Still Can't Believe It!

Thank you everyone for your sweet comments!

I couldn't believe it when the pregnancy test said "pregnant".  I was so excited!  It was the second test that convinced me, the third test that I believed it and the fourth test was just for fun.  Yes I took 4 tests! Actually it was 5 but the first one didn't work.  The first test I took was a digital test and it was the only one I had left in the house.  It didn't work.  It was faulty.  So I bought some non-digital tests that same day and waited until the next morning.  I got up grabbed a test and was shaking in anticipation of the results.  After the results appeared I still didn't know what to think.  There was a very faint positive line.  I quickly took a picture and sent it to Dustin who was at the fire station.  I said "please tell me you see a line too and that I am not crazy".  He saw something but wasn't convinced either. 

At work I went during lunch and bought a digital test.  I went in the bathroom and to my surprise it said "pregnant".  I was extremely excited.  Of course I had to contain my excitement because I couldn't tell anyone.  My husband had to be the first to know.  I quickly called him and told him the news.  I don't think it had sunk in yet though.  Then I called my mom, dad and my sister.  My parents are so excited as this will be their first grandchild.  Next I called the doctor and made my first appointment.

This past Tuesday, November 10, we went for our first appointment.  I have to say it was rather disappointing.  All the doctor did was ask a bunch of questions about our medical history, took a urine sample and blood.  That was it.  We were hoping to get to see the baby but we will have to continue to wait.  I will be 8 weeks this Friday and I won't have my first sonogram until December 10.  That seems like forever away and I am trying to be patient.

My plan was to wait and surprise you all with the sonogram picture but I just couldn't wait that long.  We are so excited and have been sharing the news with all our friends over the past week.  I decided I would share the news with you all too! I am due July 2 and we just couldn't be more excited!

We started trying to have a baby in August.  I got pregnant very quick even though it didn't feel quick.  We are both hoping for a boy but will be just as thrilled if it is a little girl.  We are just praying for a healthy baby! I can't wait to experience this journey and it truely is a miracle!
