What a nerve wracking, exciting month its been! This post is going to be about finding out I'm going to be a MOMMY!
I woke up at about 4:00 AM on August 20th and had to use the bathroom SO bad. I knew I wanted to take a test that day though so I wanted to wait to go until a little bit closer to the time I was supposed to wake up. Finally after two hours of laying in bed, both trying to ignore the fact I needed to pee so bad and wondering if this was the day I'd find out I'm going to be a mommy, I decided to get up and take the pregnancy test.
I was trying to make sure I didn't get my hopes up too much since I was testing so many days early.
So I did my thing and laid the test on the back of the toilet seat and sat staring at it...
Then.. Is that a line? It's so faint... I think it's a line. It's gotta be. Am I imagining it? Just hoping to much? THATS DEFINITELY A LINE. It's faint but it's there!!! Maybe I should google just in case.. Maybe I'm mistaken and it might show up a little just from the liquid...
So I climb back into bed and ducking under the covers so the light of my phone doesn't wake my husband I begin to search. I look at boards that other pregnant woman have posted on, look at photos that woman have posted of barely there lines to compare. After all the assertions I read and saw, I finally knew it to be true. That faint pink line was there. I had two pink lines. I am going to be a mommy.
I was going to put the stick by my husbands phone for him to see, when he woke up. But I knew he probably wouldn't really realize the second line was there so I decided to wait until he woke up, to tell him.
So I hop in the shower to begin getting ready for school. When I finished and came out of the bathroom I saw that my hubby must be up because he wasn't in bed anymore. I walk to the kitchen doorway, he has his back turned to me and I greet him which he reciprocates. He then asks "So what do we know?" I replied "You're going to be a daddy!" His head whipped around so fast (it was really cute and funny) and he said "Really?!"
I replied "Yep! The line is faint but it's there."
He of course wanted to see the results, it took some convincing that the line wouldn't be there at all if I wasn't. In the end he trusted me.
So I finish getting getting ready for school and as I begin my hour and fifteen drive I call my BFF Crystal to tell her the news....
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?"
"Yup!"
"YOU"RE NOT JOKING?"
"Nope! I'm pregnant!"
I had two tests remaining so I took them the next couple days just so I could see the line darken and make myself feel a little better (I was still a little nervous I was wrong lol) and on friday the second pink line showed up so quickly, and darker, that I had no doubt (as if the fatigue I was already experiencing shouldn't have been a clue)
We finished telling family and close friends the news early Sunday afternoon, not until then did we post to Facebook (I hate when people post big news like that on Facebook and have family find out that way, I just think it's really rude and inconsiderate).
We're so excited to begin this new journey in our lives!!
