I thought I would take a moment and tell the story of how we found out we were pregnant for those who don't know. Jesse and I had been trying for a few months, not too long, but I am bad with dates etc and I "knew" we were not pregnant in August. My period was 9 days late, but I was having cramping like I was going to get it any day so I didn't want to waste money on another negative test. Tiff and I were running around when she convinced me to get a test at CVS on the way back to her apartment. So I did the test and read the negative result. I was not too disappointed, but I was concerned and thought I would have to see my gynecologist in a few days if I still didn't have my period.
So, I am sitting on her couch while she is in the bathroom getting ready to leave and I am looking at the side of the box with the remaining test inside where it shows how to read the results and I realized...hmmm I think I messed up. So, I dug the test out of the trash and sure enough I really was pregnant. Tiff came out of the bathroom and I pretty much threw the stick across the counter at her. I was shaking and didn't know what to do with myself. I'm glad she was there because I probably would have freaked out if I was home alone.
We then drove to Barnes and Noble to get a "Dad's Guide to Pregnancy"book. I wrapped the book with the test and when Jesse came home from work I gave him the gift. He was a little confused at first because he had never looked at a pg test before and didn't know what I was giving him. We both cried and discussed when to tell people etc. I knew we should wait a while because of the risk of miscarriage, but I was too excited. This all seems like years ago, these months have gone by soooo fast. I hope you all are doing well!
