Yep you are reading that right! I'm writing this now so that I will remember everything that I'm feeling right now. This won't be posted until after I spill the beans to everyone when we are in Hawaii. It all started the week of February 16th. I had suspected but wasn't sure that I might be pregnant. I didn't want to get my hopes up, so I didn't take a pregnancy test right away. That's what happened a few months back when my period didn't come on time. I went out and bought the test, but unfortunately my period came the next day so I never used it. Well I kept telling myself that I'll just wait until Friday to see if it comes. I even looked up on the Internet some "signs" of pregnancy. I only had two out of ten or fifteen that were possible signs. So Friday came and still no period. So I took the test in the morning before I went to work. It was one of those digital ones that says "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant". It said that it could show results as little as three minutes, and take as long as ten minutes. Well it took about one minute to show "PREGNANT" as the result (see picture). So many emotions went through me in that one second of realizing what it said, joy, happiness, fear, anxiety, but most of all I was ECSTATIC! I didn't think that I would cry but that's exactly what I did. Jeff wasn't home at the time, so I called him and asked him to meet me at work. He said that he had his suspicions because I sounded really happy on the phone and he hadn't seen signs in the bathroom that I'd started my period yet. We are both SO EXCITED for this new step in our lives. We've been trying for the past year, but we were in the mode of "if it happens it happens". Now that it's happened it's very exciting to know that our doubts of being able to conceive are gone. I'm very excited to tell the WORLD that we are having a baby, especially my parents. This will be their first grandchild. My mom and dad have been hinting that they want to grandparents. It's going to be so much fun to see their reactions. I'll make sure to get it on video for all to see. I'm trying to come up with some clever way of telling them, but nothing has come to mind yet. We keep wondering what we are going to have. Jeff is hoping for a boy, I'm indifferent, I'm just excited to be pregnant and becoming a mother. I'm sure there will be many more posts to come in the next 9 months about all the exciting milestones in my pregnancy. I just wanted to share what's going through my head right now. So this is the kick off post that won't be posted until April. It's going to be so hard to keep it a secret, especially because my mom is coming into town next weekend!
