We decided to get pregnant sometime around December, so I was quite surprised that it happened so fast.
I kind of knew before I even took the test, because my period was never late. Sometimes early, but never late. I bought the $1 test at the dollar tree a few days before.
I woke up that morning and walked down to the bathroom with said test in hand. So I follow the directions and wait.. and wait.. and one line appears ( the test line) and then the second line appeared. "OMG I"M PREGNANT" So many emotions ran through me at that point. I was shaking with excitement and fear. Yes, this baby was planned, yes I was happy, but was I really prepared to be a mom to another human being?
I walked back upstairs in to the bedroom and woke my husband to tell him that I was pregnant. It was still early that morning, but I just couldn't keep this to myself. Sure, I could have done something "cute" to surprise him and tell him that way, but I just couldn't wait. M was excited and had the biggest smile on his face that morning.
Of course I was still in such a daze and couldn't believe it, so before work on Monday I stopped at Target and got the digital pregnancy test. I just wanted to be sure that it was true. The box contained 3 tests and I took one test each day ha ha and each test came back "PREGNANT" .
So, now what? Do we start sharing the news with everyone or wait. I knew my parents would be ecstatic, yet I was scared to tell them. M's parents were another story and I knew that we would wait a while before we told them. We decided we would either wait until after the first appointment or the end of my first trimester.
A few days later, I called the OB-GYN and made my first appointment. I would be 8 weeks pregnant at that visit and we would get to see our little one for the first time.
