You're going to be a daddy!!! (9/30/08)

BJ came home last night around midnight. I frantically made sure both the dogs had on their special attire. I grabbed the camera and thought it’d be fun to record the event. Dunkel rushed toward the door to greet BJ and Guinners followed. I went around the corner myself to catch him leaning over to read their bandanas. He looked up at me and smiled. I told him, “you’re going to be a daddy!” We hugged and BJ said, “I told you I had a feeling.” I shared that he had hoped his surprise text would be that I was pregnant. He opened up his gift box and giggled at my “sticks.” I told him he needed to keep June 9th free. This prompted him to think about our child’s zodiac sign, which sort of surprised me. He and the baby will both be Gemini’s. We sat on the couch for a bit and I even showed him some baby bedding that I’ve already been checking out. We also reviewed our baby names spread sheet. I think it is going to be a REALLY tough decision!

Today I had a surprise for myself in store. My school secretary buzzed my office and asked if I had a few minutes. I told her I had a couple of minutes and headed up to the office thinking there must be a child in a melt down or something. To my surprise, I was greeted by a dozen red roses with a card that simply read, “I love you!” This did put me in a bit of a predicament as this lead my co-workers to ask the typical questions, “Is it your birthday?”…” Is it your anniversary?” I told them I guessed that it was just because. When I walked past the BD classroom with my roses, the kiddos instantly noticed. One of them was sitting at his desk with his mouth gaping open. Another said, “Mrs. Thomason has a secret admirer.” Their teacher said, “I hope it’s Mr. Thomason.” When I returned later for group, the teacher said, “Are you knocked up?” I was unable to hide it and swore him to secrecy.

Right after school I went for my blood test. My doctor’s office said that my test needed to be over 100. I don’t even know what she was referring to. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow. I’ll take another blood test a week from today and the number needs to have doubled. I guess they’re just making sure that it is a strong pregnancy, or at least that is what they said. The following week I get to have my first ultrasound! Things are so exciting right now!!!
