Aunt Jill called me about a week and a half ago. She reported that she was having trouble with her pregnancy test. I think I screamed when she said it. "Your WHAT?" Turns out the trouble was that it was positive! Well, the first one was. The next two showed errors (darn digital!). So I urged her to go get more tests. To which she responded in a very typical Jill fashion, "But I don't have to go to the bathroom." I KNOW I screamed that time. "Then go drink some water!!!!" Eventually she did take another test. In fact, I think by the end of the day she'd taken close to ten. And the verdict-- PReGgERS!!
Her due date is mere days from Micah's birthday... February 12. We're bursting with excitement over Micah's first cousin (well, he's got some adopted cousins and lets not forget his step-cousin Luke). Jill seems well prepared for this. She called last night and I told her I couldn't talk. I was cleaning out the bathtub because Micah had just pooped in it. I was waiting for a grossed out reaction and instead she just said, "Isn't that just what kids do?" I think that's a very appropriate reaction that will go far to keep her calm as a mommy.
When you think of her, pray for her and baby Conger # 1 that the first trimester goes by smoothly and quickly.

POOP IN THE TUB! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yes, that's where my junior high mind goes immediately. Not first to the fact that Jill's preggers. Ha ha! But nonetheless, YAY JILL!
