How I Found Out

On our way back from Mexico (where I consumed one too many fruity drinks mind you) I looked at my little "period card"....you know the one the Dr. gives you to keep track of everything? I noticed that by this time last month I had already started my period (and I have always been pretty regular). It was actually a few days late....weird...I couldn't be pregnant. We hadn't really even tried yet. I figured maybe I would start in a few days....fast forward to Father's Day and I STILL hadn't started. I wanted to take a test....how cool would it be to find out I was pregnant on Father's Day and be able to tell Joe?! But I told myself that I would probably start my period the next day. I kept having that weird feeling in my stomach....you know the one you have right before you start your period? Yeah.... that one...which made me think that I wasn't pregnant. So on Monday I went to visit my sweet friend, Adrienne, and her two boys and I just woke up having this feeling that I was pregnant. By now I was over a week late. On the way home I stopped at the $1 Tree and bought 2 pregnancy tests, got home and took them.......they said I was pregnant. I stared at myself in the mirror....me....pregnant.....what?! I was giddy...but still couldn't believe it. MUST GET MORE TESTS!!! I headed to Target and bough the kind that actually says "PREGNANT". I came home and took the test....this is what I saw:

This was for real. I was pregnant. I called the Dr. and made an appt. Now I had to find a creative way to tell Joe. He had left this morning to go on a trip to Texas and would not be back until Thursday. MUST TELL SOMEONE!!! I called Kristy and she did not answer. I knew she was in an in-service...but this was important. She texted me and told me to text her back. I told her I couldn't text her...she needed to go to the bathroom and call me. So a few minuted later I get a phone call. She thought something was horribly wrong. When I told her she cried happy tears and started helping me think of ways to tell Joe.....I love her!
