So...here we are again. :)

January 2nd: After several days of taking pregnancy tests in the morning, all of which were negative, I thought for sure I was not pregnant this month. That morning, like the others before it that week, I woke up and took a pregnancy test. I waited the specified time, and it appeared that there was a very faint second line on the test. By very faint, I mean VERY faint! I thought I was psyching myself out, wanting it to be positive, and wishfully seeing a second line. I retested later that day, it it appeared to be negative. Threw tests away. I had taken a few of these cheap, internet purchased pregnancy tests in the days previous and they were all negative, but left a suspicious faint line after the 5 minute waiting period.

January 3rd, 11:24am: Yes, we slept in that morning. I woke up, and quickly ran to the bathroom. I took another one of those cheap internet pregnancy tests, and this time I saw a very VERY faint line appear within the 5 minute waiting time. I told Colt we should probably get some Clear Blue Digital tests. You know, the ones that say "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant" so there would be no confusion. At this point, I was still thinking that it was negative since I had seen so many suspicious second lines on the other tests that had all turned out to be negative. That morning was busy for us. Colt left to make a CVS run for the pregnancy tests, and then made a stop at the bank. We had a TV repair man on the way to our house that was supposed to give us a 30 minute warning, but ended up calling to say he was coming down the street to our house. Colt returned just in time to help me frantically pick up Cash's toys that were scattered all over the living room floor. He laid the CVS bag down on the counter, and I sneakily picked it up, and walked into the bathroom. With Cash on one hip, I dipped the pregnancy test in the same "sample" I had used that morning. The little hourglass popped up and started blinking, blinking, blinking. I tried to play it cool, so I left it on the counter, and helped Colt pick up some more around the house. A few seconds later I returned to the bathroom, and there it was. PREGNANT!

Here we go again!

I was so excited to be expecting again, but still rushing around the house to prepare for the TV repair man's arrival. I walked out of the bathroom with the test, and smiled at Colt. "Its positive?" "YEP!" "ALRIIIGHT!!!!" *Smooch*. SO EXCITED!

We always knew we wanted kids (in the plural), and are really happy that Cash and his little brother or sister will be close in age.

So, stay tuned for more Clark Family Updates as we expand (or as I expand)!
