Waiting!

So Cory is too excited to keep it a secret from his family, so he already told them. His dad's excited, but his mom's skeptical. She said she won't believe it until we go to the doctor, which won't be for another 3 weeks!

It's really annoying having to wait, but we've been looking at developmental pictures and information on Baby Center to keep ourselves amused!

We're hoping the pregnancy will go well. We just found out Cory, who's a framer with a construction company, won't have any work for a few weeks. I work full time, and I feel pretty sure I should be able to throughout my pregnancy. My biological mother never had issues with pregnancy, so I hope I don't either. Until Cory's work gets steady I definitely don't want to have to worry about my own ability to work.

Double Checking

So, being the extremely skeptical people we are, Cory and I bought two more pregnancy tests (thank the Lord for my walgreens employee discount).

And yes, they're both positive! I called this afternoon to schedule a doctor's appointment. Apparently, they don't need to see me for another few weeks, because three positive tests are good enough proof. I'm so excited though!

We're already talking about baby names. Of course when we first started courting, Cory mentioned he was dead set on Gavin Lee for his first-born son. I'm not sure where Gavin comes from, but Lee is for Cory's uncle Lee, who died from an allergic reaction to penicillin.

We've never discussed girl's names though...but since Cory's dead set on having a boy, I guess we won't worry about it we find out the gender, which apparently is between 15-20 weeks.

I'm Pregnant!

So this morning I woke up sore and tired from a weekend of LARP in Triangle, VA with the Avalon VA chapter. Wes and Mike and I had driven 8 hours up to the VA chapter purely for the heck of it, and it was so worth it. Anyone that larps will understand what I mean.

However, after sword fighting all night, running through the woods, falling, jumping up, sleeping on a table in the tavern, and waking up dirty and sore and tired, I realized something. My period is about 2 days late. Now that doesn't sound like much, but I'm usually able to track my period perfectly, and its never late.

So I just knew I had to be pregnant. I called up Cory and told him "Happy Father's Day!" and of course his response was something along the lines of, "What? You're pregnant? Are you sure? What time are you coming home? Have you taken a test?" He was ecstatic, but disbelieving.

Needless to say, I told Wes and Mike, who were both encouraging, and spent the 8-hour drive home eagerly awaiting the chance to take a test. I took the test and little while ago, and it was a positive!
