Yippie!!! I'm Pregnant!!!

[veggijessie]

Sorry about all the yelling, I AM JUST SOOOO EXCITED!!!!!:D

I just found out about 15 minutes ago. I have no symptoms, but I did not feel crazy like I normally do before AF. So I grabbed a $ store test just for fun and it was + so I gradded another one and it was + too!

I wanted to tell someone so bad so here I am! I have to come up with a creative way to tell DH tonight. Last time I made a shirt for DS that said "Big Brother" and it was so funny, it took DH a minute to "get it"!

Thanks for letting me get this out. If anyone has great, cheap ideas for telling DH I would love to hear them.
Thanks, Jessica

Congrats! I have no cute ideas for telling DH, as I had to break the news to mine pretty gently, but I can tell you how I'm going to announce things on my blog, when we get to this point.

Have someone take a picture of you barefoot in the kitchen. Tell DH that you have a quiz for him. Give him a piece of paper with the picture, and the printed question: "Fill in the blank: Jessica is barefoot and _________ in the kitchen."

Maybe I just have a warped sense of humor. ;)

That is so funny! My DH would not get it! He would find every other word to put in the blank except the right word!:lol He is pretty oblivious! But the best DH in the world!

Congratulations!! I have no suggestions for a creative way to tell. See my story below to see why there is no point to putting any effort into anything like this in my household :lol.

He is pretty oblivious! But the best DH in the world!

When I showed dh the pg test with the big POSITIVE sign on it, he asked what it meant. When I said it meant we were going to have a baby, he said "Oh. Are you sure?" When I assured him I was, he said, "That was easy," and went back to changing the brakes on his truck. When I kicked him in the rear and said he was the most unromantic man in the world, he said, "Let's celebrate. Go get me a beer." (He had been abstaining from drinking while we were ttc.)

My dh is totally awesome, but he truly is the most unromantic man in the world. I can't say I didn't know what I was getting into when I married him, though :lol.

Congratulations Jessica!!

LOL!

Let's see...this time I just told DH that we could go ahead and go to our congregation's family camp in a couple of weeks because we wouldn't get to camp the last week of April like we planned for an event we go to every year at that time. He caught on right away because I told him I thought I might be pregnant.

Last time we told our parents in a way that I thought was OBVIOUS - and neither set got it. My sister and sisters-in-law (we told our parents at separate family gatherings) got it. I took a blank baby card and scanned pictures of the other 3 kids as babies. Under each picture I put their name and birthdate. Then I drew a picture of a baby and put "? Surplus" under the picture...and our due date. BOTH sets of parents looked at their cards, smiled, said "what a nice card" and passed it on. The sisters who got it had to tell them what it meant!

Wow. That *is* clueless.

[veggijessie]

I told him!

We never use text messages, and I don't think that he has ever gotten a text. So I started texting him with "I am pregnant!" every 2 minutes until he figured out how to check him messages! He laughed so hard and it only took 3 messages! He is so excited, and has already started picking out names!


BUT... this is all starting to sink in for me. We will have a 7year old, one that turns 3 two days after my due date, a 14 month old, and a new born! We don't have any family in the state and no friends (we just moved to Oregon in July). I am just so excited!!!!

Congratulations on your May baby! :bouncy
