We're Pregnant...Again!

Getting pregnant again was so exciting/scary/overwhelming all at the same time. I was sitting on the couch one Saturday morning while DJ was in the studio and I wasn't feeling very well. I knew I was late, but everything had been so irregular that I tried not to stress (the month before I took stupid amount of tests so I didn't want to waste money again). Then I went to brush my teeth and got sick.

HOLY COW. Could I be pregnant again??

I had one digital test left and knew I needed to take one.

For those of you who don't remember our story, DJ was the first person to find out we were pregnant with Penelope (long story) so I was DETERMINED to find out this time.

I waited and waited as the hourglass on the pregnancy test made me want to pull my hair out. Surely I wasn't pregnant yet. We had just started having the "yes, I'm ready for more kids" conversation!!

And then I saw it:




Pregnant. I feel like it should say "PREGNANT!!!!!!"

I just sat there. My face went numb and my jaw was on the floor. I had to tell DJ!!!

I called DJ and told him I was really sick and needed to go to the doctor. I drove to Toys R Us looking for a "big sister" shirt for Penelope and they didn't have one! Can you believe that?! So, I settled for card. One for DJ and one for Penelope. :)

Then, I drove to meet DJ at the walk-in clinic (we weren't going there, but I had to trick him to get him out of the studio) and I let him in on a little part of my secret. I said, "DJ, I lied to you. I don't need to go to the doctor...I got you a present! ...And it's very expensive". :)

At this point, DJ was freaking out thinking I had blown our budget. Poor guy is always living on the edge with me and the crazy things I do to him. haha

I pulled up next to DJ's car and turned on my video camera. I had to capture his reaction because I knew he was going to freak! At this point, he was skeptical of why I had the camera out. I had him open then card and he was basically speechless. "You're pregnant.....seriously??"

He still didn't believe me because I'm always playing pranks on him. I showed him the proof (the pregnancy test). Then he REALLY freaked! ;)

I was barely pregnant at the time, so I had to wait until January 3rd for our first appointment. Being pregnant and having a baby to chase after makes the time just fly by. Here is the first picture of our baby L at nearly 9 weeks:

Seeing our nugget for the first time was amazing! Penelope was going crazy at this point because she can't sit still for more than 5 seconds, but all I wanted to see was that little heart beat. When I saw that little monkey, I immediately started to cry. 173 beats per minute. It was all real...we were going to have another baby!!!
