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.

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best.   So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System.     This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst...

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me.   "$61,000" she said.   I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...

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...
