boy oh boy! :) all this talk about "its hard to get pregnant" is a bunch of b-o-l-o-g-n-a in our case. i went off birth control pretty early because it was making me looney-bin crazy. literally. i hate birth control. as soon as I went off of it i felt back to my old self. Cardon was happy too :) so we had the mentality of whatever happens happens because it takes a while to get pregnant, right? errr. wrong! it can happen pretty fast actually. in fact, I think Cardon and I just held hands and I got pregnant. but we wouldn't have it any other way! in retrospect i'm glad birth control made me crazy, i'm glad we decided to throw it away, because now we are expecting our baby boy and we are beyond thrilled!! 

Let's go back to January/February-ish when I found out I was pregnant...I took the pregnancy test at home after work and stared at it on the counter haha. Didn't take long at all to see those two blue lines...POSITIVE! all sorts of emotions hit me at once. haha. 

and I immediately thought "how am i going to tell Cardon?" so i googled "ways to tell your husband you're pregnant" and everything that came up was either dumb or way too extravagant! like make a t-shirt and wear it when he comes home saying "you're going to be a dad!" yeah...i didn't have time for that. so I decided to just put the pregnancy test on the table and wait for him to see it. Now you have to know Cardon... love him to pieces but he is not the most observant fella :) After a good solid 10 minutes of him being home (which felt like an eternity) I knew he wasn't going to notice it unless I made it completely obvious. So i asked Cardon to fill up my glass of water which was right by the test. He did. and nothing. I asked him to turn on the lamp which again was right by the test. He did. and again nothing. So i asked him a THIRD TIME to go back to the table and hand me my book. Finally! He saw the test and with a huge grin said "what does this mean??!" i said "its positive!" Which cued instant excitement and numerous phone calls to family.
