It's true! I am really pregnant! It was hard for me to believe at first as well. After only a few months, it happened! And I was starting to get discouraged...
I had been feeling...off, is really the best way to describe it. Maybe a little tired and an upset stomach here and there (which really isn't out of the ordinary for me) but nothing else really. I really wanted to take a pregnancy test but Pete kept encouraging me to wait. He didn't want me to be disappointed yet again and waste more money taking a test when I hadn't even missed my period. (Plus, I did get a little depressed about it because I thought it would happen right away. When it didn't I tried taking my temperature and charting my most fertile times. After 3 months though I had enought. Finally, we decided not to talk about it, no taking temperature and just relax. And then BOOM, it happened!)
I came home on Friday, August 12. Pete wasn't home yet, as he had spent the afternoon golfing with his Dad and Tim. I thought that this was my chance to take a test. (My period was due the next day but I just couldn't wait any longer.) I took the test and it felt like an eternity until the 2 red lines showed up! I was overcome with emotion - wow, this is really happening! To, damn, Pete is not here to share this with me. I literally jumped up and down in the bathroom and tried to take a good photo of the pee stick.
I didn't have to wait long to share the news with Pete, he was home within the next 20 minutes. He came into our bedroom and gave me a hug and kiss. I told him that I had something to share with him. He had a questioning grin and I said, "you are going to be a dad." He had this bewildered look in his face and was like no way, you are joking. I pulled out the test and we celebrated our new growing family.
It was one of the neatest moments that we shared.
