Ok...everyone knows Jeopardy. And everyone knows the Jeopardy theme song.....so - go ahead. Start humming it. Out loud. I'm not moving on until you're humming it....doo-DOO-doo-doo-DOO-doo-doo........
Time for the question...or should I say the answer.
I'll take Irony for $500 Alex.
Answer: Steve and Tammi Nowack
Question?? Well, do you have it???
And the Question is: Who is the most fertile couple on the planet?
Yup. We're pregnant. Baby Nowack #3 should be here in July. Above you see preggo tests number 4 and number 5. When I called the dr. a few weeks ago to schedule an appt. this is how the phone conversation went:
"I'd like to schedule an appt. with Dr.----. Oh, and I'm a new patient"
"Ok...and the reason for your appt"
"I'm got myself knocked up"
"Oh, and are you sure?"
"Well....let's see: no period, sore boobs, constant nausea, 5 pregnancy tests...yup, other than a dead rabbit, I'm pretty sure"
Oh. And at the grocery store, apparently they now hide pregnancy tests behind the pharmacist's counter. After I looked for one up and down the aisles for about 10 minutes, I finally walked up to the counter and discreetly asked for a pregnancy test, all the while looking over my shoulder hoping to NOT see anyone I knew - I felt like an underage kid trying to score a pack of smokes as I kept twitching around in anxious anticipation...expecting one of my friends to walk up to me at any moment. This mission was VERY incognito.
Anyway, she showcases like Vanna White an entire 18 foot high shelf with no less than 427 different kinds of pregnancy tests. She smiled with a look of pity as my pupils grew twice their size. Quickly looking over my shoulder again, I fervently said, "Whatever. I don't care. They all look the same. Just give me one"
She proceeded to grab two, and was a little too perky when she exclaimed,
"This one is very reputable, but THIS one comes with THREE in it!" As if she was sharing a secret on the level of national security. Good heavens! THREE?! No!! Indeed I have discovered a treasure trove of HcG hormone predicting magic!
I bought them all and took them home. I took them throughout the next week and EVERY SINGLE ONE was positive. After I finally accepted the fact that yes, I was pregnant, I went back to the same grocery store for prenatal vitamins. After I had scoured the vitamin shelving unit for 13 minutes, I decided to seek help. Ironically, the same person was there.
"Can you help me find the prenatal vitamins?"
"Oh - sure they're right over----" and then she stopped and took a good look at me.
"Ohhhhh" she said, with a knowing smile.
"Yeah....Ohhh. It's me again"
We're still getting used to the idea. Ready or not....the countdown begins. #3 is on its way.

Congratulations! I'm so excited for you. Sounds like I'll be making a trip to Georgia in July!
AWWW! yay! I am so excited for you!
I do have to tell you Aaron and I were going through an old box of notes from grade school, and i of course had several from you. Just want to say i hope you don't have a girl! We were so mean! Talking bad about several other girls in our class and of course each other :) I don't think i ever fully realized that girls are SO evil! Although i don't know if you remember this we wanted to start a business selling best friend shoes (remember the puffy paint!) So good luck! Please keep updates on here of how you are doing! love ya!
YAYAYAYAY!!!!
I'm so glad that the world now knows & I don't have to keep it in!!!!!
Yayaaaaa!!!
Yay! congratulations! thats kinda crazy.. girl maybe? I knew you'd convince him. =0) Congratulations again and again. thats really exciting!
shari- you better get down here before july girl! :)
emily - girls ARE evil...and I was especially terrible. But I suppose puffy paint and some cheap white tennis shoes cures all.
casey - what a fabulous new blog pic you have there. Who DID you have take it?? IT's outstanding dah-ling...simply smashing.
katie- there was no convincing done. Except maybe the two of us trying to convince each other that we won't become completely destitue with three kids to feed on a teacher's salary.
congrats!!
katie m
1) oh my dear heavens. how awsome!!!!
2) I have been so behind on my blogging. And now I feel completely stupid that I had no earthly idea when you called me yesterday. Gosh. I am an idiot. I am so sorry.
3) why the heck didnt you tell me!!!! Casey so gets all the good info first. I am now sitting here pouting.
:) Congrats darling. I am so excited!
katie- thanks. i need your new address/email info. I don't have it....
amy lynn - sorry...casey guessed so he knew before we told him anyway, so don't feel out of the loop. We were really keeping this one to ourselves until we got a little more used to the idea. Which still hasn't happened...but hopefully we're closer.
Man, I'm away from my computer for a day and a whole new person comes on the scene....geez.
I've been there honey. I had absolutely no desire to be preggers again when Mattie was just 13 months old. I had just lost the baby weight and looked fabulous...of course that explains a few things right there...but anyway, we were in the middle of moving to MI and had no health insurance..I was completely ambivalent....for months. I believe the first thing I said to Vin was "I'm so glad you are born...I didn't want to be pregnant." Nice, huh? And he was not an easy baby at all. ...I believe he was about 3 months old before I thought about really accepting that I had BEEN pregnant.
Fast forward 4 years, 10 months...I couldn't imagine life without this guy. It's love every morning and even more love when he's asleep. His charm is nothing short of dangerous. I'm smitten.
I've been there. You can start with this: "It's a baby...it's not cancer."
And then you move on. It's okay to feel what you feel.
don't u pee on those things???
