BFP

It was a quite Wednesday Night on January 19th, 2011 .  Josh was going to a friends house and I needed to get out of the house.  So I wandered around the Dollartree.  I picked up a few things and when I happened past the pregnancy tests I decided to grab two to have on hand.  Thinking they would most be for piece of mind if that "something" was running behind schedule that month.

I got home and then I after looking at my loot (how much candy does one need?).  I realized that that "something" was running behind schedule that month.  But the amount of chocolate I had just bought was surely a sign that "it" was coming right up.  I decided to take one of the tests, just in case.    

The test was showing two lines.  But it's from the dollar store so I just couldn't believe it.  I took the other test.  Still two lines.  I still couldn't trust the results. So I jumped in the car and got my in shock self to Target to buy a "real" test.  I got home with the three pack and tried to do my business with it.  But having peed on two sticks already I had nothing but a drop or two come out.  So I went to get more water to drink and thought I'd try again.  I happened back by I realized it had become positive off of that drop or two.  Now I was a believer.

How was I ever going to tell Josh?  Being creative was a bit out of the question at this time of night.  But I didn't want to just blurt it out either.  I just was hoping he wouldn't be at his friends too long.  I had to tell someone before I exploded.  I texted my sister Jess.  I couldn't wait to tell her so that we could "be pregnant" together. 

Thank heavens Josh wasn't long.  I asked him how his night was and then just pulled the test right out.  He was in pure shock at first and couldn't believe it.  But when he did he was so excited.  He had to call his parents right then.  Of course it was 11:30 at night, and I had always imagined "telling" in some fun way, but he called anyway.  They couldn't believe it and had to check in the morning to make sure it wasn't a dream.

Of course, there was no getting to sleep that night.  I had an appointment in the morning too.  An appointment I canceled after being up until sunrise looking up pregnancy stuff.  I figured out how far along I was (5 weeks) and my due date (September 24th).  Josh somehow managed to get a few hours of sleeping before going to work the next morning.

Then a few other things had started to make since after we realized I was indeed expecting.  Like why I had been sleeping so much the past week and a half.  And why it had become harder to just eat food.  I never in a million years thought that it would be so fast and easy to get pregnant (having tried before).  I guess timing is everything.  And it was the right time.
