We suspected something was up in early November, but two home pregnancy tests came out negative. We were more confused than disappointed – it really seemed strange that I was craving broccoli (those who know me well will understand that this should have been a dead giveaway).
So we followed the package instructions and waited two weeks, and got our answer on Friday, November 17: a definite, digital YES that appeared in seconds! We were a bit surprised (this wasn’t planned) but absolutely elated, but we had to keep our excitement quiet – my sister Heather was arriving for a weekend visit within an hour. So we did our best to be ‘normal’, even when Heather asked me point blank if I was pregnant. And she wasn’t the only one! It felt like everyone was asking out of the blue, but we did a great job of lying (and asking forgiveness later). We wanted to keep it quiet so we could surprise everyone at Christmas!
I confirmed the news the following Monday at Planned Parenthood (I had to be certain!) and a visit to Dr. Maybach in early December made it real: our due date is Monday, July 23, 2007!
