Good Lord. . . .

I'm pregnant.....4 pregnancy tests and 2 hours later I am out of denial. . . OH MY GOD!
It has been impossible to calm my nerves and I keep laughing hysterically. I guess that big move back home will have to be put on hold.....I can't even think straight!

You should have told your man to strap it up before he slapped it up .

Congratulations.

And laughing hysterically...wonder how your partner is reacting to that

Well...I sat here staring at the screen trying to think of the best way to respond, and I'm drawing a blank. Thinking of you, though.

Congratulations!

I've looked at this from both sides, planned and surprised -- and I wouldn't change a thing.

Thanks all for the comments! It is indeed good news, it was just such a shock and still is. We had talked about trying when things slowed down, but had changed our minds. I guess nature decided differently.
This is my first so I have no clue what's going on =) I have been told by my sister that there is no need to tell anyone until I am 13 weeks in as I have a greater possibility of miscarriage at this point...not the response I was expecting!
My hubby is taking it very well. I think he is more out of it than me. But it really is good news for us. It is just the weirdest feeling. Suddenly I am looking at the entire world differently. I can't imagine what to expect in the months to come.

Get 'What to Expect When You're Expecting'. It's a really good book, helpful and I've referred to it a lot through 2 pregnancies.

And congratulations! Nope, life does not always wait till we're ready.

Congratulations, SC!

I'll add The Mother's Almanac by Marguerite Kelly and Elia Parsons to Foxee's recommendation.

Awesome book. Much better than asking your mother. Of course, that won't stop her from telling you what to do.
