On July 16, 2011-the day before our anniversary after being almost a week late, I decided to take a test and lo and behold it was POSITIVE!!!! Because it was our anniversary, I decided to slip the test into my husband's card. He took it out and looked at it for no less than 30 seconds before finally looking at me and saying, really?
We were ecstatic but because of our loss from last March being so fresh in our minds, we did not want to tell the boys or anyone else for that matter until we were sure this one was sticking. Do you know how hard it is to deal with early pregnancy symptoms and not be able to tell anyone? It's not easy that's for sure.
On August 12, we were able to go to the doctor and see our bean. He/she was very active and had a great heartbeat.
We decided to take the boys out to eat and tell them. I have to admit, I was a little nervous. I know they love their baby cousin but both have been it known that they were not interested in having a baby in our house. Once we told them they were both happy and even started thinking of names for the baby-boy names of course, lol.
We saw the doctor last Thursday and were able to hear the heartbeat-150s and were very relieved to know that things are going well. I am now into my 14th week of pregnancy. We are excited to see whether this little one will be a boy or a girl.
Here is a pic of our little one at 8 weeks, 6 days.
