Gary and I have been talking for a couple of months about starting our family. In January we decided that we weren't going to move to FL this year, so why not have a baby now? So January 28 I stopped taking birth control. Feb. 28 we had plans for a long weekend away in CT for Gary's birthday and I knew that I was going to be going out and having some Margaritas at Margaritaville. Being the resposible one (ha!) I decided to grab a home pregnancy test and make sure that I wasn't pregnant even though I was still a week early. Surprisingly the test came out positive. Talk about mixed emotions! I was so happy that it happened so quickly, and so surprised that it happened so quickly! We decided to keep going with all the plans and drove down to CT.
So being "Negative Nancy" that I am, after dinner with Mom & Dad J, we went back to the hotel and retested. Again it came out positive. This time I was starting to believe that I actually was pregnant and so we decided to tell both our parents. The next day, we called and setup an appointment to get a test done with the doctor but we couldn't get in until the following Monday. By that Thursday, my "Negative Nancy" feelings were kicking in and I decided I needed to be reaffirmed and tested myself again. Again, a positive result.
So a few days went by, just waiting to meet with the doctor at this point. And then today, we finally got there. The doctor confirmed that yes, I am pregnant and looking at a Nov. 14 due date. That's about all we found out. Now we're in search of a new doctor to carry us through the next 9 months.
We're both excited and looking forward to the year ahead, and all the years after that. I, of course, am hoping for a girl. Gary, of course, is hoping for a boy. We'll see who wins this debate. ;) Oh and we have names choosen for each already. Yup, we're that prepared. :)
