We did it!

I am pleased to announce that M and I are expecting a bundle of joy round about December 21st 2007!!!

We found out on the 17th, but kept it hush hush until family was told. I really wasn't expecting to find out that I was pregnant this go around because I had been sick about the time that I should have ovulated. I just didn't *feel* pregnant. I took the test on that tuesday morning purely because M was off of work and we were going shopping that day. I was running low on tampons and thought that I would take the test just to prove that we needed to purchase tampons that day. I watched in disbelief as the plus sign appeared. I started crying tears of joy, and then wandered out of the bathroom holding the stick, and cryed out to M "We did it!" He looked puzzled because he hadn't seen the test stick in my hand. He got up from the couch and i shoved the test in his face, "We did it, Look!" He took the test from me and also stared disbelieving at it and stood with his back to the wall and slid down to the floor. He too started to cry tears of joy.

I had envisioned better ways to tell him, more romantic, or sweeter, but when the time came, I "exploded"! LOL!

We told his parents in a cute way though. We wrapped up some baby bibs that said "Made in England" on them. We put them in Christmas paper since baby will be born around the winter holidays and gave each of them one. M told them Merry Christmas, and at first the didn't get it. When his mother finally got it that she was being told that she was going to be a grandmother, it was like a brick fell out of the sky and hit her on the head. *BAM* and then she started crying at us! what a cry fest we have going on in this post! LOL!

I have my first Midwife appointment on May 1st. Plus, M has wholeheartedly agreed with me on a homebirth! YAY!
