Four Weeks

[Written 9/13/11]

Today we found out that I'm pregnant! We're elated!

I decided to test in the morning, before taking Michael to the airport. Since this was the last day of R&R. Seeing that he was only home for two weeks, actually becoming pregnant seemed unlikely, but also having a positive pregnancy test before he went back just seemed like a improbable scenario to me.

I was already convinced that it was going to be negative. It was a digital test, so when you're waiting there is a little hour glass that flashes... like the result is downloading or something. Ha. I didn't watch it. I was going to check it three minutes later. Then somewhere between 30 seconds and a minute after I set it down, Michael announces,  "It says pregnant" while holding it up. I think something like "Nah Uhhh!" came out of my mouth. You'll have to ask Michael about this if you want more details, he probably remembers my reaction a bit better than I do.

We ate leftover strata for breakfast while using an online calculator to calculate the baby's due date. According to my LMP, I'm due May 22nd. At some point Michael took a bunch of pictures of the test. He's adorable like that.

Our happiness nearly overshadowed the sadness of today's schedule. We snapped a picture together before heading to the airport.

According to the due date calculator, I'm exactly four weeks along, which I thought seemed really weird. I mean, Michael was only home for two weeks, so how could that be? Hahaha. Turns out you get two freebie weeks when counting pregnancy weeks because they count from your LMP, you can read more about that here if you'd like.
