today is the day...

this morning, about 3:30, kyle got called out because the frick was down. i was lying there, trying to fall back to sleep, when i thought, "hey, i could take my pregnancy test now." then i went back and forth in my head, should i wait a few more days to see if i miss my period, or should i just go ahead and do it. i decided to go ahead and do it. so i pulled myself out of my warm, cozy bed, scooted to the bathroom and peed on a stick. the instructions said it would take 3 minutes before i would be able to tell if there was one line or two. i thought i would run to kitchen and get a drink of water and then come back and see if it worked. however, as i was setting it down on the counter, this is what i saw...

EEK!!!! we are having a BABY!!!!!!

so now i am in a state of excited confusion. should we tell everyone right away? or wait until we have had the first doctor's appointment? should we wait until Christmas when we can do it in a fun way or mail everyone pacifiers to announce it? holy cow! this is SO amazing! we are having a baby!!!

i have signed up on babycenter.com for their week by week pregnancy calendar. yesterday i received my week 4 update. they say that our little embryo is the size of a poppy seed...that is extremely tiny. and it kind of looks like two bubbles with some lines down the middle. isn't that precious? lol

i was planning on telling kyle about the baby this evening. i was going to buy a little onesie that said ' i love daddy' on it and give it to him tonight when he got home from work. however, as i was driving to work, i told him to expect a surprise tonight (stupid me!) and he guessed it. i'm kind of glad because i didn't want to keep it from him too long, but i wish i had been right there when he found out. we are both very very excited though!

now begins the search for a good ob/gyn. i have to find one on our insurance list, so hopefully i will be able to find a good one that i like. blech. not fun.

but hey, i am having a BABY!!!!!! YYYAAYYY!!

alright, gonna go do some searching. wish me luck!
