That time we found out we were Pregnant :)

So, it has been a LONG time since I last posted. Fail. I know. Its been a super busy few months. And I can't even remember everything that has happened. However, as you may have guesses from the title, we're having a baby! :D The story about how we found out....Its a funny one. Or, I think so, anyway.

On December 22nd, I was due to have my tonsils taken out. They've caused me a lot of issues with strep throat and such. So my doctor wanted them out. For a couple weeks leading up to the surgery, I'd felt sick. I chalked it up to nerves over the surgery. Clint pestered me to take a test, but I insisted that wasn't the reason. I was tired, all that jazz. Chalked it up to working too hard before the holidays. SO there I was, in pre-op, on the 22nd. I've been IV'd, gowned, and I'm ready to go into the OR. They had taken a urine sample, and they always test for pregnancy in women, as a safety precaution. The nurse came running in, with a grin that went from ear to ear. She says "I think we gave you an IV a little too early", and puts a little piece of plastic in my face. It has two lines on it. She says, "honey, its positive." My mouth just dropped, and I burst into tears. I kept asking "are you serious?? seriously???" I was crying so hard, that she asked "is this a happy thing??" Absolutely, it is!! I was just in such shock. Clint and I have never protected ourselves against pregnancy, and we were beginning to think we couldn't have children. It was becoming discouraging. Clint immediately called his mom, who didn't believe us. Clint's such a joker, so I can see why she was doubtful! Needless to say, surgery was cancelled. I can't be put under, its too dangerous for baby. We went to wal-mart, bought pregnancy tests, and took them. All 3 also came back positive. We were in total shock. We still kind of are. But we are so, so excited!!!! We cannot WAIT!

On the 23rd, we went to the doctor. They tested again, and confirmed that we are, indeed, pregnant. They did a full exam, asked some questions, and gave us a due date of August 1st. Which means I am just entering my 3rd month of pregnancy. We have an ultrasound on January 3rd. We'll get to hear a heartbeat. See how big the baby is. We cannot wait. We are beyond excited to be parents. My parents are SO excited to be grandparents. My grandparents are so excited to be great-grandparents. Basically, everyone is just super excited. :D
