Blaine and I found out about our second miracle in waiting on Thanksgiving morning. We had only been trying to get pregnant for one month, so I had absolutely no expectations that I was already preganant. I had taken three pregnancy tests the previous week, all of which had been negative. I was getting ready to go to Blaine's parents' house for Thanksgiving dinner. I thought I might want to have a glass of wine with dinner, so it couldn't hurt to take another test just to be sure it was negative before having a drink. Imagine my surprise when the test was postive! Blaine was still in bed asleep at this time, so I gave the test to Evan and asked him to take it to his Daddy. Evan took it to Blaine, but I think he was still too asleep to process what was going on.
It was very difficult to keep the news quiet the rest of the day. At Thanksgiving dinner Corrie and Jon announced their second baby. I wanted to say "Me too!" so many times, but wanted to wait a while, and certainly didn't want to steal Corrie's thunder. Of course it was the beginning of a long holiday weekend, so I had to wait until Monday to even call the doctor's office to make an appointment. What a long weekend.
We asked Evan several times if he would like to be a big brother, and he seems very excited to take on the job! We'll see how this goes...
