October 16th 2009

 

On October 16th 2009, I found out that I was pregnant for the first time!

I had been feeling "different" for about 3 weeks & I kept thinking & secretly hoping I was pregnant...but I wasn't sure. My friend Ashley kept telling me I was & making me take pregnancy tests. I had taken 2 & both said "no pregnant" so I thought maybe I was getting the flu that was going around.

On October 16th at 6:00am I took 1 more test because I was about 3 days late & I'm usually clock work (I know, TMI but oh well.) The test said wait 3 minutes for the result, but I had my results in 3 seconds & it clearly said "pregnant".

I just started shaking! I wasn't the least bit scared or worries or upset. I was completely over joyed! I'm actually pregnant & I'm actually going to have a baby! Joe wasn't home, he had duty so he wouldn't be home til the next day. But I had to tell someone so I sent a text to my friend Ashley asking, "Are there ever false positives on pregnancy tests?" She called me right away & we were talking & she told me I totally pregnant!

I wanted to tell Joe first, but I didn't want to over the phone. I had only told Ashley & I planned on waiting til the next day to tell Joe when he got home. I went to the store & bought another box of pregnancy tests (just to double & triple check) & a bib that said "I Love My Daddy" to give to Joe.

Again, I was going to wait til Joe was home, but I couldn't. As soon as Joe got in the car (I had to pick him up down at the base) I threw the Target bag at him. He was like totally confused & looked in the bag & he just yelled "What? What? What?" The whole time he was smiling & he pulled out the bib & yelled, "Is this true? Is this for real? Am I going to be a Daddy!? Really?" Then I started cry & he did too & we just hugged & cried & were both so excited!

Not once did we ever feel that "Oh crap...we're having a kid" feeling. The entire time from day 1 we have been so excited & so relieved! We've always wanted to be parents & have children (we're hoping for at least 2 & 4 is possible) & this is the best blessing ever! We are both so extremely excited!
