When I bought the pregnancy test I was sure it was going to be negative, but I was enjoying the thought of torturing my husband. I just figured my periods were still slightly irregular after nursing our last child.

I took the test in such a nonchalant manner, heck, Kevin was even on the phone. I ran out and held up two fingers, whispering loudly, "It's two lines!"

The fun begins again...

Four Weeks

Along with our taxes being due we ran out to get some folic acid and scope out the vitamins. We've decided not to tell anyone until we're in the third trimester. (Don't laugh that's what we did with family last time!)

Considering the previous ectopics we're a bit nervous. Last time it had all been so recent I felt very sure I'd remember the pain. Now that we're a bit further out I am not so certain. I've got a few days to make up my mind.
