The Whole Story.......for those of you that didn't figure it out with the previous post!

So every Thursday I go to meet with my church group(if you haven't been to CRHP----you should go- you totally won't regret it!)-

Oh yeah- back to the story-

It's Thursday May 15th and my day has been nothing out of the ordinary. I make my way to the church and as I walk in one of the other ladies approaches and asks me if did myself up for them(which I hadn't)?! So then- through out the evening a few more women tell me how nice I look?! I'm blushing by now and tell everyone "thanks, I got my hair cut last weekend and obviously it was a good move"......so later on in the evening as we are chatting away(remember it is a room full of women so chatting is what we do best- he he) and one of the women chimes in to tell me how nice I look----ok now I really am bright red because I have now had a half dozen of my CRHP sisters compliment me(I was thinking that there must have been an email that I missed that told everyone to lift me up! Then the lady next to her(I will keep her identity secret- but for the sake of the story- I will call her *Marie*) adds "You're pregnant!"
Totally and completely shocked by *Marie's* statement I reply with "I better not be!" and of course all the other women start commenting about how I was glowing and everyone's laughing, etc. etc. and we then move on with the evening and I think nothing more of *Marie's* prediction. That is until I leave.....then it hits me.....*Marie* had commented at one time that she has predicted like 5 pregnancies before and has been right every time! So now I'm a little concerned.....but then I remind myself that it would be WAY to early to tell and this would be the time that *Marie* was wrong! Well, it was still on my mind a week later, so I ended up buying a test.....ok so it was more than one----(keep in mind that I should NOT even think about being pregnant until May 31), so- I proceeded to take one on the 23rd- negative, the 24th- negative, the 25th- negative.....so I go on with life and aside from the horribly vivid nightmares(which I also had with my first two pregnancies)there was NO reason to think I was pregnant....right? Then on Sunday night- one of the neighbor's asks when Brian and I are going to have another baby and we explain that we are done- perfectly happy with one of each and then he says "No- I think you'll have another one- actually I think you're going to have twins". Now I'm thinking "Thank goodness I took all those tests and they were all negative because I definitely couldn't handle twins! So our cookout winds down and we go to bed. Then yesterday morning (around 6am) I woke up from another bad dream and decided that it was to coincidental that I keep having nightmares and got up to take the last pregnancy test that I had......and although the line was faint it was there, instantly! So after keeping my little secret all day yesterday I took the easy way out of telling my husband by letting our kids tell him! While he was gone- I made the shirts and right before bed they put them on.......B*'s reaction was so funny-----I was still in C*'s room getting him ready "for bed" when I hear K* ask B* if he liked her shirt? Then I hear her ask him if he read it(I used her "I'm the big sister shirt" from when C* was born and added the words to make it say "I'm going to be the big sister again!")----then I hear Brian repeatedly saying "What?" "Is this a joke?" By now C* and I are in the hallway and Brian is soaking in C*'s shirt which reads (front)"Dad- Do you think Feb. 7th will be the day?" (back)"Maybe we should let the baby decide!" So B* then started asking if this was an April fools joke and I reply "Is today April 1st?" Finally, I went and got the test and showed B* and then he asked "How did this happen?" So I told him that I would give him his science lesson "after we put the kiddos to bed!"

So are you wondering why I kept *Marie's* identity hidden? Because she is good! Can you imagine how many people would be pounding down her door? She would be predicting pregnancies right and left! I am baffled......for me this proves that there is a God- not only did she tell me I was pregnant before my body knew but this MUST be the reason our house didn't sell! I am so thankful that we didn't downsize as we had no idea our family was going to expand! Well, I need to go finish my laundry and get to bed- hope you enjoyed the story!
