We're Pregnant! (Telling Daniel)

    Around September, we decided it was about time for a baby. We had been married almost 3 1/2 years and I was getting baby fever! I had stopped all birth control a few months before, and we were anxious to just see what happened!
    We didn't have to wait very long...Daniel loves to throw out a good, corny joke about that, but I will leave that off here! On October 9th I took about 6 pregnancy tests and couldn't believe what I saw. Daniel had been feeding out calves and was leaving the house around 7 each morning to feed. I  took the tests after he left because I really did not believe that the first 4 were right. All day at work I had to think of a way to tell Daniel. Mostly, I wondered what his reaction would be.
    I kept all the tests in a ziplock bag that day. When Daniel got home I told him I was not feeling well and that I thought I had a temperature. He was sitting in the recliner, watching tv, and I told him I could not read the thermometer (which was really the pregnancy test). He rolled his eyes and grabbed it out of my hands! His eyes got really big, and he had a sweet little smile. He didn't say much but gave me a huge hug. About 10 seconds later, still holding the test, he says "Sick...you pee'd on this!" Ha! Of course the germaphobe in him would instantly think of that!
   It was a pretty great day...and we decided not to tell our family until Christmas when I would be around 12 weeks. Let the fun, and sickness begin!

Purpose

First off, thanks for visiting my blog! I have been wanting to start one for awhile now.  This blog was created for our sweet baby. The blog will be printed into a book when baby gets here so we can always remember what 'G's' pregnancy was like. I am going to call the baby G until we know what 'G' is.

Really, this is a selfish blog. I am doing it only for baby. But, I plan to share lots of stories and pictures as we fly through this journey.
