The pregnancy test

This morning I just had a hunch to take a pregnancy test, I am only a couple of days late... I set it on the back of the toilet, jumped into the shower, and when I got out, glanced at the test. Two pink lines, one was pretty dark and the other was lighter. AHH..what does that mean!?  The key at the side side indicated 1 line "not pregnant" and 2 lines "pregnant."  But, I needed more clarification because that lighter line was just not convincing.  Since I had thrown the box and directions away previously (it was a two pack, and I used one test a couple of months ago), I quickly grabbed my iPhone and Googled the phrase "First Response pregnancy test, one line dark and one line light."  A Q&A page came up with posts of other's who have had similar experiences. Almost everyone one who posted on the page confirmed that it means you're pregnant.  I walked downstairs to Will (daddy) while he was getting ready for work and handed the test to him with a big smile on my face.  He smiled back, kissed me, and held me close.  He told me he had a gut feeling ...about a baby...  Then while we drove to work (we work at the same location), we saw two bunnies pouncing through the snow.  Will's cousin, Jacee, is pregnant too and she told us once that she'd have dreams about bunnies before she got pregnant, and noted that bunnies are a sign of fertility.  I didn't think anything of it until today - because she also has bunnies as pets, maybe she is just dreaming about her pets?  Nope -how ironic!  

I made an appointment with my family doctor this Thursday 1.31.13, conveniently after Will's 8am allergy appointment, so we can share the experience (YAY! - DR visits make me queezy).  All day I just wanted to tell people that I was pregnant. But, I couldn't because we don't know that FOR SURE yet!  I'm confident enough I guess that I started this blog "Deer Baby," (mainly because "Dear" was taken, and of course it's fitting  <Mr. Willy the deer hunter and all>.) 

Will even grilled us an amazing venison lunch today at work (great way to celebrate-YUM)!  Will is already calling me "baby mama" and suggesting what I should eat, drink, and when I should be in bed. He skwaked that I had half a can of Dr. Pepper after dinner. mmm! 

Well... we weren't trying but we certainly weren't preventing (some of our friends laugh at this motto)- we were just going with the mindset not to stress about getting pregnant and allowing God to bless us when it was the right time (ahem...estimating the due date being during bow season...sorry Will)

I don't feel pregnant.
I don't have morning sickness or crave anything.
I feel a little plumper than normal.

Hoping to publish this thing soon...IF Thursday provides good news!  How do I sleep at all until then!?

On a side note: Jacee has inspired me to keep this blog. She's about 4 months along and adorable. Her blog www.ittybittybabybeck.blogspot.com is worth reading :) Just another plug for her: She's an amazing photographer: check her out at www.jaceebeckphotography.com.
