5 weeks

I'm PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am excited times 10 billion!!!! OK, ok, I could go on forever with the exclamation points. Let's get down to the good stuff!

When are you due? January 11th, 2015 

When did you find out that you were pregnant? Thursday, May 8th....although, I took about 10 pregnancy tests over the course of the weekend. When I took the first test it was in the morning as we were both getting ready for work. I remember seeing two lines and just kept saying to Jon while shoving the test in his face, "Why are there TWO LINES?!" And WHY ARE THERE TWO LINES!?

I could NOT concentrate at all the rest of the week! I always imagined telling Jon in this amazing pinterest-y way...Nope! luckily, I had brushed my teeth, so lots of kissing and hugging ensued :)

How did Jon react? Shocked and excited. He is more ready than I am! He has been wanting a little one forever! 

Any morning sickness? No, not really 

Will you find out what you're having? Yes.

Where are you delivering? Somewhere in Portland...no idea where yet!

Was this planned? No. Huge surprise! My period was a week late and I started freaking out. We planned on starting our family this year, but not until much later (fall/winter). We are thrilled but surprised!

Are you excited? YES!!!

Are you going to work outside the home after having a baby? No, probably not right away. I will be finishing my student teaching until August 2014 (working 50 hours a week....) then finishing some independent study classes when I move to Portland fall semester.

My sweet SIL Ari, found out the day I found out :) I texted her the picture of the pregnancy test on the way to school and said, "Are there two lines? What does a faint line mean?" Over the course of the next two days, she assured me that yes, I was pregnant, and yes, a faint line is still a positive (luckily, it got much darker as the days went by). She answered my every woe and concern with such sweetness and patience! She is my best friend and I LOVE that lady. She is a treasure!

I am 5 weeks tomorrow (Monday, May 12th). Let the adventure begin!!
