Is this real life???

Hello ladies!
My name is Kate and this is my first experience on The Bump. I was so very blessed that my TTC only lasted 2 months and I was still shocked when it happened!
Due date? As early as July 31st but probably Aug 2 or 3 - I guess my first Prenatal will hammer that down??
How did you find out? I had originally taken a test on the 20th (about 10 days after I think we conceived) which came up negative. Clearly I have no idea what I'm doing. Then the Tuesday before Thanksgiving my sister had come in for the Holiday around midnight, mom and dad were already here, and I was about 2 days late, cramping and nothing was happening. Convinced I was not pregnant but knowing that we would be drinking the entire week I just wanted to make sure I wasn't. I knew another negative would piss me off, but I agreed I'd just start the next day with some morning mimosas and drink away my disappointment. Welp, that didn't happen!! 1:39am on Wednesday I got a dark blue plus! I couldn't even talk and just handed my husband the test! I didn't sleep at all that night and told the fam the next day!
Job? I'm a Drug and Alcohol Evaluations therapist for a local rehab in Pittsburgh, PA. I'm like intake.
Hobbies? Spin class!!! Getting healthy was the start of my pregnancy journey this year!
Other children/pregnancies? This is our first!
Pets? None yet. Maybe after baby - apparently raising both is hard?
Spouse? Yes! Mitch, married four years this October!
Anything else interesting? My husband and I have been practicing Natural Family Planning since we got married. I was only ever on the Pill for four months studying abroad in 2008. My Catholic faith is super important to me. And when my sister describes me to her friends she says "she's just a little extra" which is pretty spot on! AND my best friend is also pregnant and will be joining the group soon!!!! Shout out to Hillary!!!
