Best Laid Plans and Such

So, I decided to get off the birth control pill right before Jason had to leave.  He only had a week left here, and I figured "what are the odds I'll get pregnant in one week, after being on the pill for almost SEVEN YEARS?"  Apparently the odds are pretty high.. Either that, or God has an excellent sense of humor.

So there I was, husband gone for just two weeks, and I was pregnant..  Which meant I was right about two weeks pregnant!  Crazy!  I went on to the clinic to get a test done there just to be sure, and yep, here comes baby!

I told Jason the next day.  His response was so much calmer than I expected.  We had sort of been joking around about Baby Fred for the few weeks before he was set to leave, but neither of us were serious.  Then, I guess combined with the fact that he knew I wasn't on the pill, we kept joking about it.  Then when I started getting odd cramps a full 3 days before I was due to start my period, I told him something was up.  So when I told him, he said he had been expecting it all week.. So weird!

We've told the rest of our family, and everybody is so excited.  I am very early right now.. Only 5 weeks.



Jason is very happy, and so am I.  Baby Fred was a complete shock, but a blessing!  I can't wait to find out if it's a boy or girl and all that good stuff!
