September 28th 2008.... I had been really sick since August 28th 2008 and my husband Christopher said why don't you take a pregnancy test? I was like ah no thanks. I had taken so many in the past and they had been negative so many times that at this point I was kind of depressed and did not want another test to tell me that we were not pregnant. Christopher kept getting on my case saying that he knew that we were pregnant, but I was not as sure.
After much coaxing from Christopher we went and got 2 Clear Blue Easy Digital read out pregnancy tests. I wanted to get the digital ones because the ones where they just have lines and colors can sometimes be misread. When we got home I took one of the tests and I did not want to look at it. We were sitting there for a few minutes and then Christopher looked at me and said "I Told You So!!" I was like what? hu? what is that suppose to mean? and then I looked over and saw the little digital read out that read Pregnant. I could not believe what I was seeing. I was sure that I had taken the test wrong or that it was defective.
We both were so excited and could not wait to get things going. I called the doctors office and they set up a phone question thing with a nurse. Which was just so fun. Answering questions like if you have a boy do you want him circumcised? and how much schooling we had? and many other questions Not sure what they all had to do with being pregnant but that's what they asked so I answered them all.
I'm not sure if Christopher knows this or not but I actually took the other pregnancy test that we had about 4 days later. They say for best results to take the test in the morning. I decided just to make sure the other test was correct I would take in the evening when they say it is less likely to get a positive answer unless you really are pregnant. Once I finished that test it there was no doubting that I was truly pregnant. I was happy after the first test but after the second one I was really really happy.
We set up our first doctors appointment for a few weeks later and got a potential due date of June 8th 2009. I was excited a June baby was going to be nice. I would not have to go through the summer being pregnant and I did not know of to many people with June birthdays so it was going to be awesome. The first doctors appointment came and went. The doctor verified that I was pregnant and he checked me out and said that everything looked good. I guess that once I had the doctors appointment it really hit me. I was going to be a mommy and Christopher was going to be a daddy from this point on it was going to be the best 9 months of our lives.
