Plus One

Cooper hit his ear on the pantry racks this morning, and totally has a crazy bruise on his ear now. Then, his diaper fell off, under his pajamas, and there was poop. All over. So it was time for a bath. At least the morning started out on a happier note than that. Happier= baby in the tummy.

Yup. We've been trying for a couple months. I was starting to think that my weight was really affecting my fertility or something. I thought that if it didn't happen this time, then I should really really try to loose a few lbs., and maybe it would help. Well, I guess that is out of the question. Although, I think I will try to keep loosing a little weight during the first trimester. I don't look forward to gaining weight on top of what I already have. I'm aiming for low lbs. with this pregnancy. Carter has been asking me all week, "Have you started yet?" As in my period. Yesterday he was off for Presidents Day, and while we ran errands, he wanted to get a pregnancy test. I kind of wanted to wait a few more days. But he didn't. Did you know that the Dollar Tree sells pregnancy tests? Yes they do. I get weird about buying them at the store because I'm terrified that I'll see someone I know or heaven forbid my Mother. So the Dollar Tree it was. It said the best time to do it was in the morning, so at 7:15 this morning, I took the test. And texted Carter the results. He called saying, "Are you pregnant?". Yeah. "You can't tell me like that!" Haha. I wanted to send him a picture. He's excited and has been that way for like a week. Since Lesli made a blog during her pregnancy and I loved reading it, I wanted to do it the next time I got pregnant. I've never been good about writing things down while pregnant, so maybe this will be better for me.

And I'm not gonna lie, I really hope that someone else (really anyone) gets pregnant at the same time as me. I want to share pregnancy with someone for once. So, ladies, secretly I'm hoping your husbands will "knock your trash up", as your brother would say. Just cuz I want some company.

So, now I guess we really need that bigger car.

Oh, and if your wondering about the title of the blog, Hybrid 3.0, I've had that in my head forever. Back before we even started trying, but were talking about it, I would tell Carter that I wanted a little hybrid of Savannah and Cooper. Since they look so different, how cool would it be to have a mixture of them both? So either a blue eyed, brown hair or blonde hair, brown eyed. Although, I'm still holding out hope that we'll get one with green eyes. Of course, we'll take healthy over anything.

As of right now, I guess my due date is October 27th, 2011. That's around the same time Savannah's due date was.

I have to admit too, that I was a little skeptical at first about the Dollar Store pregnancy test. Will it be correct? As I expressed this to Carter he said something along the lines of, "Hey, remember, Dr. Jack Shepherd said those things are pretty accurate".
