My BIG FAT POSITIVE!!!

Since I didn't want to forget about this day (thanks Jess!), I'm going to post what I posted on a message board the day I found out I was pregnant with Pen.  The day was Wednesday, 9/3/08 and after 11months of trying to conceive, and one day before our appt with a specialist, I finally got a positive pregnancy test!!!  For the record, she was conceived on the weekend of 8/22/08 and here is what followed!!!  :) 



I'm sick today though, actually have been sick over the weekend. Sore throat, low grade fever, tired...so I came home early today. Before I came home, I had to swing by the OB to pick up my paperwork to take to the RE tomorrow. So once I got that, I decided to stop at the drug store and buy some medicine, cough drops and a Preg test since I was out. I WAS on a break.......

So much for my break!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it!!!!! It took less than one minute for this thing to blare the word PREGNANT at me!! If I hadn't already peed, I would have peed my pants!! I was shaking!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if you can tell, but P's shirt says "Big Sister". The balloons are for DH. He doesn't know yet and we're waiting til he comes home!!!!!! OMG, I still can't believe it.

Shaking, the first thing I did was text my friend Amy to tell her the news since we'd been trying to get preggo for what seemed like FOREVER!  I sent her the pic and I think she was as shocked as I was!  Then I tried calling my mom.  I tried her cell.  No luck.  Her home.  No luck.  The cell again.  And again.  And again.  I kept getting voicemail and I didn't want to tell her in a message.  So I asked her to call me back.  When she finally did, I played it calm.  "Hey Mom, how are you doing?"  "Pretty good, how are you?" "I'M PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"   We both laughed!  It was GREAT!!!!   Then I went and bought the balloons for M.  I wanted something to put on the porch to announce the pregnancy!  I had bought P1 a shirt that read "Big Sister" on it and she was quickly outgrowing it so against my better judgment, I shared the news with her when I picked her up from school!  I wanted her to wear the shirt when daddy came home!!  When he walked in, the first thing she said was "Daddy, Look at my shirt!  I'm going to be a big sister!!!".  He looked at me and said "Really?!" and I said yep!!  It was a beautiful moment!!!!  The rest is history and I'm so blessed to have another baby girl to add to my collection!!!
