The New Baby News

Well, I guess the first item of business is to write about when we found out that I was pregnant.
It was a sunday, and I'd been feeling pretty moody for a few days. I had a good feeling that I might be pregnant, so I decided to take a test.
There I was all alone in the bathroom, sitting, and waiting. I had so many thoughts. They mostly were focused on keeping clam. In that moment, I did something that I don't often do except in really extreme times of reflection; I started pep talking myself. Not out loud of course, because that's the only way that I track my sanity. I tried to convince myself that not being pregnant was okay while at the same time telling myself that if I was, everything would work out fine.
As soon as a felt a decent amount of mental equilibrium, I grabbed hold of my sanity, and while clinging to it like a child to his Mother on his first day of school, stood up to take a look and held my breath. I took a short glance at what I thought was a negative test. As I let out the breath that I was holding in, probably for too long, I felt dissappointment set in. Not only was I not pregnant, but I wasted a pregnancy test. Some might think that's a weird thing to think, but hey, that's me.
By this time, I felt my sanity start to slip away and decided that it couldn't hurt to take another look and see if it had changed. Miraculously, I saw two perfect little pink lines that said to me 'Cristina, you're gonna be a Mommy.'
As I sat there with a permanent grin on my face, I tried to think quickly about how to tell Ian, who was just a room away. When I'm excited I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve and those of you who've seen our wedding day pictures are witnesses to that.
I burst out of the bathroom with a big grin on my face. Despite every clue and sign that would suggest that I was pregnant, Ian still asked. I told him he should look for himself. He did and we shared that special moment when we realized that 2 would soon be 3.
We spent the rest of the day thinking of names. No, we haven't come up with anything solid yet and no, I'm not looking for suggestions.
Since we've found out we were pregnant, it's been quite the adventure. Keep reading, and we'll keeping posting!
