Our patter

Ive saved these as drafts to be posted in the future when the news is out to everyone. We got our positive test the end of May and have had trouble keeping it secret ever since :)

Anyways, it all started one Saturday morning, for the past week I had had a bloated stomach and after freaking myself out at the Doctors reading an ovarian cancer leaflet my GP proceeded to tell me my symptoms sounded more like IBS. I already had a feeling I might be pregnant, apart from the bloated stomach I was constantly hungry, constantly eating and constantly listening to the growls from my stomach. I got up and sneaked out the pregnancy test while the husband was busy with something, after obviously reading the best times to do it all. I proceeded :) Im not going into details as Im sure you all know what goes on there! I brushed my teeth while waiting but couldnt help taking peeks :) there was mostly some lines already there... I just needed to figure out from the paperwork what they meant. Apparently I was looking for a vertical line in one window which meant the test was working, check! and in the other window I was looking for a cross of some sort, what did I have? a cross... no hang on, wait there.. these things dont just happen so easily!! Was it correct? 3 months?? Surely that cant be right. 

I calmly walk into the living room where the husband is wandering around looking for something. I ask him, have you seen this? does that look like a cross to you? pointing at the second window. His answer, what is it? 'but does it look like a cross' he frowns, pulls his usual Im confused face and again asks the same question. I want to shout it out to him, but I want to make sure Im not seeing things first. Just tell me, is that a cross?? Yeah I guess so, definitely 2 lines... 'well, this means that we might be pregnant' a huge grin bursts across his face, the same grin I saw the first day we laid eyes on each other, the same grin when I first saw him just before we were to be married.. I know that smile, hes happy :) and he hugs me strongly to tell me he so (a man of few words but many actions my husband!) my heart bursts with emotion and love.

So we decide there and then to take one step at a time and not tell anyone until we see 'it'
