how I knew...

It happened twice in one day really. 

A Sunday. 

First, Jim came into the office, and - two desks between us, mind you - I could not breathe through the thick smell of peanut butter I was sure he had eaten for lunch.  He confirmed my suspicions and we parted ways. 

A few hours later we rendezvoused in closer quarters - the bedroom.  But two seconds of kiss told me all I needed to know.  He had eaten a chocolate chip cookie sometime within the past hour.  And the wafting, chocolatey sweetness was simply too, too much.

So on Monday I went to the store.  To confirm what by then seemed obvious. There will be a whole lot more tooth brushing at this house over the next 9 months.

I realized my second was coming when I had an overwhelming desire for a second awful cold hamburger at girl's camp.
Weird, how these things come to light isn't it?
Congratulations

[Shanon]

YEA!!! Bring another girl to the Scott cousins!!! Poor you about the smells. I didn't do the dishes one night and the next morning thought to myself, if I were pregnant I would be throwing up right now from the smell. And it wasn't even a strong smell. Good luck!!

Such exciting news!!!

[Dianna Henderson]

Congrats! What a fun way to spread the big news! I totally can relate to the smell and taste of things setting you off. I had nine months of that! I hope that you will not be too affected by morning sickness now that you have embarked on the whole R.S. Presidency thing. How exciting...are we hoping for a girl?

[Brady]

[Barb]

[jordan]

That is always my first signal of pregnancy...it's all about the food, who ate it, what they ate, and what I can eat. Congratulations to you, Amy!

[diana]

Oh that's sooo exciting! Yayy for you. And isn't that mama bear smelling senses the truth. I could smell things through the shrink wrap, box, and even the can sometimes.
