A little of a SCARE!!!
This story was harder to tell Jeff than my really being pregnant, so he's going to read this on the blog. I have been on birth control since Brooke's birth. I was supposed to restart June's birth control 2 days before Jeff was deploying, but I figured I was safe not restarting until he returns. Well, a few days ago I spotted (all of us women know what that is) way off schedule. I remember reading when I was pregnant about spotting at the time of implantation, so I got a little worried. I had a test left over from last year so I took it yesterday morning. I knew I hadn't felt sick or had sore boobs like last time, so I figured I was ok. Well, I peed on the stick and waited a few minutes until I got the results. Remember, 1 line (not) and 2 lines (are). As soon as I read the results I did feel nauseous. TWO LINES. OH CRAP!!! What am I going to do, how will I tell Jeff??? Would I wait to tell everyone like last time until Jeff gets home. I'm not ready to be pregnant again!!! Then I thought, that was an old test and I have read you can get a false positive if the test is expired. I had a few errands to run, so I decided to stop and get a new pregnancy test. As soon as I got home (Brooke still in her car seat), I ran to pee on the little white stick that can change your life forever. I never knew 3 minutes could take FOREVER!!! Finally, the little digital hour glass stopped thinking and decided what it was going to tell me...NOT pregnant. Now which test do I believe??? I went to the other bathroom where I took the test and got the wrapper out of the trash to check the expiration date. The expiration date was 11/09, so it's still a good test. THEN I noticed very small print under the words First Response...Ovulation Test!! I had a positive OVULATION test which means I'm ovulating and NOT pregnant. Thank Goodness!!! Don't get me wrong, I loved being pregnant, but I just became a first time mom and I love spending time with my daughter and I'm not ready to have another baby interupt my time with her. Her little smiling face just lights me up at 6am every morning and I want to keep it that way for a little while.

That's so funny! I was reading with suspense! Leave it to you to pee on an ovulation stick instead of a pregnancy test! Sounds like something your mom or Aunt Kelly would have done! :-) I'm glad everything turned out for you!
Been there, done that! :) You'd think they'd make those ov. tests look different than the pg. ones. I'm sure the same thing has happened to lots of women and given them lil' heart attacks :) Glad Brooke won't be a big sis just yet. But, be careful waiting to start b.c. til Jeff comes home. That's how we ended up with our first bundle of joy (Hailey)...going on and off can really mess your system up and throw off your cycle :) Though we all look forward to the next little Gritz to come......
I can just see you now! That story has me smiling ear to ear! Glad it all worked out the way you wanted. Although, you have so much love I'm sure Brooke wouldn't have minded a bit! Love ya!
well, at least you know that next time you try to have another one all jeff has to do is leave town!!!
