Okay, here's today's positive test. I apologize in advance. I'm going to be testing every day through this Friday, so you'll probably keep seeing me post pics of my pregnancy tests. I was quite impressed with this morning's dark line and how quickly it appeared. Way to multiply exponentially, hCG!

It's driving me nuts not being able to tell our friends yet! Well, we could tell our friends because I'm absolutely sure that I'm pregnant.....but we were thinking of maybe waiting for a couple weeks before announcing it at church. When people ask how far along I am, it would be nice to be able to say "a month" or "5 weeks" instead of "between 2 & 3 weeks". I guess it doesn't really matter. I'll probably just let DH make that decision.

His big idea about how to break the news to our pals at church is to raise his hand when the preacher asks if there are any prayer requests (our prankster preacher would be in on the joke as well).....then DH would proceed to announce to the congregation that "the doctors" are trying to speak something on me by saying that a "growth" has been found in my abdomen. Then he'll go on to ask if they can join him in prayer for the "growth". I'm not sure exactly how he is planning on turning it around so that everyone finally realizes at the end of his announcement that the "growth" he speaks of is actually a baby.

My concern is that some people just won't get it and they'll end up thinking that I really do have a medical problem IN ADDITION TO being pregnant. They won't get that he was just trying to play a rotten joke and surprise everyone. Don't get me wrong, there are probably some people that will catch on and chuckle when they realize what DH is saying.....but I just think it would be mean to play with people's emotions like that (even if our church is pretty laid back and should expect such foolery out of my DH by now). I think I'm going to try to talk him into making some other clever announcement.....maybe one that doesn't have so much potential to backfire.
