Starting a family!

I am sure that you may have heard by now...WE ARE HAVING A BABY! TJ and I found out on the same day that Casey, TJ's sister, had her son - April 1st. He was born a little after 3:30 that morning, and we had all only had a few hours of sleep. So naturally, I thought that me feeling tired was a result to the lack of sleep, and from the hours spent at the office from the end of the month.
However, that evening, I had the inclination to make sure...and the test was positive!!! I screamed for TJ and made sure that I was reading the test correctly - it was digital and said "YES+," so there was not much room for error, lol.
TJ and I were headed to my mother's house, so I wrapped the test and handed it to her. She did not have her glasses on, so she immediately thought it was a candy bar, and tried to open it. TJ and I flew out of our chairs and stopped her. We shouted that we are pregnant, and she started crying because she was so happy! We were a bit disappointed, because my father was getting home late that evening from work. We were able to tell him the next day, and he was excited, too!
We told TJ's family that Sunday. We waited a bit, because we wanted his sister to get settled in. We just could not wait any longer. We are extremely happy to be 'in the family way,' as TJ's Papa would say. :)


Casey & Shane with our beautiful new nephew. He was definitely worth waiting up for!!!


At my mother's house, after finding out. Some April Fool's!! Ha!


This is how I confirmed to TJ that the test was positive with a second test. Since the first was positive, and it was 'April Fool's Day,' I wanted to confirm it, fearing that the supersticion traveled all the way to digital technology.
