So we had an exciting morning!!! I took a pregnancy test (it was a dollar store generic one). It appeared negative to me....but I left it out. 20 min later I walked by and it still looked negative...so I threw it away. Then I hopped in the shower. When I got out....I thought that I should look at it again. I dismissed that thought....but then decided to peek at it. And a very faint shadow of a 2nd line appeared. I grabbed it out of the trash can....and was still unsure. I showed Patrick and he said he could barely see the line as well. So I hopped in the car and drove to Walmart and bought a more reliable test. Since the 1st test was barely positive with the 1st urine of the day...I thought for sure this one would appear negative. But....nope...it says "pregnant"!! I was so surprised!! No wonder I've been completely exhausted for the past 2 weeks!!
I recently bought a white shirt for Emily that has been washed but not worn and I had these iron on letters for a couple of years now. So I quickly made this shirt and plan on showing my parents when we go see them this weekend.
I told Emily there was a baby in my belly. She said, "no, my belly!" while raising her shirt! So then when Elliott came home I asked Emily, "Where's the baby?" She promptly points to my belly. Elliott looked shocked....but hesitant...and said "what?". So we did it again. He was so excited and said, "REALLY?!?" He's been praying for a baby for over 2 years now. A few weeks ago, he said, "I don't think Heavenly Father hears my prayers. Why don't you have a baby in your belly yet, I've been praying for one for so long." It absolutely broke my heart! I told him to not give up. So he was so very excited!
We got to my parent's house late Thursday night. Elliott had a mischevious grin. I told him "no!" I knew exactly what he wanted to do...he wanted to tell grandma and grandpa!! So Friday morning, we wake up...and I put this shirt on Emily. Grandma walks in and Elliott points to her shirt. Grandma says, "Big sis....well what does your shirt say Elliott?" She totally didn't get it. So Elliott runs over to me and whispers, "Can I just tell her?" I nodded and said yes. So he goes to grandma and says, "Mommy has a baby in her belly!" Yep...she got that one!! And was super excited!! I said, "Mom...big sis???" She says...oh yeah. Grandpa walks in...and it's the exact same story. Reads it...doesn't register...Elliott tells him to clue him in. So funny!!
This is the picture I send to my siblings. Brock/Katy & Bret/Michelle were the only ones who got it! At least the shirt worked on SOMEONE!!
Emily thinks I want to take a pic of her nails....ha ha ha!!!
