yeah, bean is going to be a sister. are we excited? sure. are we still a little in shock? hell yeah!
see i'm a person with a highly irregular cycle. it varies in length from about 40-60 days, sometimes it is even longer. we went off birth control in january. we really didn't expect to get pregnant we were kinda half heartedly trying because in the back of our minds we were sure that the clomid would be necessary again. as a matter of fact when july rolled around we decided that when my next cycle started we'd call the doctor and see if she would put me back on the medication. well, first week of august i experienced two things that threw me: i was TIRED and the thought of the corn on the cob we were having for dinner made me want to throw up. could i be pregnant? certainly not! it is all in my head! the next week i realized my bra really didn't fit right any more. hmmmmm? no, certainly not. then starts the mild sinus issues and the waves of nausea that come and go. did i believe it yet?? well, hell no i didn't! it took my sister looking at me like i was a complete idiot and saying "what?? take a test! you are soooo pregnant!!!"
so i take the test. i glance at it while it sits on the counter- i only see one line. i think well crap it is all in my head! then i stood up and i saw i tiny faint hair line. immediately i march into the living room and demand my husband to "look at this." he of course says "what i'm i looking at?" (duh) i said "is that a second line?" he looks closely and says, "i think so." i keep staring at the test. "do you think it looks darker now?" i ask him. he looks again and says, "how long were you supposed to wait to read the results?" "three minutes" i say. "and it has been how long?" he asks. "umm, maybe a minute and a half," i say a bit sheepishly. he shakes his head at me.
so, we are still kinda surprised. i still find it hard to believe. even thought i have TONS of symptoms and actually SAW the baby on the ultrasound yesterday. you think that watching that little tiny heart beat would make it all real for me. HA!
life is strange and wonderful isn't it? :)
