We're Having a Baby!

I can not believe I am already in week 19 of my pregnancy.  The time has flown by, and there is so much to look forward to in the upcoming months.

Rob and I found out we were pregnant on October 27, 2011.  I remember waking up as soon as Rob left for work, and I laid in bed contemplating whether or not I should take a pregnancy test.  We were supposed to go to a Halloween party that night, and I didn't want to end up drinking if I actually was pregnant.  I honestly did not think for a second that I was pregnant.  I didn't have any symptoms, but this was the ritual.  Every month I took about 10 pregnancy tests, (I wish I was exaggerating) and I got my hopes up waiting for two lines to show up on the test, and month after month, it was only that 1 stupid line.  So, I got out of bed, stumbled to the bathroom and took the test.  After waiting only 2 minutes, I decided to check.  I could not believe what I was looking at.  There were two lines!  I rubbed my eyes just to make sure I wasn't seeing double.  But the lines got darker and darker.  I was is total and complete shock!

I was so excited and I really wished that Rob was home so he could double check the test to verify that I wasn't in fact crazy, and that there actually were two lines showing on the test.  Unfortunately, he was at work, and it would be HOURS until he got home.  I decided to keep the secret until he got home that night, and I would surprise him then.

Since I was going to be home when he arrived, I made a sign that said "Congratulations Daddy!" and left it in the kitchen, along with the positive pregnancy test.  As soon as he walked in I didn't say a word as he went into the kitchen.  I waited for it, and I heard him reading the sign.  He said, "Is this for real?" and I replied, "Well look at the test, and you tell me!" He did and had the biggest smile on his face! We were ecstatic!

We were finally pregnant!

We were having a baby!
