I should back up...

I am a terrible blogger! I want to get better at it and I think now is the perfect time.
We should back up to April 26th, 2010, that would approximately 24 weeks ago. Kris and I had decided we were ready to grow our little family. We spent the weekend wondering if we'd been successful. It's funny...when we first talked about trying to get pregnant I would constantly say "Let's just see what happens. We won't get obessessed." Then reality sets in and you actually start wondering...constantly. So over that weekend we decided to pick up a box of tests and I took one Saturday and Sunday and got negatives both times. Monday morning rolls around... I get up and decided I couldn't make it through the day unless I knew so I took a test. Imagine my surprise after several no's to see this little picture.....


Well of course I was stunned for about 3 seconds. Then I raced into the bedroom and pretty much scared the crud out of my peacefully sleeping husband....(now I know that at the time he knew I would take a test and was just waiting for me either wake him up or not). He shot up from the bed, I shoved it in his face and we both just smiled and were practically speechless. I still can't believe it. What a blessing we have been given. It was Monday, April 26th and it is the best Monday morning that has ever happened.

Now, here was the crappy part, we had to go to work. We both knew this amazing news and were so thrilled and we had to go to work. Of course we both kept it to ourselves for a little while...
