Oh gosh.... Sushee, my DP wants to know what you're doing making me cry early in the morning

With us, I think I had just started to get to the compulsive TCC stage (at only 3 months in!) and I had been charting for 2 months, and this was the first temping month. My temps went up when they should have gone down if I wasn't preggers, so I did a HPT the day after my due date (A Sunday). Which had a very, very faint second line on it after about 20 mins. DP said that means negative (like, what does he know?) and banned me from trying another HPT until 7 days past my "end of period". The next Sat I made brekky and threw up the coffee. While I was in the bathroom throwing up, I thought "why the heck not" and did another HPT which came back two solid, pink, bright lines in less than a minute. So I came out and told DP I was preggers and he didn't want to believe me. I made an appointment with my GP (actually got a locum that day) and I swear, the 3 days until my appointment were some of the longest of my life. I was very, very dissappointed - no more pee required. I think that if I were to do it again, I wouldn't take my POAS or my charts with me. Anyhows, he just gave me my EDD and a referral to an OB and that was the end of that. I told DP and he was very ... reserved (but happy). I don't think either of us wanted to get too happy in case something happened.

At 9 weeks we told my parents over the phone (they're in Brissie) and Dad cried, Mum just discussed if knitting or crocheting would be better (!) and we told DP's Dad the day after. That was the most hillarious part, that I'll never forget. We were in his nursing home, and DP just said - or blurted rather - "Karyn's Pregnant" and there was a horrid silence for about half an hour (even though were were talking about banalities like the weather). Then DP says "It was planned" and his Dad congratulated us.

At 12 weeks we told the rest of the family (still being cautious here!) and his sister was really, really upset that he hadn't told her ... but he'd told his table at dinner cause they all have alzheimers' and can't remember anyway!
