Guess What?

I was slumbering as only one does on an early holiday morning - deeply. I groggily realized that Jooae was standing over me waving some contraption in the air and being all giddy-like. Before I was fully with it, she was declaring that she was pregnant. I realized the contraption was a pregnancy test (which, if you know how they work, realize it was kind of gross to be waving around). Now, you have to understand my frame of mind to get the full picture. As mentioned in my previous post, we had been working hard at getting pregnant since December. Jooae had thought a couple of times that she was pregnant and so had gone through a number of pregnancy tests already. Of course, in our excitement at the possibility, we were really bending their design ramifications by testing early (that and they were the cheap versions you could by at WINCO - West Coast people you know what I am talking about). So you can imagine the hint of skepticism at the results - that and getting my sleepy eyes to figure out if it was a blue plus or what.

After getting into the light and confirming the results, I literally did not know what to think. We had been trying to get to this point and were disappointed each time we didn’t. Now that there was the reality, I was dumbfounded - now what? But the coolest thing was to look into my Jooae’s face and see the joy on it (which was a huge change from when we went to bed and she was grieving over her first traffic ticket received that night from a not very nice police officer). Wow, we are going to be parent’s. Happy Memorial Day (can you say that?)!
