How did you find out?: LoL – little bit long of a story but here goes!

So earlier in the month I was bitching at Ben b/c “what if” I get pregnant and he gets laid off and he needs to step up and blah blah blah – apparently that was my subconscious mind telling me I WAS pregnant! Then August 28^th, I was working on a drinking game for our women’s weekend, and we got into it again out in the garage, about how I’ve been crabby the last 3 weeks, I don’t want to have sex w/ him, in fact he kinda grossed me out! I stomped across the yard all mad and went into the house and made dinner – he came in – just then I was like hmmmmm – so I grabbed the pregnancy test and within 30 seconds we had lines. LINES?!?!? What?!?!?! Yeah, we’d been planning this but OMG now what? OK so I walked out in the living room and said “Uh Ben?” and he said “What did you do?” my reaction was “Its not what I did its what WE did!” To be perfectly honest w/ you he was more excited than I was – I was petrified, but now I cant wait!!!!
