The Big News and an Invitation

Here it is: We are pregnant!

Yesterday I got the results from the official bloodtest, and it is positive. We indeed are set to add to our happy brood. Now we just have to wait to find out how many. Yikes!

I took two over the counter pregnancy tests on Friday. Both came out positive, which was a total shock to my system. I had myself completely convinced that it would be negative, not wanting to be hopeful. Disappointment I've learned to deal with. Hope is the bugger. So anyway, I was hesitant to believe the first one. And to tell you the truth, I was kind of hesitant to believe the second one.

Yesterday, as I was buying popcorn and sodas at the summer kid's movie, I got a call from the doctor's office. Cell phones are great, but because of them we also conduct the most private and important business in the most awkward places! Anyway she said, "Well, your number is 615."

"Umm...what does that mean?" For a moment I thought she was giving me yet another case/lab number.

"Well," she continued with a giggle in her voice, "we usually look for a hormone level of 50 or above, and you are at 615."

"Ooookkkaaayyy....does that mean there is a possibility of multiples?"

And that is the question that is cooking in my brain. We should find out in the next couple of weeks. "Dear Lord. I don't want to be greedy. Save the triplets for someone else, PLEASE!"

And now for the invitation:

Mr. Wicke and I are holding our 4th annual July 4th Pancake Breakfast. We'll open the doors at 8:30 and will cook for our friends until 10:30, so come and enjoy! We'd love to see you!
