A few weeks ago my wife went to the doctor to get blood drawn. She had been on Clomid (sp?) for a month. A few days after her blood was drawn she called the doctor for results and found out that she wasn't pregnant. She was upset and so was I. That weekend we spent at my parents' house. Tiff went tanning on saturday and on Sunday we had gone to get Sushi with my older sister and younger siblings. Tiff had tried some raw salmon.

Anyway, that night she started getting Ill and stayed home the next day. While she was sitting there on the couch feeling terrible, she received a call from her doctor. He asked if she "felt pregnant." She said she didn't know. But that's what got this ball rolling.

That night we went around town trying to find a home pregnancy test that gives you a '+' if you are and a '-' if you aren't. We couldn't find it so we decided to go home and try again some other night. A couple of nights later, the night before she was scheduled to fly to Missouri to visit family, we bought a test. I was watching TV, a typical guy thing to do while his wife is trying to find out if she's pregnant or trying to solve world hunger.

Tiff came bounding out of the bathroom like a psychotic Beagle with a huge smile on her face. "I'm pregnant!" is all she could say before she dove on top of me and tried to squeeze the life out of me. "That's great!" was my reply.

I really am happy about the pregnancy. I just want to know how many babies we are having. You see, Clomid is a fertility drug. According to her doctor, women who take the drug have an 85% chance of having twins because each time a woman takes a pill, it makes her body ovulate. There is a 10% chance of having 1 child and about a 5% chance of having three or more. Two kids would be fine, but twins also run in Tiff's family. Therefore, if she conceived twice on different eggs and one of the eggs is a natural twin, we could be looking at three kids. That would be interesting.

I will keep you all posted on the happenings in AndyLand. Tiff has her first ultrasound a week from today and that is when we find out exactly how many little munchkins we will be having. Updates as events warrant! Till then,
