Surprise!



Yup it's true! David and I are expecting our first baby in the fall!
We found out the day we got back from Sun River. While we were out there I started to suspect something, but didn't think too much of it. I had some pregnancy tests at home and was planning on taking one we got home. Just to be on the safe side I stopped drinking alcohol. I wasn't going to say anything to David, because I've had this happen a couple of times, but it was always a false alarm so, there was no reason to say anything to him unless I knew for sure. However, he had mentioned something about kids and the way home and I decided I should probably tell him. He got excited, but not optimistic. In fact he had pretty much forgotten all about it when we got home. He went upstairs and I went on my mission to take my test. These were little strips that didn't read results very well. It looked positive to me, but I wasn't sure so I did another and another and again I wasn't sure. I told David and he said to go get one at the store that would tell me clearly. While I was gone he went to check the ones I already took. He called me up, "Uhhh...they look positive to me." Well, I still wanted a clear answer, so I bought one that has a digital reading "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant," this way there would be no doubt.
Well I got home, took the test and the result was clear...Pregnant. I walked over to David.
Kathy: "It's positive!"
David: "What does that mean?"
Kathy: "It means I'm pregnant."
David: "Really?"

It's taken some time to convince David and there are still days he doesn't believe it. :) Probably because I have not been sick yet. I just really tired. I'm just starting to get weird food aversions, but it's mostly anything spicy or the texture of meat. Pickles and Ice Cream actually don't sound like a bad idea though...
