Ahhhh!

Yesterday at about 9am I took a home pregnancy test thinking it would be negative... I was sooo wrong!

























I took that picture and inverted it the way so many ladies on TheBump have and viola! Positive pregnancy test! Faint positive... but positive none-the-less.

I'm still in shock, disbelief, whatever you want to call it. Lobster was close to walking out the door for work as I was taking the test. I didn't want to tell him without having anytime afterwards to be with him while it sank in. So I kept it a secret. Unfortunately, he worked open to close yesterday... I think that may be the longest I've ever kept this big of a secret from him!

It did give me the opportunity to think of a creative way to tell him.

I've had a onsie that I had made for a few years. "Our" song is You and Me by Lifehouse. So the onsie says "You and me... and baby makes three!"

I wanted to do more with it so I set up a whole little "Announcement" setting on the couch so it'd be the first thing he saw when he came upstairs.

Being the evil wife that I am, I videotaped everything!

How I told Lobster

Lobster Finding Out

As far as what we did to get pregnant:

I didn't do anything different really. I was going to try the pineapple core simply because we bought a pineapple the week I thought I was going to ovulate.

I have never temped or used OPKs so I made an educated guess and ate a piece of core at what I believed was 1 DPO then forgot until 3 DPO and then forgot again, so I only ate two pieces.

As far as symptoms go:

I've been really tired, but I was attributing it to stress at work. I cramped Thursday and yesterday, but the cramps were different from AF cramps, almost like a sharp pain every now and then. When I got out of bed Friday morning I had a sharp cramp that almost doubled me over.

Saturday I had a few cramps and didn't have much of an appetite but that may have been due to the excitement.

I have had some heartburn, again, that could be because I haven't eaten much.

Other than that. Nothing that really made me think I was pregnant. I really was expecting to wake up with spotting yesterday. (I generally spot three days before AF shows up.)

So here goes... our trek into parenthood!!! Ekkk!
