After three months of trying and subsequent disappointment, I can now say, "We're Pregnant!" We found out this weekend while away at the beach. Its been on my mind, counting the days until we could take the test and since I think I'm on a 31 day cycle, that meant not until Monday, July 4th. However, while touring Newport on Sunday, we found a Dollar Tree and stopped in to by a test and some baby wipes. Trying to be funny, the clerk said, "you know, sometimes the results of this (the test) can keep you from needing these (wipes)." I guess the huge grin on my face wasn't big enough for him to see that it was a very much PLANNED and even more WANTED pregnancy!
Anyway, we were going to wait until the morning to take the test, but in true Kaiser tradition, we couldn't wait and took it the evening before, after we put the girls down. We waited the 3 agonizing minutes with the test high on a shelf so we couldn't peak and after the time was up, I let Jonathan do the favor, begging him not to joke with me. When we saw the two pink lines, we hugged and cried together, woke up the girls and told Adaya she was going to be a big sister and Chloe would have another little sibling. Then we called our family. Tracy, first, who was in Canada so had to find out from Facebook, even though I promised her she wouldn't. What could I do? Internationally charges! Then Jim, then Papa, Grandma Cheryl, Grandma and Grandpa Kaiser and finally Grandma Beka. Chloe got to tell all the grandparents, saying "Mamma's gonna have another baby!" It was so exciting for everyone.
After that, we posted it on Facebook and have been receiving so much love and congratulations. Most of our friends are done having kids now, so this might be my first pregnancy where no one else close to us is pregnant too. Hmmm, maybe we can start a trend for all our friends with only two???
