Happy JournalUnfortunately, I have to write a happy & a sad journal today.  But I'm definately starting with the happy one because--I'M PREGNANT!  I'm still in shock.  I don't even know what to say.  I feel like doing ballet leaps around the room, but I'm too exhausted because of last night.  I love all of you so much, & I hope you are all pregnant along with me SOON!Sad JournalLast night my husband woke me up to yell at me because I forgot to wash his underwear (plus the house is a mess).  I was so busy with that big dinner yesterday, my family got put on hold.  He was telling me what a bad mother I am & I cried myself to sleep (not that I got much sleep).  Then I woke up this morning & cried some more.  For anyone who knows me & what is most important to me, you know that telling me that I am "just like my mother" is the absolute worst thing anyone could say, especially my husband.  So he didn't even go with me to get the test results.  I just sat there & cried in the office because I was so happy, but sad that we had ruined this special moment in time.  I'm going to be gone from DS until Sunday.  I've got to get this house put back together & my husband is really resenting my spending time here.  Thanks for letting me vent.  I appreciate so much the support you have always given me.  I'll ttyl!

No, Nancy, you never say the wrong thing! It was just what I needed to hear. The nurse at the OB/GYN\'s office this morning knows me because I\'ve been going there for almost 9 years now (for pap smears & one pregnancy). She told me I should tell my husband to get his head out of his butt. I thought that was funny. :) I\'m feeling better as time passes & the reality sets in...& as we\'ve been calling family to tell them the news. I know he\'s happy. He\'s under tremendous stress right now, & I think adding a child to the family adds to it when he is the provider. I do need to do better, but I know he\'s WRONG. I think I\'m a great mom. Love you all! (p.s. I wanted to sneak back while my husband was otherwise involved...)

Yea, I can\'t tell you how good it is to hear a success story. I\'m so sorry your moment in finding out was ruined, it would have been so much better not to have this cloud over you that day. I do think that in time you will just remember the happiness in finding out that this precious life was on the way and be able to forget the bad. Again I am so happy for you, I hope that this note finds you doing well. Blessings to you and your growing family.
