Some History.....

After nearly 2 years and 8 months of trying to conceive, on June 3, 2008 (my Dad's Birthday!) I FINALLY got my first ever BFP!!! ("big fat positive" on a pregnancy test for anyone not familiar with the lingo). I was scheduled to go to my doctor's office on the morning of June 4 for a pregnancy test, but my nurse told me that if I took a test on the morning of the 3rd, it would probably be accurate! Of course I couldn't wait..... the anticipation was killing me. I didn't tell Phil my plan was to take a test that morning so I tried to hurry up before he left for work hoping it would be good news. I took the test just after 6am and set it on the bathroom counter. I couldn't look. I waited a few minutes and it total disbelief, there it was before my eyes, 2 pink lines!!!

I had never seen that before, ever! I ran to see if Phil was in the driveway, but he was already gone so I calmly, or as calmly as I could, called him and told him that I was fine, but he needed to turn around and come back to the house immediately! I said, "don't ask any questions, just get back here". Of course he thought the worst and apparently did a u-turn in somebody's front yard and came flying back home....good thing he was only down the road. He came flying in the door from the garage and was like, "What's wrong?" and I said, "Nothing's wrong!" "I'M PREGNANT!!!" He was in shock for a few seconds and didn't understand and I told him that the nurse told me I could take a test today and it would probably be accurate! I showed him the test and he was in disbelief. He kept asking if I knew what the test means and I said of course I know what it means, 2 pink lines means pregnant. He was just baffled in disbelief and shock. We were both in shock! He had to get to work so he left again and called a few minutes later and told me to stop at the pharmacy and buy some more tests. I said I would, but that I didn't think this was false. I didn't have time that morning to stop on my way to work so I went out at lunch time and bought 3 more tests, all different brands. I got back to the office and took 2 more tests and sure enough they clearly said I was pregnant! I don't think I got too much work done that day... I was on Cloud 9! We decided that we weren't going to tell anybody until after our doctor's appointment the next morning confirmed the pregnancy. That was torture to keep the news from everyone until the next day!
