poppy seeds and sesame

Well....I read this morning that you are the size of a poppy seed. I love poppy seeds! It must be love at first sight. I know this journey has just begun but you are already making yourself a very real presence! I am constantly hot....burning up....more so than normal. And talk about exhaustion....! I don't know how you and I are going to be able to teach a full day. Those poor first graders...they don't know what they are in for! I think this week begins the start of your growth into a sesame seed! Here's to good growth....

Test and test again

yep....still pregnant. I don't know what was going through my mind but I doubted myself...so hence a second test was used this morning (good thing I splurged and bought the 3 pack!). The second test still proved pregnant...so this will officially begin. Mike is out golfing with the boys and we are going on our 'date' when he returns. I didn't sleep very well last night....pregnancy tests and babies were racing through my brain. I tried to calm them with prayers...but I think the excitement was overwheleming. It felt like I was a child again waiting for the okay to come down to the living room on Christmas morning....extreme anticipation! Well....I should go and get a few things done before Mike comes back...like call the doctor :)

Today was a day like any other day. Mike woke me up when he left with a quick kiss and an "I love you." I got out of bed minutes later, did the dishes, fed the dogs, etc. Then I decided to take the scheduled pregnancy test, without much hope mind you. The doctor, at my yearly exam, had declared without much emothion that I did not appear to be pregnant, but I figured I should just take one and get it over with. Then....my life changed with one faint extra blue line. Unbelievable. I always dreamed what this moment would be...would I cry, shout for joy, instantly call Mike, ? Instead I prayed, hid the test and went on with my day. I am going to tell Mike tomorrow at our breakfast 'date'. With such exciting, life changing news within me, it was hard to not smile at every single moment of my day. The things that normally would have put me in a tizzy, seemed not to bother with such life altering news. So this begins the journey....so this begins the prayer....
