I Really Don't Know What to Think Tuesday, February 05, 2008
I am overjoyed, don't get me wrong. However, so many thoughts are going through my head. I REALLY did not expect this. We had sex 1 time which was 6 days after my last period. This is about 8 days before I should have ovulated. I didn't think it would happen, but it did.
He's going to be upset. I have no idea how to even tell him. I am waiting 2 weeks though just to be certain. I am 100% sure I am pregnant. The test lit up positive within 15 seconds and was BRIGHT. No question. Also, I feel like I could sleep forever and not mind. I am exhausted. However, I still have a high chance of miscarrying. I should tell him now, shouldn't I? I shouldn't wait, should I? I don't know.
I am almost 5 weeks along. I don't feel much different except "up top" and really tired. I have wanted this for so long I can't believe it's happening.
I told my oldest sister Dawn. She is thrilled. I have told the two girls that I work with. They are thrilled.
On Monday, I took the test at 11:30am. (about) At noon they fired the girl that had replaced me. How crazy is that? Today I asked for my job back (full time). Get this: My boss was very happy! She said I could come back no problem and she wouldn't even worry about hiring someone else. Then she asked me why the sudden change. I said, "well things happen in life that are a bit crazy." And she said, "Are you pregnant?" I said yes. And SHE TEARED UP! She was THRILLED! I couldn't believe it! We did a short little happy dance and she told me she would get my insurance papers started.
I work for the best management company in the world.
I wanted to give you fave's an update. I am really happy. I am. Scared... and happy. I really hope I don't miscarry. It's still so early that I can't get too excited. I know this. I am just having a hard time.
Oh, and I am not dropping out of school. I am finishing this semester. I plan on taking at least one class in the summer. Then after that I don't know. Probably take a year off, and go back and finish up.
So I guess that's, that.

I think you should tell him - and very, very soon. He's a part of this no matter what and he'll need some time to get his head wrapped around the fact that you're pregnant.
I can't help but smile though, I'm very happy for you Shannon :-) I hope everything goes nice and smooth with the pregnancy, with C, everything.

You know C best but I would think it would be best if you spoke to him in person. This is a very big event in both of your lives and no matter what happens in your futures, you both will always have a tie because of this child.
Katie's mom told me she was terrified to tell me she was pregnant. I don't know why she was so scared, she just said she was. I remember she told me while I was at work (a manager of a Pizza Hut) and I was completely floored. I wasn't angry but I was nervous and scared.
Being a parent is a huge responsibility. I don't mean to add to your stress by saying that, I'm just stating something you already know. Being a parent is also incredibly rewarding - this is something I think you are fully aware of and have craved for a long time.
Anyway, yeah, I think you should talk to C in person very soon. Preferably at a time and place where both of you have no other demands on your time or attention. (ie, not at work!)
He may or may not want to talk to you about the situation when you tell him. He might just want to go home and be alone for a while. I think most of us guys tend to be that way - we want to be alone to process things.
