Yesterday I passed two tests with flying colors! Scott and I are going to have a baby! Yes, I know we were saying that we wanted to wait a few years, but God has a differnt plan for us and we're happy to follow His desires for us.
I was so nervous to tell Scott (he was already at work when I took the test.) When he got home from work yesterday I surprised him with a little gift. It was a burp cloth with yellow submarines on it that said "I LOVE DADDY." He unfolded it with the embroidered side facing down, I had to tell him to flip it over, he looked at me and said "Face, are you pregant?" (Yes, we call each other Face...I don't remember how it started.) I just said, "Open your card!" The card said "Let the cravings begin..." and had pictures of ice cream and pickles on the front, the inside then said "We're Expecting!" He said, "Really? Are you kidding?" I started to cry a little and said, "Nope. We're pregnant!" We hugged and got excited.
I'm actually really surprised at his reaction, I thought he would have been a little more scared/nervous than he was. He's so awesome, he's going to be such a great dad! We went to Carter's and bought bibs for the grandmas and brought them over to them. Needless to say, both sides of our family are very excited for us! It's the first grandbaby for both of our parents! (Scott's brother Riley even put "Riley's gonna uncle it up!" as his status on myspace.)
From what I've read and figured out, I'm six weeks pregnant and the baby should be due around mid-November! Crazy, huh?

Ok, so you wanted advice on birth methods so I thought I'd just be the best person to give you advice. What you do is go into the delivery room, look around for the panting birthmom....well, she's the one in pain...(I wasn't and you're asking about me right?) so then, you offer morale support, hold hands, cheer her on...(I was good at that!) then you can yell some loud "PUSH", "PUSH" and then it happens......OMG..... then, you watch the doctors and nurses do their thing and you cry some, hug everybody, give your baby their first bath....go to your hotel room, sit in the hot tub....uh, get 1 hour rest, go to store to buy baby clothes (we didn't have much notice, didn't have diapers even!) um, go to hospital, feed baby, burp baby, put baby in car....drive back to SCal..........then...FREAK OUT - OMG, WE HAVE A BABY! See how easy that was for me? K - I have to tell you the story of my first diaper change on the road and the squats I did which totally amazed everyone after they thought I had given birth 24 hours before! LOL CONGRATS GIRLFRIEND! YOU AND SCOTT WILL BE AN AWESOME MOMMIE AND DADDY!
