Well, here I am beginning a blog. I am a follower of a few of my friends' blogs so I thought... why not start my own. This way, my distant relatives and close friends alike can see what "we 3 picketts" are up to. I'll start with a background and update as I go. As most of you know, we had some fertility issues about a year ago. After seeing a nutritionist and a fertility specialist, my ovary family decided to cooperate. I will never forget.... Danny and I had been in Granbury visiting my parents and on our way back to Fort Worth, we decided to stop into Lone Star Oyster Bar and have a few beverages on the patio. Nothing tasted good to me.. I tried my usual bourbon and 7-up, a refreshing cape cod, and nothing sounded appetizing except for SLEEP! I told Danny, " I think I might be pregnant." Danny's immediate response is, "Don't get your hopes up. Everyone always tells you that. You could have a toothache at work and someone would say how common a toothache is during pregnancy." So we made it an early night and went home. Having a stock of pregnancy tests, I woke up the next morning (probably afternoon once I actually rolled out of bed), and took the digital test. You ladies know what I mean, the 5 minutes seems like 30. But there it was, with beautiful digital letters.."pregnant". I didn't get too excited because of our previous experience. We immediately called our parents and close friends. and that's it. Until we went to the doctor. Anywho, I think this is a good starting point.
