Tuesday, August 25th, 2009, I woke up feeling like crap, so naturally my first reaction was, maybe I'm pregnant. I took a pregnancy test and it showed up negative. So, I assumed that I had the flu that is going around. I called out sick and stayed in bed. Feeling like I had tapeworm or something, I wanted to eat all day, but still felt nauseous. Wednesday, woke up feeling better than Tuesday, but not 100% up to par, so I went to work to find myself feeling pukey again. Went home sick an hour and a half later. I told myself that I cant afford to lose anymore work, I will survive Thursday, and I did.
~✿~ Well, Saturday, we had made plans to go to the lake and spend the day with the in laws. Matthew wanted to get some new pictures of his parents and I wanted Mexican food Lol. Just kidding, I wanted to get out of Ridgecrest and spend some time with the family. While Matthew was frolfing with the guys, I stayed home to get ready so we could basically just head right out...while in the shower, I was doing a lot of thinking. Friday, I was supposed to start and when I didn't it made me wonder...did I take that test too soon? Should I take another one or wait till my Dr. appointment on the 4th? I decided to take another test and wouldn't you know...without even waiting the three minutes they tell you to, the first line popped up. I was looking at it and thinking to myself, "wait, that line is usually on the other side?" (this was test number 6, so of course I know what to expect with a negative) then as I sat and stared intensely at it...the second line showed up. I'm not even dressed, I literally had just gotten out of the shower...I'm jumping up and down and screaming. OH MY GOD! is this really happening? Taking a double take on the pee stick...sure enough, it was not my eyes playing tricks on me...we are really pregnant. First thing I think to do is send a picture of this positive test to my husband and closest friends. I call my mom and tell her, she didn't seem very excited and was more concerned with inviting me to someones baby shower, but nothing could bring me down from this natural high. I'm going to be a mommy. Wow! Amazing! With all this energy, I quickly got ready and decided to take a walk to Albertson's to get a money order for my car registration. On my way there was I was talking to my daddy and Shannon. They are so excited. When I told my dad that we were trying, he was hesitant because he doesn't want to get old and be a grandpa. LOL. Now that we are pregnant, he is looking forward to being a grandpa, grinning ear to ear. Talked to them for about an hour while wandering aimlessly in Albertson's parking lot haha. When I got back home, Matthew was pulling into the garage. I was so excited, I practically tackled him. He is super excited too...of course. So, now we need to tell his parents.

We were heading up to the lake and I cant stop bouncing and smiling...the excitement was a warm overwhelming feeling. But, I had to tone it down a bit because we had planned months ago the way we wanted Don and Debi to find out. We invited them to play a game of Cranium right off the bat. After a few cards we decided to make a green card an everyone plays charades. Matthew and I acted out "we are pregnant" trying to get Don and Debi to guess it. After a while hahaha they finally got it...but didn't know we were being serious. They sat there and looked at us, when we said "we are pregnant" they were like, that's the answer...LOL....after they got it, they jumped to their feet yelling and got teary eyed grinning, which of course made me start to cry, we all hugged. It was the best reaction I could have ever seen when breaking wonderful new such as having a baby.
~✿~ Well, my mom had made a point that the test I took could have been defective and I should take another one with the first urine of the day, just to be sure. Me thinking there is now way you can get a false positive, I didn't think it was necessary, but Matthew and I felt better knowing for sure...there is a possibility for anything. So after hanging out at the wine walk talking to friends, we walked to Rite Aid and bought a couple more. I took one more last night and one first thing today...Yup...all 3 say Pregnant. Good enough for me.
