David and I have been trying for baby number 2 for a few months now, but, to put it nicely, my body wasn't cooperating. However, I didn't want to go to Disney, ride thrill rides, and potentially harm a baby, if I was pregnant. So the morning of our trip, I took a pregnancy test. I didn't feel pregnant, and was having no symptoms like with my first, so when I saw only one line by 2 minutes in, I left the test lying, and went to finish packing. Three hours later, I had to potty. That's when I saw the faint second line. My nerves got jittery, and I thought, maybe it's just because I left it too long. So I packed up Sammie (even had to get in the attic to get the infant car seat for her, as David had the other with him at work!), and we went to Wal-Mart to buy another test. I got home, took it as soon as I was "ready," and yep, two more lines.
I called David and made up a story to get him home from work. I knew I'd have to tell Paige, and I sure didn't want to tell anyone other than him first. So he raced home on his lunch break. I greeted him at the door with the two tests. He washed up, grabbed me up, and kissed me. Then he called his mom and I called mine. So... no thrill rides for me on this trip...
Paige arrived at our house at 3:30pm, while I was still was getting all the last minute stuff together. She kept Sammie occupied, along with the dogs, while I threw a few other things in the trunk. David left work on time (first time in over a month, but he'd been threatened that I'd leave him if he was late!), drove straight home and got ready to go. We'd planned to leave at 5:00, and were on the road at 4:36.
We'd planned to drive through Nashville before stopping for dinner, as it was still too early to eat. We got stuck in rush-hour traffic, and it took us over two hours just to get to Murfreesboro (usually right about an hour drive). David was tired of riding the clutch, so we stopped there for dinner at Zaxby's. We all had tenders and fries and were back in the car around 8:00. Sammie was asleep before we got back on the interstate.
