The day I discovered...

The day I found out I was pregnant.  I will NEVER forget this day.  Monday, August 27, 2012 to be exact.  Some of this might be TMI, but there are certain things that cue women to think they might be pregnant so you are forewarned!  I was "late" two weeks before this so I tested a couple times that week and nada.  So I cursed my irregularity and went on my merry way.  Sunday night I was having pretty bad cramps and thought - okay tomorrow is the day.  Monday morning nothing...so curiosity got the best of me and I said what the heck let's take a test (one of the benefits of working at a medical facility that has those things lying around).  I thought I gave it a good amount of time, but it was probably 30 seconds because I had to get back to work ha ha and it was not showing a positive.  I went on with my day, but 5 minutes or so went by and I just had this gut feeling to go back and check.  So I go and look at the bottom of the trash can - and there it is, my positive test!  I was shocked.  I broke out in a sweat and was shaking instantly.  I wrapped up the test and couldn't help but tell the women I work with because they're my favorite.  It was so fun to see all of their unique reactions.  I kept my mouth shut the entire day and waited for Bryce to get home at 8:30 that night.  It was good for me to process the HUGE LIFE ALTERING concept as well as buy more tests at the dollar store to confirm this finding.  When Bryce got home he was starving and he'd had good news at work so I said we could go out to eat, but first I wanted to say prayers.  He complied with my request, but I knew he thought I was crazy.  I said the usual things and concluded with asking a blessing "on the baby growing inside of me"...amen....long pause.  I open my eyes and he's dumb founded, yet smiling, yet scared, and beaming all at the same time.  It was amazing!  His reaction was perfect and I loved it.  Then he just shouts "We're going to the Olive Garden!" ha ha as if that is some place you go to after finding out these sorts of things.  So there we went and there we laughed, talked, giggled, joked, and cried about our exciting life coming to us sometime around May 4, 2013 :)
