One year ago today!

One year ago today I found out that I was pregnant. It was a strange day. I was working at Phill's shop and on my feet all day. I didn't feel sick, but I didn't feel "right" either. I remember calling him and telling him "I feel weird" He said "go home and lay down if you're sick" and I responded "I'm not really sick...I just feel strange"

Anyway, after he came back to the shop I decided to go to the dollar store and buy a bunch of $1 pregnancy tests...just because thats what crazy infertile women do whenever they feel off or feel a twinge.... Anyway, I remember staring down at the test and thinking that I might see two lines...but I wasn't sure. If you've ever really wanted to be pregnant you'll understand what I mean about "ghost lines" sometimes it looks like there is a line there when there isn't. There had been times when I would hold a test up to the light to see it better and other times when I would take the test apart to look at the strip without the plastic covering.

So I thought that this was another case of the ghost line. Just to be sure I took another test. This one slightly darker than the first, but still questionable. So I took a third, and my heart stopped and then started beating really fast. I remember my leg started to shake and my hands were shaking so bad, I dropped the test and had a hard time opening up the fourth test. The fourth test had the darkest line. I burst into tears and sat there for 1o mins just saying "I can't believe it" over and over again. If anyone had walked in on me that day they would have thought I was nuts!

But those were dollar store tests and I was worried that they were faulty, even though I know tha a line is a line....so I ran out to CVS and purchased 3 more tests! I was almost afraid to buy the digital test because it felt like seeing "negative" would be worse than seeing a test without a line.

I rushed home to take those tests too...but had to wait because I didn't have to pee. About an hour later I rushed over to Phill's shop and busted through the door. I must have looked a mess because he stood up and said "What happened? Is everyone okay?" When I said "I'm pregnant!" He just looked at my dumbfounded for like three seconds and then threw his hands up in the air victory style!

I called my sister right after that and then I called Ali...both of them were like "wait what?" Now 1 year later I have the most gorgeous little boy on the face of the Earth! So much changes in a year!
