For Pregnancy #2 I took a little blue stuffed bear and had him hold the pregnancy test...and under it a card with the explanation. I put that on the dinner table. Not even looking at the card he caught on right away...but there was a lot of exclamations like "Really!?" "Wow, I can't believe it!"

Congratulations Angela!

Before I conceived this little one a friend picked up six pregnancy tests from the Dollar Store for me. I used five of them, before the test was positive. I was thankful that the five tests combined had only cost $5, plus tax. In the past, we were paying over $7 for a single test.

Thank you everyone! I couldn't sleep...too much . So I decided to come to my favorite forum! It's so nice to know that there are people who know that all children are blessings from God!
I'm really still in a shock over this. I'm not sure why, perhaps I am just overwhelmed by the thought of five children. I truly want to feel happy about this, but mostly I feel panicked. Seems quite illogical since this little one won't arrive right away!

Anyway, thanks for the kind words & the funny stories!

Angela
Who really needs to come up with a siggie.

Congratulations, Angela! You will do great and many prayers for a happy and healthy pregnancy!!!

And as a side note, which pregnancy tests do you ladies recommend? Which ones detect pregnancy the earliest? Just curious...

First Response. I'll ask so Tim doesn't have have to: are you in the market for a pregnancy test?

Congratulations, Angela!!!

I'm never creative ... my husband usually buys the test,
as he did this week (I always tell him to get at least a double pack.)

Ours was negative, though ....

Blessings to you, and know that God will see you through whatever He allows to happen!

The only one I was creative with was #5.

On Easter Sunday I handed dh a Christmas gift bag with the positive test stick wrapped inside the tissue paper.

Why Christmas gift bag on Easter Sunday? She was due on Christmas Eve...born on Dec. 20th.

Congratulations -- great news!

And five is a wonderful number of children. (Personally, I am assuming six will be even better! )
