The results are in, and we have...PREGNANT! This week I will be 14 weeks and I have been feeling great. We found out after the period that was going to come, no doubt about it... but then it didn't, and that was the third week of April. For the previous 3 months I had "for sure pregnant" symtoms that never turned out, and this month everything was good, and I really didn't want a baby in December anyway. Well, we are going to and it will definitely be a Christmas one. It's due date is actually what my due date was (December 22) but I was born on the 15th. Hopefully that's the case here, but I won't get my hopes up.
The weekend we found out was rather interesting. My mom was visiting and it was Stake Conference, which turned out to be a good thing. Duke and I had gone to the adult session and then ran to the store to get a test before Mom came and we'd see how long we could keep it from her. While we were at the store Duke was pacing up and down the aisles and kept saying things like, "What have we done," and, "I don't think I should have done that..." It was pretty funny, and I don't think I had ever seen him so scared.
The next morning I got up, Duke was already up and probably had already eaten, I went into the bathroom did my thing and the instant I flushed the toilet Duke was down at my side wanting to see the results. I hadn't even turned around to see myself. Lo and behold, there it was...two distinct lines blaring in our faces.
The rest of the day was a little bit of a shock, mostly for Duke. In church he kept looking at me randomly saying, "Are you sure we're ready for this," "I'm so scared," and "Are we surrounded by crying babies and noisy kids, or is it just me?" It took about a week until he was coming up with names and guaranteeing it would be a boy. We were in RC Willey and Transformers was all over the screens so we decided to call our "little boy" Optimus, after Optimus Prime... just for now... but I definitely like calling our baby that rather than "it". So we are now ready, or as "ready" as we will be, for our new little addition in December!!

congratulations!!! I'm just about 6 weeks behind you, due the end of January :) That'll be 2 more great grandkids for Grandma and Grandpa Searle...
YEAH!!! I am so excited for you. It is such a fun experience! After you have the baby, look at Duke's face. I have the look on Nate's face plastered in my memory for life. It was PRICELESS!
Congratulations! I'm so excited for you :-) When are you coming back to Boise? I can't wait to see how cute you are pregnant!
I just found your blog Nicole! This is such a great story, thanks for sharing! I love it when Duke is pacing up and down the aisle saying, "What have we done," and "I don't think I should have done that." So funny!
Matt was petrified about us talking about having a baby, but then the minute I told him, he was all about becoming an even more amazing man and father. I am so excited for you and your family!
