Big News...

This is a post I typed up almost two months ago.  I've been saving it until we were ready to go public.  Here it is.

I'm pregnant! 

Last Wed (11/24/2010) I woke up a little before 6:30am and took a home pregnancy test.  I played with our new kitten Nermal for a few minutes then went back in to check the test and couldn't believe it actually read "Pregnant!"  Jason had moved in to the guest bedroom at some point during the night because Nermal was being noisy and keeping him awake so I went in to wake him up for the day.  The following is a brief transcription of me breaking the news to him.

Me (quietly):  It's time to wake up sweetie.  It's 6:30.
Him:  Hmmmgrrmmg
Me:  Want to cuddle for a few minutes before you get up?
Him:  Hmmmgrrmmg
Me: I love you.
Him: Hmmmgrrmmg
Me (cuddling up to his back):  I think I might be pregant. 

Note:  This is not something new for me to say, I said this repeatedly on our honeymoon, which is when we officially started trying.  Jason got used to it, just smiling and nodding to humor me.

Him:  Yeah?
Me:  Yeah, I just took a pregnancy test and it said I was pregant.
Him (rolling over quickly and looking at me with a big smile):  Really?
Me:  Yes.
Him (in cocky swagger voice):  That's how you do it!

There followed a brief period of hugging and laughing.

Then he got up and I went to go take the second pregnancy test just to make sure it wasn't a false positive.  Except I'd bought this cheap digital pregnancy test that has you replace the pee strip but reuse the digital readout/holder thing and the digital readout doesn't reset for an hour!!!  I ran out of the bathroom, where Jason had been waiting for confirmation of his impending fatherhood, and explained that I had to go find a store that was open and had pregancy tests before we both went to work (him at 7 and me at 7:30). 

It's was about 6:40 so I threw some clothes on and drove to the corner market.  No pregnancy tests there!  I drove to Albertson's, open at 6am, but they keep the pregancy tests in the pharmacy which opens at 9.  Drove to Fred Meyers, which doesn't open until 7am.  Drove to Target, doesn't open until 8.  Drove to Safeway and jackpot!!!  The store was open and had pregancy tests so I bought two different kinds and drove home to take them.  I made it home by 7 and Jason was still there, waiting.  Except that now I didn't have to pee.  So he went to work, I went to work and I took two pregnancy tests once I got to work.  Both said pregnant and I texted Jason the good news!!!

And that's how we found out I was pregnant.
