THERE'S A LINE!

There's a line!
This morning I woke up and knew something was different, I felt pregnant. Actually, I really started feeling it strongly on Friday. I went to Target and bought a pregnancy test. It turned positive in about a minute. I went back a few minutes later and it had darkened up a little bit. I'm still in disbelief. I was worried about some of the things going on with my body: cramping and spotting. But then I read online that cramping and spotting is normal the first few weeks of pregnancy.

I met Doug for lunch today and was excited to tell him the news. Before he got out of the truck I told him to sit down because I had to tell him something. He said "What?" I leaned over and whispered "I'm pregnant!" He said "How do you know?" I told him I took a test today. I had complaining earlier in the week that my period was coming so he wasn't expecting this. So he said "Cool!" I told him if all goes well we'll be welcoming our baby in September!

I'm going to take another test in the morning -- just to be sure! And I'll be calling the doctor first thing Monday morning!

Other Symptoms
Some other symptoms that were telling me something was different were increased heartburn and tiredness. I've always had heartburn, but it just got worse this week. I've also been really tired. I was really cranky on Monday at work. I had to stay late because my carpool buddy (Mary) had to stay late. I got crabby because I just wanted to lay down. Also, on Tuesday I came home from work and Doug and I were watching TV, I fell asleep on the couch! I am the lightest sleeper and I can't sleep with the TV on or any noise. I fell asleep in the living room while watching the TV, I was snoring! That is totally odd for me. I did it tonight too! I was watching SNL and Doug left for band practice, I was cold so I cuddled up with a blanket on the couch. Next thing I know it was 45 minutes later.

I'm really emotional today too! I haven't cried yet, I keep getting close. It's like a choked up feeling, but I haven't cried. I almost did when I told Doug, I had tears in my eyes and was shaking with excitement and nerves!
