Well, our new adventure begins! We started this blog as we were heading out on our Indian Adventure and we are now picking it up again as we are starting a new journey. We've been 'considering' this for a while now, somewhat thinking about waiting until Ghee's participation in the diabetic study ended in July, but also thinking that it was really time for us to get the show on the road. A couple things happened along the way that pushed us forward. One: we moved to a new neighborhood with the sweetest kids in the universe and everyday we share and talk about the cute things they say or do and then return home (next door) to this feeling that it would be really great to have that in our own home. Two: We have started ordering groceries from Amazon Fresh. What an absolute treat! They have so much to offer and we just love it; however, we found that one of the first things we looked for on the webpage was to check to see if they have diapers. I think we're ready.
So, Ghee did have some 'instincts' telling her that there was something in the oven, but nothing as blatant as what occured last night when we went to dinner at Mediterranean Kitchen--which was another sign as it had been a craving all day. As we arrived we had to squeeze past a pregnant woman to get to the counter to put our names down. It was a half an hour wait, so we walked across the street and around the block. When we returned, the wait continued so we began playing a game: "How many pregnant women do you see at this restaurant?" This is not a game we often play, but we had noticed an outstanding number of protruding bellies. 1..2..3..4..5..6...in the time we were waiting there (at this restaurant with a crowd of maybe 30 people) we spotted SIX pregnant women. We could not believe this. On our way home last night, we picked up a 2 pack of pregnancy tests at the pharmacy and gave it a try. Of course, with the excitement Ghee didn't follow the directions and we received an 'invalid' result, so this afternoon we headed back to Walgreens. We actually made the discovery at our 'old house'--in the laundry room. Ghee called to Philip, "I need to show you something. I think you better come in here." And, in he headed to find a giddy, blubbering Ghee. The rest is history.
