A Really Good Excuse

I would like to apologize for my recent blog neglect. The problem is that well, I just haven't felt up to do much worth blogging about. And that is because I am PREGNANT!

How I found out is actually kind-of a funny story. Nick and I had been trying but were still early in the trying process. Who knew all that rhythm method stuff could be so complicated?! Hippies do it all the time, how could I find it so hard? After years on "the pill" I was still trying to figure out what my normal cycle may be so when fertility friend (thanks for the site recommendation V) told me I was late I wasn't very excited. Then I spoke with my best friend since middle school who couldn't believe I hadn't taken a test yet. I assured her it was just my crazy cycle and we moved on. Well ALL NIGHT all I could think of was what Gretchen had said. Finally a little after 5am I couldn't stand it. It took the test and it was IMMEDIATELY positive. I begin jumping up and down, run into the bedroom and wake Nick up with "we are having a baby". Of course his response is "are you sure" followed by "why did you take the test so early". Typical man.

So that was it. I did actually take another test and yep we are knocked up. Here I am on the phone with Gretchen documenting the positive test:


I am due June 9th and we are sooo very excited! I will keep you posted.
