4th Nov '07, just another Saturday night. It was one of our best times together. We knew we were in the "danger zone", but kinda-sorta just went for it ;-)
I didn't admit to myself about my missed period even though I was 4 days late. We were about to visit Kings Canyon & Sequoia NP for the Thanksgiving '07 holidays, a break we both desperately needed. There are no words to describe my feelings on those 2 nights in the park. I "knew" I was pregnant, but I wasn't sure how Amit would react if I told him then. I also wanted to be 100% sure with a pregnancy test. Sleep was hard to come. If I did fall asleep, I'd wake up in 2hrs, wide awake, thinking about what's next :-)
Back home, I secretly arranged a disposable cup to be hidden in the bathroom, along with the pregnancy test sticks. 3:30am and I had to pee. I used the cup and the stick, and it was positive :-) I was so excited!! I didn't want to wake Amit up at that time. I finally fell asleep at 4:30am.
On the morning of 25th Nov, I woke up early, did my knee PT exercises, then told Amit I wanted to go shopping for myself at Valley Fair Mall. I never never never go shopping alone, always insist on Amit accompanying me. He was surprised and at the same time thankful that I had finally "grown up" :-) I went to Macy's and bought this cute set of newborn baby clothes. I packed the set in a box & came home. After lunch, I gave it to him. A little surprised, Amit wondered "for me?!" ... I was like .. umm, sort of... open it! As he opened it, I told him "I'm pregnant".
A different mood took over completely. Amit was very excited and happy to hear the news. He confessed he too had his doubts because of my missed period. He also confessed a little later that ever since he moved into the new house, he wanted family :-) These guys are so weird. Here I was, forever eager to hear this thought from him, and here he was, just wouldn't share it with me! We were totally surprised as this was our "first attempt" in the "fertile zone" and we got pregnant :-)
The rest is history... Doctor visits were next. We also had to share the news with close family... We're planning on doing that this week.
