I got up early on the Queen's Birthday Public Holiday and went to pee on the stick while DH was still asleep in bed. The test started turning positive in a few seconds but I waited the full 5 minutes just to be sure - then crawled back in bed - woke DH and gave him the good news. We laid in bed for awhile enjoying the moment then got up and went to the gym as we had originally planned. On the way home we discussed when we would start telling people and decided we couldn't keep the secret. So we called DH's mum first, then told DH's father (we live with him) then I called my dad, my mum, and a good friend in the states before it got too late there. Later that day we called our pastor and his wife, DH's sister and DH's brother and I will NEVER forget listening to my SIL just scream for about 2 minutes straight before bursting into tears. Nor will I forget calling my brother and listening to him say "No way" over and over again and then tell me that he had a big huge grin on his face. A couple of days later I came down with a cold so took a day off work and spent the day on the lounge in my pj's ringing all my friends in America to give them the news! Thank goodness for cheap phone cards!
