First reactions

I woke up around 5:00 which is only slightly earlier than normal for a Saturday and while laying in bed I was thinking about the sneaking suspicion that had been on my mind the past few days or so. I wasn't particularly convinced I was, in fact, pregnant but I decided to take an HPT (home pregnancy test) ASAP and put my mind at ease so I could relax for the weekend.   As I was brushing my teeth, I didn't think much about it then I glanced down and saw two lines - one more faint than the other. I tore the box apart looking for the instructions until I read a line (bolded and underlined) that said “one line may appear darker than the other”. WHOA. 

I went out to the couch where I did some googling of positive result images confirming the news then it dawned on me: I could NOT tell Rob when he woke up. There are very few times in life where I appreciate being awake hours before my husband, but this was one time I could be thankful. He was in the middle of his board exams and under an incredible amount of stress. Friday's tests went well but he was planning on spending the whole day rotating between studying and relaxing (aka college football). Telling him this life-changing news did not fall under either category and it certainly wouldn't help him focus on tomorrow's final round of tests. I checked some papers for school and had some scrambled eggs before he woke up. It was absolutely impossible to keep the secret! I don't keep anything from him, although he would probably prefer I do sometimes. :)

I felt like I was acting weird all day and being super obvious but Rob was so focused on boards that he didn’t notice. (i.e. refusing to eat a turkey sandwich for lunch) I went for a jog
mid-afternoon which turned into me sitting on a park bench googling like a crazy woman. Later I headed out to do some errands got groceries just to get out of the apartment for a while longer. On my way to Target I was a completely distracted driver and almost got in an accident by turning in front of someone. I also saw a deer run across the intersection at 127 & Pflumm. Talk about a couple of quick wake-up calls! I was gone for quite a while but it worked out for the best because Rob actually got some studying done in a quiet apartment. 

I was feeling a little nauseous all day but the nerves must have had something to do with that because I hadn't noticed a thing until today. Anyway, I kept myself busy all day and didn’t go to be until around 10:00 which is incredibly rare for me!
