Pregnancy Test

I know this is old news now and the post is in the wrong order...But the moment is still worth posting!

So it was the morning of my moms birthday. This was our third time taking a pregnancy test. “They” say that early morning urine is the best. So Gina, co-worker and dear friend, put the sample on the test and wrapped the test up so no one saw the results. For the next couple hours we all anxiously aw

aited John’s arrival to work from his computer class. As soon as he walked in

the door we all ran to the breakroom to reveal the result of the test. As you can see, we didn’t even let John take his backpack off. We quickly explained what we did and were going to do. Gina had the brilliant idea to video tape it and I thanks to my friend Tiffany I figure out how to add it! Yeah! (enjoy the video below)

Another really fun part of this day is that it was also my Mama's birthday. Feb. 23rd. That night at her birthday party, after all the presents were opened, we said that we had one more present for her. We took everyone in the other room in front of the TV. We plugged in my camera and just pushed play without any warning or explanation. Then when it was over and the adults were cheering and the kids were all confused....I pulled out of my pocket the positive pregnancy test and gave it to the future grandmother of grandchild #12! Happy Birthday Mama!!!!

A little explanation behind the commentary at the end of this video. Prior to getting pregnant, John and I discussed the name Elias for one of our children. We like it and are considering it. We then found out that my sister Debra also likes this name. So, the background is that Debra's youngest daughter is named Kathleen after our mom, but they call her Kate. I've LOVED the name Kate for a couple of years and always thought I would use it, but I never told anyone. But then Debra used it unknowingly and now I can't. So now we have this sister joke going on between us about name stealing. Thus in the video John jokes about now having a baby Elias and then I tell my sister that she can't steal that name =)
