This morning (Iron Bowl Day) we had our usual breakfast at Cracker Barrel with Paw Paw, only Paw Paw was sick and couldn't make it, so it was Clint, Me, Uncle Alan and Aunt Sheila and Leah and Tracey and Mom and Dad. We were all decked out in our team shirts, Auburn of course, EXCEPT for Mom - only UA fan there – well besides Dad, but he very rarely wears team colors and though leans toward Alabama, he's really interested in both teams.
Mom not even giving the waitress time to put the coffee on the table looked at me and said "are you going to tell them?"
Everybody got quite and was staring at us, I looked and them and said "Clint and I have decided to become Alabama fans…." Then I said "just kidding, we're having a baby" They were all super excited and after all the congratulations quieted down... Uncle Alan looked at Clint while chuckling and said "Cuz, how did that happen." ha ha.
Since mom and Dad were going to TN and coming back that afternoon and it's sooooo pretty this time of year, I decided to ride up with them. While there I got my first symptoms of carrying a bundle and one of them [which was extremely out of the ordinary for me] a case of the sleepys. I took a nap on the way there AND on the way back.
When I got home I almost went straight to bed immediately. I wanted to watch the game with Clint – we always decide to watch the Iron Bowl with just us [too critical a game, you know?] but I was so tired, I just went straight too bed. We were taping it and I figured I'd wake up to catch the end of it. I didn't.
Auburn won with the first ever 6 Iron Bowl wins in a row and I missed it. Though I did get up EARLY the next morning and watch it, at the time I couldn't have cared less... I was growing one of God's little miracles... [ I KNOW! GET OVER YOURSELF ALREADY TERI!! ] ha ha ha. I'm just so excited!! What a sweet sweet year 2007 had ended up being.

Drum Roll Please...
Today is the Day after Thanksgiving and I had to get up early (not to beat the crowds at Toys R Us in order to catch a bargain for my angels that I'm shopping for this year), but to have my blood drawn at Brookwood to see if Clint and I do in fact have some big news to share with everyone. Since I wouldn't be finding out until that afternoon, and it would probably be shear torture waiting… We decided not to sit around all day and wait on that test, so we drove up to Clint's mother's house to spend the day with her and eat some really good food.
When we got back I checked my patient voicemail and listened to the nurse talk about not being able to reach me at our given numbers and it seemed to take FOREVER for her to finally get around to what I was waiting for… Finally… - Your test is in fact positive. She went on and on about a lot of other stuff on that message, but I didn't hear a word of it. LOL!
I had a smile you couldn't wipe off my face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I started jumping up and down!!
Clint was very ecstatic too!!! I think we probably keep looking at each other off and on for goodness knows how long with a big smile and would just break out almost laughing every time. We were just silly with happiness.
A bit later, we called his mother back and that is when she told us that she thought that's why we were coming in the first place. She also said the whole time we were at her house she noticed a glow about me.
When I told my mom, she said "Babe! Praise be to God - you make sure you Thank the Lord for not having to go through all that stuff" (she was referring to the injections and such that most people have to go through at the ART).
I ran by Misty's (my first cousin) house to tell her the news. When she opened the door she was in tears, because Lint (her cat of 14 years that I had named) had just died [okay, moment of silence for Lint – poor little baby… hmm… okay the moment is over]. ; ) When I told her she laughed and said "GIVE ME A HUG!" Then I went and told Aunt Sherry and Uncle Merrell. They were very excited!! I just wanted to run and tell everybody, I don't think I could sit still. I think I called Jaime, Jennifer and Daniel to tell them all the news I would have driven over to My Aunt Sheila and Uncle Alan's House to tell them with Leah and Tracey and by Paw Paw's too, but since it was getting late and I was getting wore out, I thought... that it'd be a lot more fun to wait until our Weekly breakfast on Saturday at Cracker Barrell with Paw Paw and just invite Aunt Sheila, Uncle Alan, Leah and Tracey too. So we called them and set it up.
So over to mom's house to see her and dad's excitement in person and when I got there Mom informed me she had just heard news of Scott McKnight's wife, Sharon, expecting, and we were due on the same day.
Mom and SueAnn have been friends for EVER! Ha ha. So Brian, Me, Scott and Heath grew up together and they are pretty much like family. You know these too were just tickled pink!
