I’d done it before of course but, for the first time ever, I wasn’t nervous. I was actually… excited. I even went to the extent of recording a 45 second video of it happening on my camera and took several pictures of the finished product to make sure I had the right lighting and as little glare as possible. The photo needed to be clear enough for the card I was making. Fortunately, the shot came out okay.
The outside of my card read “10, 9, 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1…” and when Jim opened it up it said: “ready or not HERE I COME” with the double-lined pregnancy test pic taped to the left. Yeah, he was pretty surprised. Just stared at it for a bit then looked at me with wide eyes.
:)
So there you have it – the new news in the family! We’re officially due on 6/28/09 (I'm 10.5 weeks along) and we go to hear the heartbeat for the first time on Jim’s birthday, 12/15.
I feel, in order, tired, hungry and cold all of the time. Physically I’m really good 95% of the time and the other 5% I'm a little car sick, have stomach cramping, or feel a bit lightheaded. I’ll take it though- nothing to complain about!

Hooray! Congratulations! So excited for you guys. As long as you don't deliver June 11-14, I vow to NOT be on vacation this time and to take care of you when you deliver him/her!
Congratulations, Karen and Jim!

Karen and Jim (and Nic) CONGRATULATIONS!! What a fantastic Christmas present. I hope you feel well enough during the holidays. Best of luck! Maybe someday we'll meet BOTH of your little ones ;)
martha totally thinks like i do...i was very much amused by the "I even went to the extent of recording a 45 second video of it happening on my camera and took several pictures"
....and of course....CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
:) Why couldn't you have timed this better? Then our kids would be the same age. :P HAHA.
Okay, so they'll be about 6 months apart. I can live with that. So I guess it better be a boy then.
Can't wait to see you get fat all over again while I start to get skinny. :P *hugs*
I'm sooooo excited. Congrats to you both and I can't wait to see pics of the future little one!
Wow, that's awesome! Congrats!
Congrats - we are so excited for you two (or 4)!
As for the 45 second thing - I don't want to brag - but I can cut that time in half! :)
Hooray! What wonderful news!!!
Haha - so in about 11 weeks I'll have to have burnt pizza again, right? :) :) :)
I am so happy for you! Congratulations.
:-) Congrats dear. :-)
