SUYL - How did you tell your husband/family you were pregnant?

I kept this pregnancy test because I couldn't bring myself to throw it away!! It was the scariest moment of my life to date, when I saw that positive test. But back up, I will tell you the story, because Kelly's Corner has asked me to...

We found out we were pregnant very soon after we were married. Very, very soon. One day, I told Jason that I thought I might be pregnant, but it also could just be the stress of everything that had been going on, so I would take a test just to be sure. He was going to get his hair cut, so I said I would just take a test to see the negative result so I could feel better and move on.

I ran up to Kroger and got some generic tests. There were two in the box. I got home and took one test. (That would be the test you see above). There is was, clear as day. Pregnant. Umm..... I took the second test. Positive. Oh gees.

When Jason came home, I said, "can you please go to the bathroom and look on the counter?" He said, "why?" I said, "just go look." He went in and said, "WHAT???" I said, "yep." He asked me which brand I used and I told him just the generic brand. He insisted it was cheap and couldn't be right, so he went and got two more that were a brand name. I took them both and sure enough, positive. I took a total of 6 in the first week, just out of shock and disbelief!!

I was really nervous to tell my parents for some reason, as if I was 16 and still in high school and in trouble. I wanted to do some cutesie way, but opted to just come right out with it. And for some reason, my parents are just way too perceptive. I told my dad first and the second I said, "- have something to tell you..." He said, "are you pregnant?" Then he hugged me. My mom said the exact same thing, "are you pregnant? When are you due?" My parents are never really the type to show tons of excitement, so even though they were happy they were also nervous for us. But it still was a moment I will neber forget.

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this!  I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head.   As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee.   I can't believe I just said that.   It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

Just a little bathroom project....

Raise your hand if this is what your bathroom looks like after every round of baths at your house????
