the blue! I had to write back "LOL you're paranoid." Sorry F - much love to you, and can't wait to tell you when we are out of the danger zone!
Love,
B&T
