BIG FAT POSITIVE!! BIG FAT POSITIVE!!!!

So July brought some interesting news to the Lange household!!! We have just gotten over the news that we will be moving up north in the next couple of months when today brought some really awesome news!

Henry and I are having a BABY!! That's right...I got a positive pregnancy test result today! I can still hardly believe it.

So this is how it went down. So as many people know, I was diagnosed back in May with insulin resistance/PCOS...which basically means that my insulin levels are a lot higher than they should be. I started taking medication and changed my diet and actually lost a few pounds in the process. :)) I started taking PG tests at the end of June and they all came back negative. I was sad, but expected it as the doctor told me it may take me a while to get my body back to the "normal" operating standard.

After not getting my period for 45 days I took another test (came back negative) and started the prometrium (which is a pill that kick starts your period). And I waited...nothing happened. On Thursday, June 29th, I thought that my period had finally started and told the doctor we were good to go. Well I never started bleeding...I won't go into any more details as I am not sure who will be reading this.

So today, while Henry was out fishing with his friend, I decided to run to Target to buy a new pack of pregnancy test. I didn't tell Henry because I didn't want him to think I was crazy or wasting money on tests that were sure to come back negative. I did it for my own piece of mind. So around 6 PM, I went upstairs and took the test. I was totally preparing myself for a negative result again. Was I in for a surprise...within seconds...I got a very strong, very clear two pink line positive result! I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT!!!!

I was so psyched, I grabbed the two onsies that I had bought to tell Henry we were having a baby and ran downstairs calling Henry's name. I guess the way I was calling his name concerned Henry and he thought that something was wrong (he told me later he thought a cat had died). I run into the study and scream..We're Having a Baby...the look of totaly shock and disbelief on his face (had I not been so surprised myself) was priceless. For the first time ever, I totally caught him off guard and struck him speachless. I had the onesie's in my hand but was crying and shaking so hard I don't think I ever showed them to him until later.

Needless to say, both Henry and I are in shock. It took Henry a good 30 minutes of walking around in a daze to really grasp the concept that he is going to be a DADDY!!! By my calculations, if everything goes well...our little one will be born in late March/early April. My first line of business will be calling the doctor tomorrow!

Below are a few pictures of the onsie's that I bought to show Henry and the first positive PG test. I will be taking another one tomorrow morning.

It should be a very interesting 9 months.....
