The Big News

So the big news came on August 23 2009. We "planned" this pregnancy so I was waiting for the day I could take a test. In fact I took one far to early and it was negative. I couldn't believe how sad it was to have a negative test when I was so sure it should be positive. I couldn't help think of the the poor couples that went through that month after month. SO Saturday morning Jatovi and I went about our usual plans. We went for our lunch in the park and let Molly-Brown run. On the way home I thought it is time to test again, I just didn't believe the first test. So as soon as we got home I went to CVS and bought a test. I took the test, and it was positive!! I had the kind that gave you a + or - sign, so I felt I needed a digital one. So off to CVS I went again, and bought 3 more. I was at CVS twice in less than 30 minutes. I took all 3 and they all said "pregnant"!! All Jatovi said was"I told you".His reaction was not a jump up and down with excitement type, but really he doesn't get that happy about anything. We then called both of our parents. Mine first and boy they were happy. I took a picture of all the tests and sent it to my mom, but it didn't go through so I had to just tell her. Jatovi gets his calm personality from his mom, so her reaction was low key compared to my parents. But needless to say they were all happy for us.
Really I think I was in shock....me a mom? I don't know if this is a good thing. Jatovi will make a wonderful Father but I am not so sure I will do a good job. I just hope we can balance each other.

History

Well here it goes.....

As mentioned I am a Canadian girl that lives in North Carolina. I moved here in February 2001 for an "adventure". Well I got more than I bargained for...I fell in love!! That's when my life and where I thought it was going changed for ever. There was a time that the though of living here for the rest of my life brought tears to my eyes. You see that's not in the plan. I am a planner and I had not seen this one coming. " Me living in the US" yeah that's not gonna work! Well 8 years later I am still here. Do I still struggle with this...absolutely! But the tears come less often and I do love my life here. My heart will always be in Canada and maybe one day I will move back. You may wonder why we haven't moved back well it's that pros/cons thing. It really does make sense at this point in our life to stay put.

Jatovi and I met in October 2001. We clicked from the beginning. Which is so weird because the night we met ( at a bar) I had had so much to drink I didn't really remember meeting him. Well later that week when he called I was shocked. Well we went out for potato soup that Friday and have been together since. It took us 5 years to finally get married on October 7, 2006.

We have a big family already Jack, Zora, Butter, and our sweet girl Molly Brown. But the best is yet to come ......Baby McDuffie!!
