Finding Out!

Well, believe it or not, I didn't even expect to see those two little pink lines.  We had gotten so used to only seeing one I didn't even think it was possible.  Monday November 21, 2011 I fell asleep super early on the couch.  When I woke up for some reason just thought it wasn't normal that I had been THAT tired lately and thought to myself, "well, maybe I should take a test in the morning just in case; our family is coming tomorrow and this way I'll feel safe to have a few drinks".  Yes, that's what crossed my mind.  Jerry was off the following day so he didn't have to get up at 5AM with me for once.  I even hesitated to even take the test, but for some reason felt that I should.  Well we all know the results!! : ) Two little pink lines popped up right away and I couldn't believe my eyes! I didn't know what to do, he was still sleeping and I was in shock.  So I ran out of the bathroom and jumped on top of him to wake him and said " JERRY! You won't believe this! We're pregnant!".   Needless to say he had no idea what I was saying or talking about after being woke up so abruptly, it was priceless!  Unfortunately, I had to get ready and go to work all full of energy and excitement and no idea how to tell my family! Jerry couldn't get back to sleep after that so he stayed up with the dogs for a little while.

My family arrived that afternoon, but we didn't tell them until the next day; I think because we were still trying to soak it in what just happened.  They were very excited for us and couldn't wait to start telling other family members.  I had no idea what to do next so I was glad my mom was there at the time.  She told me I needed to call the doctor and ask them what to do.  I called the doctors office that same day and said "um I've had a positive pregnancy test, what do I do now?"  She informed me that it needed to be confirmed by a blood test.  So two long weeks, and two blood tests later, it was finally confirmed and our first doctors appointment was made. : )
