Our Story

Without going into too many details, here is our baby story. . .

Being a first year teacher we knew there was a small window of opportunity to welcome our bundle of joy without interfering with school.  Ready to expect a baby in June, I started "planning" what our holiday announcement cards would look like.  I waited 3 extra days to take the test . . . "not pregnant"  The next morning I had a visitor.  Sadly, October was not our lucky month. :(

Then, November rolled around.  This time I was determined not to take a test too soon.  { although really it wasn't too soon in October, my body was just stubborn. }  Either way I waited and was going to wait until we got home from Thanksgiving Break.  However, on Thanksgiving when I wasn't enjoying an evening in the hot tub { just in case }  I was bored and decided to take a test . . .  2 lines!!! With 3 sticks at my disposable I took another test . . . 2 more lines!  I wrapped up the tests and surprised Jon in the morning with an early Christmas gift.  :)

{ Some Already Knew . . .  }

The day after I was supposed to have my period, Jon received a text message from his younger sister informing us that she had a dream we were pregnant.  Determined not to rejoice until the test, my only response was "I wish . . ."

After announcing our pregnancy to Jon's family, his brother in New York informed us that he had a dream in November that we were pregnant . . .  his wife then proceeded to inform us she has known for months. :)

Finally, while I was at a baby shower just days after taking the test . . . my dear friend's sister was convinced I was pregnant . . . no symptoms, not showing, nothing. Wow!
