7 am this morning, I got up to take a pregnancy test. I had taken one a month earlier and it was negative. I was very upset that day. Today, I got up, tinkled on the little stick, and set it on the counter to start the 5 min timer. As I was washing up, I glanced down and saw not the usual one, but two little dashes. My heart skipped a beat ,but I went downstairs to talk with Alex as the timer was going. When the timer went off, I walked up the stairs, and looked at the test. Sure enough, it was a positive result!! I almost jumped with joy! I walked downstairs and told Alex, "Your friend isn't the only one who is going to be a daddy." He said "REALLY?!?" Then began the race of different emotions over the next few hours. It was surreal at first "is this really happening?", then frightening "how can we afford a child?" Then I was so excited every other emotion just went away and it was pure joy.
For the first week we decided to only tell family. So of course that included some of our closest friends, cause they are family. My mom just giggled, Alex's mom was like "really?!!?" Becky was all squee!
Next week I will take another test just to confirm, but I already have doctor appointments set up for next month.
My goal for this blog/journal is to keep my friends up to date, and hopefully post my prayers and bible study about being a future parent.
