When we decided to try for #2, we already decided to give this baby the nickname pumpkin. We think it's really adorable
06/14/10 - Today I found out that I am pregnant with our second child. (Pumpkin) We have been trying since about November 2009. I have been so irregular that I didn’t think it was possible that I was pregnant. So I was talking it over with our good friend Elke, and she suggested that we go to the dollar store and pick up a test. I was hesitant at first, but went ahead and picked it up anyway. I hadn’t planned on testing until after work, but my buddy told me I should do it on my lunch break. So there I was in the little bathroom stall, trying to figure out how to use the dollar store test. It was digital, and you had to put the stick in somehow into the machine. It was weird. So after I took the test, I waited for the results. A few minutes later I picked up the test, for sure that I was going to see “Not Pregnant” on the screen. Well to my shock it said “PREGNANT” I couldn’t contain myself. I was SO excited. Of course I went and showed Elke, who was so thrilled. Then I couldn’t sit still. All I wanted to do was be home so I could tell Kevin. (Who didn’t get off work till 10pm) To pass the time, I texted a few of my mommy friends, and posted on our mommy boards. I was in heaven.
It seemed like forever until Kevin was getting home. I had dinner at my moms, and it was SO hard not to spill the beans. But I didn’t. Then I kept thinking…how do I tell Kevin. Then it hit me…take a video of Nathan in his Big Brother tee shirt.

It was perfect. Kevin got home and I said I needed to show him this cute video I took of Nathan. He starts watching, and says, "What does his shirt say" Then he just looked at me and said "OMG R U Pregnant?" I said yes. He just screamed and kept saying "Shut Up, are you serious, Shut up" LOL. It was great. I even showed him the Second test I tool last night (EPT~just to make sure~Lol)

He was in tears last night. He is on top of the world right now. As am I.
I found this crazy though. (I didn’t prompt him or anything) Nathan and I were on the couch before he went to bed, and I said Nathan where is the baby. He then points to my belly, kisses it and says "Good Girl, good good girl" (he doesn’t say boy yet) Wonder if that's a sign??? I was like OMG!!!! It threw me for a loop because I never pointed to my belly. I just told him mom and dad were going to have a baby and that he was going to be a big brother.
