I was about 4 days late, so we decided to try a home pregnancy test.  Eric drove to the drugstore to pick up the tests.  I went through 2 "manual" home pregnancy tests before Eric driving back to the drugstore again to get the digital reading!  The manual test is a bit difficult, or we were just in the denial stage.  This test shows a positive or negative sign.  However, the digital test is clear-cut..you're either "Pregnant" or not.  Well, our test clearly said "Pregnant."  I was shocked at first, mainly because less than 24 hours we were leaving for our 2-week European vacation and about to attend a friend's wedding, Phil & Lisha Baer.

We did not have the time to get the official news from a doctor prior to our Europe trip so we kept it a secret the entire 2 weeks!  Boy was that difficult.  As a matter of fact, because I was not eating, my dad was really scared for me and wanted to take me to an Italian doctor.  I declined and made up some story that I felt like this before when I studied in Spain during my college years.  I was so nauseous and didn't want to eat that I lost 5 pounds while in Europe.

Although the trip to Europe was amazing, I was not able to enjoy the wine, espresso, food, etc.  The pictures show my expressions!  We will one day have to go back with Baby Clark.
