Wow, it's been a bit.. not to long but nice. The past week has been quite nice and yet a little nerve racking...
June 15th:
I had been waiting for my cycle to start since the 13th, but not even a sign was seen. Lessie and I decided to get some PG tests just to check. I was going to wait till the 16th, but something told me to go ahead and check. So I did.
Now, Lessie had joked about this for a little while. Jokingly he said "Wouldn't it be awesome if you got pregnant on Fathers Day?" I laughed and agreed, but little did he or I know that we were already pregnant. You see, I tested myself using the NON DIGITAL tests all that week, all of them, ALL of them, came out negative. So I wasn't really worried. But by the 15th I had started to worry, I hadn't started my cycle, I was two days late and I was growing increasingly pained in my upper chest. (my breasts had been tingling and slightly sore that whole week - but that happens on your cycle as well) So I paid little attention, but I did do my self examination as normal. What I found was my breasts were becoming larger and hurt when I would press gently on them. So that afternoon I took the test. Not two minutes later (using a DIGITAL CLEAR BLUE test) it popped up "pregnant".
I came out of the bathroom and tried to hide my smile, I reminded Lessie of his joking about me getting pregnant on fathers day and then handed him the test and said "Happy Fathers Day"! He was shocked and happy and more than anything he was shocked happy!
Fathers Day June 16:
We visited my parents on Fathers day, I had missed my father so much, I was homesick. He had just had his knee surgery done (you can learn more from my mother's blog about that). I had been so worried it made me ill... I know it was just Knee surgery - a surgery less harmful than many others - but I love my father. I may not always show it or act like it, but my dad is the best dad anyone could ever have - and he's MINE! I was scared I would lose him somehow, but I know that fear was unwarranted. Anyway, we went to make a small surprise visit to my dad on Fathers day.
I don't know if he was happy to see us, but I was glad to see him! I'd missed him and mom terribly. That sunday we didn't attend church, we really just kinda talked to my mom and dad. Lessie wanted to take Dad out for Fathers Day and I thought that was a splendid idea. So we budgeted for it and went to Olive Garden. Mom and Dad's favorite restaurant lol. I stuck with the salad and bread sticks as italian food doesn't sit well with me unless it's made by my parents (I don't know why!) But the dressing on the salad began turning my stomach sour so I had a few bread sticks to help ease that which it did and made it tolerable.
Got my dad a giant card - snoopy.
lol you can't lose that card ^_^
The rest of the week:
We had quite a nice week. Peaceful and less stressed than I'd been in a long time. Which usually happens when I see my parents ^^'. Lessie worked hard that week - as he does every week. So we enjoyed each others company and had a really good bonding time.
Weekend:
We rented a few movies - the Hobbit being one of them and Saturday we had a LORD OF THE RINGS movie day. We cut it short on the third movie simply because we didn't know what time we'd be called to pick up Mr. and Mrs. Nixon.
Sunday we enjoyed a nice day, watched the rest of the third LOTR's, then PUSH. Then we decided to go walk around walmart (since it's getting to hot to just enjoy the outdoors here.. without a bike at least.) So we had a good Sunday.
I met a youth pastor, he attends a church down here - I've been looking for a closer church body (not that I'm leaving NEW LIFE, I'm certainly staying with them, but until we can attend again...) I need the fellowship. Lessie has agreed that we could go to the church one of these sundays when we're able too. I hope so.
Well, now you are fully caught up now! Anyway, I have a doctors appointment on July 1st. We'll see how it goes. Chat later.
