It's Positive!

So almost two weeks ago now I took a pregnancy test. It was so exciting and freakin' scary looking at the two lines intercrossing when usually there is only just one lonely solitary line. I right away ran into the living room where nervous Nate was sitting and waiting for the news. I immediately burst into tears (which has been happening alot) and told him we were going to have a baby.

He was excited, but too nervous to be exuberant so I took another test two days later. Then a week ago I had to pee in the morning and save it in the fridge (ew) so the doctor could test it too. He said in a very calm matter that yes, indeed I was preggers.

So now Nate felt he could be really excited.

We told both sets of parents after the first test - My mom took a minute to understand that I was holding a positive pregnancy test in my hand and she was going to be a grandma. My dad gets a little more excited each time I see him...He wants me to be looking into mat leave.

Nate's folks live in Dryden Ontario and are sooo excited they should be here around the end of October for the big day. Nate's sister Noelene couldn't get much more words in besides "WOW". And Greg wasn't going to be able to sleep all night after he heard. He kept telling me to hurry up.

So it's really cool.

And my siblings - I did this fun video thing for them. Nina was screaming before it was even over. Then everybody seemed to be crying and excited.

I haven't been too sick yet, just some evenings I feel totally exhausted and I have found myself next to the toilet a couple times, but no upchuck (sorry!) yet. I'm trying not to gain too much weight, but to gain enough that I do have a healthy baby.
