Does that stick say what I think it says??

Chris and I decided that we would wait until after our cruise to start "not being careful" about starting a family. Little did we know that our first attempt would stick! Somewhere between Costa Maya, Mexico and Freeport, Bahamas our bun in the oven was created. I started feeling a little strange this week, and when I think about it, I was really sick when we got home from the trip with fever and chills. We just chalked it up to vacation lag cause come on, who gets pregnant the first time they start "not being careful"? But my monthly visitor was late, and I've been feeling strange so I stopped by the drugstore on my way home from work yesterday and picked up a box of Clearblue Easy (on sale of course) and went home to wait for my honey. I think he thought I was just being a little paranoid, or maybe he just didn't want me to be disappointed if it didn't say what I thought it would. Either way he said do it and we'd read the results together. Of course, of all times in my life to NOT have to go, this would be it. I go more frequently than an old person but I just couldn't do it! Stage fright? After a bit though I got it together, took the test, and laid it on the counter to wait the 3 minutes. Chris went in cause I just COULDN'T look and came out with this sheepish grin saying "Honey......." and there it was in real Clearblue Easy style...............PREGNANT. Holy Schmokes. Here we go, an 18 year project has been set in motion! So we both teared up, lots of "I love you's" and kisses, lots of "wow's". We took one test a few minutes later and it must have been too soon cause this one said NOT PREGNANT. What?!?! Oh man, what does THAT mean?? Figures, I did buy the tests on sale. So we were off to the store to buy another test cause we just could NOT let the final word be 50/50. QFC in Covington, by the way, does not carry home pregnancy tests (wierd) but Rite Aid does. We chose a different brand and waited till bed time. And there it was, a plus sign right where its supposed to be. 2 out of 3 ain't bad. Of course we can't really tell anyone yet so it's been a rough day at work. Had to sneak out to my car twice today to call my insurance and doctor to set up appointments and what not. What a secret to keep!!!! I have wanted to call people all day. Trying to figure out how to tell our parent's to make it special. Then who do we tell next? And when? How long should we wait? End of the first trimester won't be till the end of JUNE!!! So long! I can't wait. Little Mini-Cave is due the beginning of January it looks like. Wow. 1st doctor's appointment June 13th. So many questions till then, but for now we are just so so so so so happy. Already can't wait to meet our son/daughter. Let the name ideas begin! :) Chris has already shot down Ruby Donna so I'm back to square one.
