When I found out we were expecting Elyse, we had been trying for about 14 months. It was a long and emotionally trying time, as I'm sure some of you have experienced. I had irregular cycles, and I wasn't temping or anything, (didn't know a whole lot about my body at all, really.) so I never knew whether I was late or just having a longer cycle. There were a lot of BFN's and tears. After a week or so of feeling just a little different, I decided to try one more test. DH was at work so I was alone when I did it, and I just about passed out at the positive result! I couldn't believe it. I wanted to call DH, but didn't really want to tell him over the phone, plus he was working with his dad, and I wanted to tell him alone. So I walked up-town and bought a soother (dummy?) and wrapped it up for him. When he got home, I brought it to him at the door. He said "Oh, you found my wedding ring!" and I said, "No, open it." (wedding ring turned up later, for those who were worried. ) He opened it and looked at it for a minute and looked at me, and said "Are you pregnant!?" And he cried. He thought it was never going to happen for us, and he was so happy. (Like Sushee's husband, he is 6'4", huge guy, not very emotional, normally.) It's a great memory for us.
