How we found out...

I had just recently gotten a new job in the beginning of November, I got an interview on my birthday and they told me I was hired! I had no idea yet that I was pregnant, none what-so-ever. I remember being paranoid that my job required me to wear khaki pants because I was so terrified I was going to get my period while I was at work and you can not hide that in khaki pants AT ALL! So, I was more than eagerly awaiting my period so that I could not have an embarrassing surprise like that at work... but then I noticed, it was not coming.. still not here.. still not here... still not here and then finally I was past due for my period. I had a tiny inkling that just maybe and I even joked with my husband about it then saying, "haha, yeah right" and thinking, "no, no.. it's just a little off whack this month" and that has happened to me before so it wasn't a big deal so I put it out of my mind for the rest of the day. (November 19th, 2008) The next day my husband and I were walking around in Seattle and decided to go to the mall to look around a bit and get something to eat. While we were going up the escalator to the top we passed by a maternity store and my husband joked, "hey, why don't we go look around in there" and I just laughed and said, "riight, that'll happen." still having no clue what we were going to find out later that night. Well, as the day winded down we dropped by the arcade and talked to his brother for a little while to warm up since it was pretty cold outside then decided to head home. We got home and watched a movie and I got the, "what if" thoughts back in my head 

and ended up sending my husband to the store for a test just so I could get that out of my mind especially since I thought getting pregnant for me wasn't possible. He got home and I laughed saying, "sorry I made you waste 20 bucks on nothing, but anyway I'll go do it" so I walked in the bathroom opened the test, read the directions and then proceeded to go to the bathroom without even testing because for some reason I was still nervous. I then grabbed a big bottle of water and chugged it until I was about to pop and grabbed the test, took it and called my husband in to wait with me. I joked the whole time saying, "I can't believe I'm doing this and I made us waste money on this for nothing" then BAM, it popped up and it DID NOT say what I was thinking it would.. it said PREGNANT and I said, "HA this thing is a piece of crap!" and sent him to the store yet again to buy a different type of test thinking that the other one was broken or something. He got home, gave me the test and back in the bathroom I went. We waited.. waited.. and again, pregnant.... took the 2nd test in the box and again..  waited.. then PREGNANT! That was the biggest shock I think I'd even had in my life and I just dropped the test and began to ball my eyes out. Finally, later when I had calmed down we decided to go talk to Planned Parenthood in the morning just to get better opinions on it and they had me take yet another test and told me, "yes, you are pregnant... you are 5 weeks pregnant" my eyes just popped out of my head! I guess it was just weird to hear that from someone else and I definitely didn't think that even if I really was pregnant that it would already be that far. But, then again I wasn't exactly thinking straight, heh. 

I have since been to the doctor and I have seen our little kicker 3 times now and I am so blessed and in love with it already and so, so happy my doctor was wrong and that I can have children because I wouldn't change this for anything! We haven't even met yet and my husband and I already love, love, love and adore this baby!
