Is 13 a lucky number?

My nephew Cameron was born on the 13th and our good friend has the number 13 as a tattoo, as it is an important number to her.  On the 13th of August we were able to see our little pea's heartbeat for the first time.  158 beats per minute to be exact.  The ultrasound took place due to worrisome circumstances; however, the doctor reassured us that everything looked okay.  I will be more than happy once I reach 12 weeks because then I feel I will finally be able to relax during this joyous time.

Additionally, once we arrived home from the ultrasound we were surprised to find the "Olympic Heights Yard of the Month" sign on our front lawn.  I have been waiting 5 years to receive this award.  So as you see, so far 13 has been a positive number. Should they reconsider adding the number 13 back to the elevator buttons?

It's Positive!

We just received a positive result on our pregnancy test!  I was in Alabama welcoming the arrival of my nephew, Cameron, when I decided I needed to take the test.  It was digital so there was no denying the result.  I then took a picture of the test so that I could show Marshall when I got home.

It was a late arrival home.  Delta Airlines is notorious for "mechanical issues" and overbooking, but at least I got a flight voucher out of the delay.  Marshall was sick with a cold and I was already suffering from slight nausea, headaches, and fatigue.  We got home around 10:00 pm and I told him that I knew he didn't feel well but I had a picture that I really wanted to show him.  At that time I displayed the photo of the test that said "pregnant."  He was in utter shock as this was the last thing that he thought I would be showing him.  The following day Marshall called to tell me that his fortune inside his cookie at lunch stated "Children will be an important part of your future." This is a great surprise and we are looking forward to our Aries baby.
