Oh look, Two Pink Lines!!!

Hello folks!
So, a quick history here.

December 20th 2012. I'm at the hospital, strapped to a bed in the OR, calm as can be, why? Because my Bloody Gallbladder is finally coming out and it won't cause me issues ever EVER again!

Oh my attacks were not life threatening but they were getting worse and worse, and worse....and..You get the picture. So, they got me a spot and got it out right before the Holidays. 

Given I am a massage therapist, well, I took the full month of January off, so I could rest and heal good, so that when I did come back to work, I wouldn't go strain myself, injure and then be off work for longer, or worse, have to go get something fixed in mah bellay.

January was utter chillax time. I crocheted this sweet ass blanket for my husband, I watched More Netflix than I could stand, and Just, took it easy peasy.

February 2013 comes along, I start work.
I noticed That my breasts were really bugging me each morning, and even at night, but figured oh, The 'bitch' is coming in two weeks, it's normal. Thing is, normally, the boobage pain thing lasts 4 or so days a week before the "Red Army' attacks.
Bah, must be the hormones going weird on me because I'm getting older. BAH!

Now, two weeks into working again, i do notice I am out of breath pretty easy. Oh KAY! So I know I'm fat, DUH, doesn't take Einstein to see that one. But I normally don't struggle for air at work and I don't feel dizzy like that. I brush it off, after all, I just spent over a month on my ass, all that worked were my hands and fingers with my crochet hook!

Hmm February 12, 2013. I went out with my sis in law Lyne(love her to death) and just felt offish. Like I was catching a cold but didn't want to get cold medicine. My sister who I spoke earlier that morning kept barking at me "Go get a pee test!" 
So I caved in and went to get one at the Super mega Dollarama store. All Canadians Love The Dollar store.lol

I get home, I don't really want to pee on the stick, Don't want to see the negative result to be honest. I've been there before, Didn't want to face that. Yup, you guessed it, we've been wanting kids for a while now, but it never happened. No woman who wants a child likes the discouragement of the "Your NOT pregnant' test.

But, I was feeling pretty shitty, so I sat on that mighty throne, peed in a little cup and beep beep, added a few magical yellow drops on that test. Immediately I saw a the test change, and blinked. Is that, a double line??Hmm no, to faint!

So I leave the washroom, grab my cell to call my sister in law, Since I want her to come over, to come and see herself if She sees what I just saw.
You'd swear I was looking for a fricken Lochness Monster or something.
As the phone is ringing, I go to the washroom to wash my hands, look down and freeze.
The two pink lines are SOLID. Like, fuck Casper the ghost line, these are real solid lines.
My sis in law answers with a hello and I swear the poor woman was greeted by "AAHH!!!!!*SOBSOBSOBSNIFFLEAAHHH PREGNANT?!?!"

So she rushes over from her house that is oh so far away from mine(Not 2 min away), comes in and here I am, sobbing like a baby, Thinking "DAMN you Dollar Store for your Prank pee tests this is NOT a nice prank!"

Of course, she's kind of crying, I'm crying, takes me a good 15min to calm down, but Still under shock. I call my sister, who is ALSO pregnant now, she's at work, and jsut starts screaming in the phone and bawling her eyes out like a baby while on the line with me.

You got to see that I'm the eldest of 3. My sister, has a 3 year old Son and is 7 weeks ahead of me in her pregnancy, and my brother who is the youngest has 2 kids of his own.
I've been with my spouse the longest and we never got pregnant until now. So this is like OH MY **** GOSH This is ammaaaaaazing news!!

Of course I'm just 4 weeks along right. But it's my first, and I know things can go wrong in the first trimester, but I'm so happy that I have to call my folks too now. Granted, I called since my sister was so excited she was threatening to tell them herself right away.lol
So, I called, got them both on the line, and warned them "ready for a 5th grandchild?"
Dad screamed, mom did but said the F bomb in her surprised tone. 

Now for hubby...So...Hubby is at work..
Hubby, Who is named Jacques, is a Technician on a WindMil farm. He harvests Wind! shah
No, really, he has an awesome job that he seems to be enjoying and works with some very awesome guys and gal too.

Well, he's at work, far off in the field, where we have No cellular connection. No way to reach him until he goes to the substation or if, I go to work and some one relays a message to him via Radio.

Hmmm radio...*flash idea* My sister in law and myself decide to go to our husband' work office Oh yes, my brother and my husband work together. Awesome all over again.

We get there, tell Super Awesome Tracy the news and what we want to do. Tell him via radio.Well...I can't talk on the air, not allowed so Tracy does it for us.
Long story, poor guy is so under shock form the news, My brother said he spent the next hour with this dumb look on his face and couldn't function right what so ever.

And being that this was done over the work radio ALLLLLL the folks he was working with that day, heard the news so poor Jacques was getting bombarded with congrats LOL And of course, men being men, teased about how his balls finally came threw.
