Do you see what I see????

Um....NO.....was Matt and my response as the doctor asked us almost exactly 1 month ago. To our surprise on our 4th wedding anniversary we found out we are going to be the proud parents of not just one baby that we had been trying for for a year, but two babies! Let me backup just a bit. We've been trying to have a baby since Thanksgiving of last year. I was getting very frustrated and the worrier in me was telling me that we will never be able to have a baby. At my 1st doctor appointment to discuss our fertility issues the nurse said to me "sometimes this appointment is all it takes" at the time, I wanted to punch her. What I hated most when I was trying to get pregnant was people telling me that it will happen when its supposed to. I'm a firm believer in this statement but at the time it was the last thing I wanted to hear. No one knows that it will even be able to happen. There are plenty of couples in the world that cannot have children and no one can determine why. At this point I figured this was us for sure. I know, I know, negative attitudes get you no where but sometimes its easier said than done to turn that around.

So...after that appointment I began scheduling the blood tests that I needed to do and just waited until I could dot he next horrible test that they were going to make me do. 3 days before I was scheduled to get my period I was performing my 2nd wedding so I figured I'd better just take a test just to be sure I'm on the safe side for drinking that night. I took a generic test that had a super faint 2nd line. I almost cried, but mostly my blood pressure just skyrocketed! I went into our bedroom where naturally Matt was still laying in bed even though we needed to get going for the day and showed him the stick and said "there is a very good chance that I'm just crazy because I want this to be a positive, but there is also a chance I'm pregnant" As always he defaults to "your just crazy, I don't see anything" so I convinced him that there was in fact something there and that it was probably just so faint because it was too early for me to be taking a test so I not so patiently waited for my nearest Walgreens to open and marched myself in there and bought the early detecting ones. I got home and drank a huge glass of water and took a shower. Then I was ready to pee!!! I peed in a cup because I had 2 tests and knew I would want to take them both, you know....just to be sure....but wouldn't be able to produce enough pee to do this. So....I dipped stick numero uno and voila! 2 pink lines appeared!!!! while the 2nd line was turning I started crying and dipped the 2nd test which was a digital one and that one came out yes right away!! So I marched myself downstairs to my nonbeliever husband and put the sticks on the counter (which has since been cleaned) and told him that he can relax, I'm not crazy, but I am in fact pregnant!!!

Anyway - lots to catch up on so I'll be sure to become more regular now that I've officially announced it on here to all of my followers all of which already know all of this ;)
