So before leaving for Dallas for the Thanksgiving Holiday, Paul and I worked on getting our house back to tolerable until about 2 am on November 22nd. Through our exhaustion, and attempts to get ready for our trip, I decided it was a prime time to take the pregnancy test.. and immediately it turned to a plus sign! We are pregnant! It was exciting, but we were so exhausted, we just went straight to bed.
(obviously not my fingers..but I didn't take a picture!)
So... the common trend is to keep your pregnancy a "secret" until your second trimester.. but I am only through my first month... This is going to be a difficult task. I am either going to have to "pretend" to drink, or not be put in social situations, which is not fun for me or Paul...
Our first test was Thanksgiving with our families. Everyone noticed I wasn't drinking and suspected that I was expecting.. I would just smile and say "We are trying"... but apparently, my HUGE grin wasn't convincing, and my sister was on to me! She just smiled back, and we were on the same page!
The second test was the day after Thanksgiving. We went to a very good friend's 30th birthday party. Now, we have been friends with these people since high school, so they all know i enjoy a good beer! These friends already knew we were "trying", and when I wasn't drinking, they were on to me... So, it appears that I am not very good at keeping this pregnancy thing a secret!
It's difficult because it is such an exciting time for us, but at the same time, there is always the possibility of complications. So, we'll just keep positive and praying that all goes well.
Until next time,
Jodi
