It was an average day for Jared and I, sitting in the living room watching tv. I picked up the clicker and scrolled down the guide to find that there was nothing good on tv, so I set the clicker down. It took a moment before I realized that I didn't hit the guide button, when Jared snapped, "I hate when you leave it on guide!". All of a sudden I feel tears about to pour down my face when I leave the living room. I find myself in the closet, crying like a baby! After a few minutes I forgot what I was crying about and walked out of the closet extremely confused about what had just happened.

That Saturday at work I am telling Sara about the weird situation from the night before when she suggests that I take a pregnancy test.....???..... If anyone else had given me this advice I would of laugh in their face but Sara?? Nine months pregnant Sara?? I took her advice when I got home. It was the anniversary of our first date, and the day Meghan wrecked her buggie, so my day real couldn't get any crazier! We had plans to go to The Tavern for Miller lite and Jack Daniels, which is suiting see as how that is where and how we spent our first date. When I got home from work I find Jared falling asleep on the sofa (after having to deal with the car drama all day) and decide to sneak upstairs and take a pregnancy test! Three and a half minutes later I am screaming (in my head) in our bathroom, but decide to take another test before I tell Jared. Sure enough...... Positive! At this point I dont know what to do!!! Do I wake him up? Do I wait to tell him for a few days? Do I sneak out of the house to buy some more time? After a few minutes I get my thoughts organized and ruled out waking him so he doesn't get snappy and waiting would of been to hard, with it being our anniversary and me not celebrating with Jack Daniels, my cover would of been blown. Leaving, sneaking out to buy more time! I get in my car and start driving with no real destination in sight. After pulling out of the gate I realize that I am too excited and shouldn't be driving without some plan, so I pull over into the La Quinta parking lot and call Sara. After sharing my news she gives me some ideas on how to tell Jared, so with a destination in sight I head to Barnes and Noble and buy a book on "how to be a daddy" and some wrapping paper. I wrap the book in the car before I get home, with every intension of telling him at dinner. Well that didn't happen....... I made it to the sofa and he had just woken up. I hand him the book knowing that it wasn't any surprise I was giving him something seeing as how it was our "anniversary". He opened it half sleeping and very confused! I said "surprise we're pregnant!" and he responded "Yeah someday." I was in shock that he didn't believe me so I suggested he check the drawer in our bathroom! Shock definitely hit him before excitment! Once he decide to believe me we went to dinner cause mama was hungry;)
