This was the first test I took. You can barely see the positive line but it was there (just like my first test with Micah). Maybe this is why Scott wasn't convinced.

Positively Pregnant
May 30th
I think Scott was skeptical about the positive results I had gotten. Even though I had already taken two tests with positive results he insisted on me taking another test...just to be sure. I took one and didn't see it working like I normally do so thought it was a dud. We had to go to town to get his grandma a birthday present so he bought me a package of three tests. Well, by the time we got back to the house the test I took before going to town had worked and said positive. I used one of the three he bought and again, got an instant positive. I think he is finally convinced. I also think we are both a little overwhelmed at the thought of actually having two babies to care for. Thinking of having two and then it being a reality really changes things.
I'm not sure how Micah is going to handle having a baby around. He will be 21 months old when the baby arrives. It seems like the older he gets the more of a Momma's baby he becomes. He has also shown jealousy with the grandparents and other children recently. I never want him to fear that he is any less loved because there is another child around. I am already starting to tell him how loved he will always be and that he will always be my baby boy.
I am excited and terrified at the same time. And I can't wait to be able to tell everyone. I'm still trying to figure out when the best time will be to tell.

Cautiously Excited
May 29th
We returned from vacation Sunday and I found an old pregnancy test in the cabinet. I decided if I hadn't started my cycle when I woke up yesterday (my first cycle day) I would test just for the heck of it. I've really had no indication to make me even think I might be pregnant besides some pretty severe cramping on the 25th or 26th, which could have been related to my oncoming cycle. The test was $1 when I bought it several months back. I fully expected for it to be one line with a completely blank slate to the left of the control line. To my amazement there was a slight line indicating positive. I took it outside to Scott and asked him if he saw anything and he said barely. I had some pretty severe cramping right after lunch and got sick to my stomach. This made me want to test again even more.
This morning I stopped by the stored and bought a Fist Response test. This was the name brand that gave me my sure enough positive with Micah so I trust the brand. Sure enough, there was a positive line about as soon as the control line appeared. Looks like we are now waiting for number two to arrive. I've scheduled an appointment for June 5th with my doctor. Now to decide when to tell. It's hard because I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings and don't want to tell too soon in case something happens.
