The One Year Anniversary of the CrAzIeSt Day of My Life!!!

6:00 AM...I couldn't wait to get out of bed on this morning last year. I threatened taking the test the night before, but I knew it would probably be false again and I heard that they are the most accurate in the morning, so I waited. I actually really didn't have my hopes too high. I had jumped the gun and taken one on several occasions over the last year/year and a half and all of them were false, so what in the world would make this one any different!

I just went to the other end of the house to the guest bathroom. I was just going to leave it there, go get ready for work and go back to check it in a little bit...no big deal, right? Yeah, well, I couldn't even get out of the bathroom before an extra little pink line popped up. No...no way...something must have been wrong with this one. Maybe I read the "constructions" wrong. It's REALLY light pink...so, maybe it's just defective.

{Insert very strange feelings coming all over me. Lightheaded...a total out of body kind of experience.}

What if? What if it is right? Then what?? So, yeah, I've been waiting for this, but never really thought about what kind of reaction I would have if it ever happened!

I kind of felt like part of me stayed in the bathroom staring at the two pink lines while another part of me went on about my morning...getting ready and off to work! Off to work with the other test...yep, I was taking it again just as soon as nature called!

9:00 AM...Nature called :) I'm sure that had nothing to do with the 5 bottles of water that I had already gulped down! Gosh, 2 pink lines again...maybe the whole pack was defective?? Maybe I should get a different kind of test just to be sure that I'm not reading it wrong! Maybe I need the kind that has the word digitally show up "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant." Surely I couldn't read that kind wrong. How am I going to manage this from work?? I'm going to run into SOMEBODY that I know...nope, can't do that.

So, I text a friend...

A really good friend.

Lots of texts transpire between us on that morning. The condensed version went something like this:

Me: Hey
Her: Hey
Me: Where are you?
Her: In Mobile. Do you need something?
Me: I'm late.
Her: You're late for what?
Me: You know...I'm late. I'm scared.
Her: I'm not scared! I'm excited!
Me: Ok. Well, I'm scared.
Her: Have you taken a test?
Me: 2
Her: And? What did they say?
Me: 2 pink lines. Both times.
Her: Oh!
Me: They might be wrong. Maybe I need another brand or something.
Her: Um, okay, but I think they are probably right :)
Me: You think?
Her: Yeah. So, do you want me to come to Greenville and get you another one and meet you?
Me: Uhh...yeah.

She comes all the way from Mobile to do this for me...yep, that's a good friend! She EVEN called her doctor, pretended like she thought she was pregnant to ask them if she had taken 3 tests that morning and all of them were positive, was there a pretty good chance that they are right...hilarious! It was really hard to not giggle!

So, I was finally convinced. After a WHIRLWIND of emotions struck, I got myself pulled back together. I did have to go back to work after all! Finally, my feelings went from scared (afraid of getting my hopes up and it not being true) to the highest degree of excitement possible! I had to figure out how I was going to tell David! I had not EVEN mentioned that I had even suspected it! I waited until I got home at 8:30 that night to tell him...that was SOOO hard!!! I don't even have words to describe the excitement in him! It was kinda out of the clear blue for him which made it even better!

Wow...what joy that little tiny butterbean being created inside of me this time last year has brought to our lives!  

One year later:

(That's some good sugar!)

Ok, so, this October 14th is even more fun than last October 14th...
