I'm pregnant?

I've waited so long to say I'M PREGNANT! It still doesn't seem totally real, especially for Aaron because his first reaction was, really? Let me try to retell the last several days...it all goes back to my spring break trip to Abilene. I was feeling sick, and I didn't sleep well last Thursday night because of the nauseous feeling. So, I woke up Friday (at Christi's house) and decided to e-mail my nurse. She responded immediately telling me to take a home test, which I didn't think I was supposed to do. At about 7:30am, I went to Wal-Mart, which happens to be a minute from their house, I got back and took it, and there was a faint line...I mean, TWO lines. Christi and I spent the day running around Abilene, which is where I got the bandana for Rudy and ironed on the "big brother" letters. I got home before dinner on Friday, and took a picture of Rudy with his new bandana. That's how I told Aaron, and we also told our parents Friday night. Of-course I took another test on Saturday morning, which was much darker, and we told some more family on Saturday. Sunday was the blood test. They said anything over 5 was good, and my hcg level was 232. I'm waiting to hear what my results from today's test will be, but the nurse who took my blood said, wow, you might be having more than one. Since I'm 4 weeks right now, we'll go for our first sonogram in 2 weeks. Then we'll be able to hear the heartbeat or heartbeats! We want to thank everybody again for all of your comments, love, and support. Y'all are the best :)
