A lovely April Fool's joke

On April Fool's day I woke up with anticipation and knew I was going to take a pregnancy test first thing in the morning. I followed all of the instructions and guess what happened?

It didn't work!



Really? I had already peed all that I could while attempting to pee on a stick...great. Looks like I was just going to have to wait and see when I could pee again. If you've never taken a pregnancy test you should know to pee in a cup. It's a lot easier and if your test fails you can just use another one right away. (P.S. called the company and they sent a replacement, remember that post on good customer service...thanks Proctor and Gamble)

So I went for a run, dug up some flowers, played in the yard, drank a glass of water and finally could go again around noon.

This time...success! Yippeee!!!!



I ran and called Steven and he said, "Are you kidding me?" (well it was April Fool's Day and I had tried that joke before)

No joke! We're having a baby and we're due on December 6th!

We're 7 weeks and one day and here's out sweet baby!

Yea, that is so exciting! Were you worried when that first test was negative. I guess the April Fool was on you...

SOOOO Happy for y'all!!!

Sooooo exciting!!

I told everyone at school that I was pregnant with SA on Aprils Fools, and no one believed me! It was just the first day I could tell them when we came back from spring break :)

The Halbert Home said...

Miriam, I was just mad that the test didn't work and I didn't have any more pee to take another one haha.

Erica said...

Congrats. Thanks for the insights on cloth diapers. I'm still not sure how I feel about velcro.

Isn't this an exciting new journey? We're excited to add another little blessing to our family. Enjoy this transition to parenting.

Andrea said...

Congratulations! Tests for both my kids came back negative the first time! Thanks for coming by! And for all the great advice! I can't wait to get started on my garden!

Too funny! We found out that I was pregnant with our first together on April 1st. I didn't realized the date and excitedly told my husband. He didn't believe me. It kind of ruined the excitement until he pointed out what day it was!

Congratulations!
