Because I have to tell someone and I'm not letting family/friends know just yet, I gotta say it here...

I'M PREGNANT!!!!

---

So two weeks ago when I was in NY I went for a walk early one morning. On my way back to the hotel I decided to stop by starbucks. For the past few weeks coffee had smelt sooooooo good, but tasted like tar to me. I just figured my tastebuds were changing. However, I knew I couldn't go wrong with a caramel macchiato, so I got a small and kept it moving. I was enjoying it, half way done with it when suddenly, my mouth got that warm, moist taste. I thought to myself "welp, my monthly is on it's way" because I always get nauseous during that time, except...bllleehhh...I never, EVER actually throw up. Welp, that day I did. Threw all of it back up into that cup, twice! Ugh.

Came back home and had heart burn, constantly, everyday, but paid no attention to it. Memorial Day night I was telling J my stomach hurt. I started rubbing and poking it then screamed "OH MY GOD WHAT IS THIS??? AM I DYING???" I was dead serious. My stomach was hard! He came and felt it and said even though he felt it he was sure I was fine. Hmph, whatev. Sounds like a tumor to me.

Tuesday morning I'm walking to work from the metro but I'm so tired and out of breath. Normally I power up the hill. Tuesday I had to stop and catch my breath, then continue. I get to work and the heartburn is just crazy! I talk to my mom who had been having hallucinations and she says that she hallucinated that she saw me in this dress and I was about 6 months pregnant. She was crying because I was 6 months pregnant and didn't tell her. I had written her out of my life. I was like uhh, yeah, come back down to earth.I tell the bff "hey, I think I'm pregnant". She says "I think you are too". Umm, I'm sorry, wha??? She says the last time she saw me I seemed really different. So I decide that's it, I need to take a test. I was perfectly happy with waiting to see if my period would show up in June, but eh, why not. My co-worker Adrienne and I walk and get one from the neighborhood pharmacy. I get back to the office and head straight to the bathroom. I lie to you not when I say not even 10 seconds after peeing on that stick it said positive. I was like uhhh, what happened to the 120 seconds it's suppose to take. It was then that I decided it was broken, but I also started giggling. When I told Adrienne I thought I was pregnant she asked me how I felt about that. I told her I would probably start giggling lol. I have no clue why, but I just knew it would bubble up out of me. Anyway, I headed to planned parenthood. After 2.5 hours they say "yes. you're pregnant. What would you like to do?" Bwahahaha.

I couldn't stop giggling. I went to the store, bought J a card that was all sweet, then wrote at the bottom "we're pregnant". I hop on the metro after eating my last burger for the next 9 months at burger king, and head off to meet him. I tell him to meet me at the metro for our daily walk. While walking I hand him the card. He reads it all smiling then stops looking like a dear in headlights and says "stop playin! For real???" Bwahahaha. He had to sit down. He called his best friend to tell him he's gonna be a godfather.

I'm telling my mom today. She didn't want any grandchildren yet. Oh well, God had another plan. I get a sonogram tomorrow to find out how far along I am :~)
