So here Mike and I were. We had decided to expand our family and add a baby. As it turns out, it's not as easy as it seems. But, we worked through it and kept trying. After trying for months, I was ready to take a break. I mentally decided that I needed to start focusing on something other that babies (and they were everywhere! I could count on both hands and one foot the number of women I knew that were pregnant.) Mike and I compete in triathlons, so I began training for my
3rd season. School was coming to an end for the year and I was really busy. Around the 2nd or 3rd week of May I started feeling pretty crappy. I didn't want to think about the possiblity of being pregnant at all. Although I had the number one symptom (and for those that don't know it, I will let you do your own research), I thought it was going to be a fluke. Stress from school ending and my body getting used to training hard again. Through all this, Mike wasn't too worried. He's a guy! They just don't get it. So I told myself (and Mike) I would wait another week. By then surely something would have happened. As that week went on, I couldn't stand it! By May 20th, I had to know. So 2 tests (one digital, one not) and about 5 minutes later, it was confirmed in black and white (and pink!) that I was indeed PREGNANT. Unfortunately, Mike was still asleep. Most mornings I quietly move about the house so he can sleep 30 more minutes that I (so unfair). But that morning was different. I ran upstairs and told him "It says pregnant!" The response I got was "Ok, I'm going back to sleep now. See you later". So I went back downstairs and waited. Mike came down about 5 minutes later and said "I can't go back to sleep after that". So we were going to be parents...
