The news is out...
So the other post I was talking about...I wasn't feeling too well on the day we were doing the party. The reason being that I had taken a pregnancy test on thursday, the day before, and it came back positive!! Yes I said positive! For those that didn't know we had 2 different tests come back positive. Once in November of last year, the Sunday before Thanksgiving. And I started on Thanksgiving day. It was rather sad, but from what I've found out it was a false positive and not really a miscarriage, but still sad. And then again this February, but this one was more so because it was an actual miscarriage. They said it was chemical, but a little over a week from the positive test I started and of course was devistated. We didn't have time to really tell anyone the first time and because of what happened we didn't want to tell a whole lot of people about the second one. So this time around we were going to wait until James and I had heard the heartbeat and then let everyone know. But I'm not the most patient person. Anyhow, after I had taken the pregnancy test, I started spotting. So because of what had happened before I called the next morning and they had me come in to do a blood test. I had to go back in the following Monday to have another one done so they could compare and I wouldn't know anything until that day. A little bit of a long weekend. But they called me on Monday as soon as they had the results and said that my HCG (the hormone that makes preggo tests come back positive) was 253 on Friday and it was over 3000 on Monday. So I was definitely pregnant!!!! I was so relieved as was James. So we proceeded to tell just about everyone we know. Yes we are crazy and we do know what causes it! And we couldn't be happier. This little one should be here sometime around June 14th (due date), but hopefully before and not late. When we told Andrew that I was going to have a baby the first thing he said was I have 2 Paisley's in my belly. I asked him if he meant there were 2 babies in my belly to which he replied yes and that they were 2 girls. Since then it has changed to a boy and a girl. Here's to hoping he's not right this time around. Nothing against twins, but wow, that would be a lot. He was right about Paisley being a girl though! But we'll see. So far though everything seems to be going well, I'm already getting sick, (this usually takes a few weeks) and I'm super exhausted. But I'll make it through. I'll keep updating as I know.

Congratulations!!! I hope your pregnancy goes well. That's funny about Andrew's response. Aidan was positive that we were having a girl and was right! The veil seems pretty thin with young children.
Congrats on the pregnancy. I hope everything continues to go well with you and the baby. If you have twins I will be so jealous. I would love to have twins!
