The Story

Ok, I have started breathing normally again and think I have enough oxygen in me to tell our story.  I'm just going to warn you though, it's a terrible story.  I wish so bad I could have a re-do but, alas, there are no do-over's.  I had a plan.  I had a Father's Day card that I have had for a while and whenever I became pregnant I was going to write in it and give it to him and record his reaction.  Wouldn't that have been sweet? 

Instead, it went down something like this.  I realized Friday that I was a few days late.  Not enough to be worried about but late none the less.  I was REALLY, REALLY cranky and really tired, just recently my Spark had stopped working as well.  I used to could have a Spark in the morning and a Spark after lunch and I could be good to go as long as I wanted.  Even at 10-11 at night I was still good to go but the past few days my Spark had been wearing off EARLY, like 3-4:00 in the afternoon early.  All that and my throat hurt and my throat NEVER hurts.  So, Friday night we went to an Advocare even here in Montgomery and I sat by a friend who is a L&D nurse at the hospital here in town.  As I was trying so hard to stay awake I asked her if some of my symptoms might be pregnancy and she said I should definitely take a test Sat morning.

We went to Louise's after the AdvoCare thing and I met Matt there.  As soon as we got home I took the test and left it in the bathroom while I went and laid down.  A minute or two later Matt came in and asked what it said.  In the most cowardly way possible I told him there was no way I could go look.  I knew and I was NOT ready for confirmation.  He walked in the bathroom, walked out almost immediately and was absolutely GLOWING and had tears in his eyes!  Before he even said anything I said, "Nuh-uh!"  He said that it was positive and I told him that he did it wrong.  He said there was no way that it says on the stick two lines means pregnant and there are two lines.  At that point I literally started rocking and crying (hyperventilating) as Matt soothed me telling me how it was going to be ok. 

I am DYING to tell everybody but really Louise!  I just need to ask her some questions!  Matt really wants us to wait and I understand that and I agree it's just HARD.  My OB-GYN office is my customer (and just all together AWESOME) so I went there this morning and told them and even though my Dr has a ten week wait to see her for new OB patients because they love me and because of an extenuating circumstance (I'll go into later on) they got me in to see her a week from today!  Woo HOO!

Last thing, this. is. weird.  It is so, so weird that there is a little thing that is going to be a human being is growing in my stomach and nothing else seems to have changed.
