I started out my day as any other normal day, not even having a clue that my child was forming inside of me. I had planned a girls day with my best friend and soul sister Stephanie. We were going to go out for Mexican food and yummy margaritas and some shopping, typical girls day for us but little did we know that our plans would change. 

When I showed up at her house, I had mentioned that I was two days late for my period but felt like I could start anytime. I have been a few days late before and even a week late once so being 2 days late didn't set off any alarms but I always knew there could always be the possibly. She suggested that I took one of her pregnancy test just in case, since I had planned on drinking a margarita. (I only have half of one and always eat and sit for a long time before driving behind the wheel of my car ;) Gives me just enough for a taste of it's yumminess.) 

Of course I shrugged my shoulders, thinking nothing of it because every test I have taken before had always ended up being negative and it never failed that I would start my period right afterwards. Litterally the same day, everytime. This time didn't feel any different expect that I knew there really could be a chance I was pregnant but knowing my previous luck, it would show negative. 

I started feeling sweaty and nervous at first. I was beyond happy but could not grasp that it was really happening. I was on total shock. I always thought that the day I would find out that I would cry of happiness or jump up and down but instead I just stood there and kept repeating "No, that's wrong. There's no way. I need to take another one to be sure." I was in complete shock.

Stephanie on the other hand, was acting the way I should had. She had the biggest smile on her face and kept saying "I told you so!" "I knew you would get pregnant!" "I want to tell someone, anyone, everyone!" She was so excited and happy for me but all I could do is stand and blink and beg to take another test to be sure. 

I ended up taking one of her 89 cent test she had as back up. It was the kind you have to pee in a cup and drip your pee onto it, which I thought was gross. It had two lines that meant pregnant and one line that meant negative. It was the most confusing one I've ever taken before and would not recommend anyone taking those.

While waiting I managed to bite off all of my nails and my stomach turned with nerves. I was going to be sad if this one was negative. I had drank a huge glass of orange juice and a bottle of water, trying to make myself have to use the bathroom and because of this, the test came up so faint that at first we thought it was negative. 

My heart had dropped and I felt as if I were about to bust into tears. Stephanie reassured me that I am for sure pregnant and was crazy for not thinking it myself. The second person I told was my childhood best friend and other soul sister Andrea, who kept telling me that there were no such thing as a false positive and that my hormones have to build back up since I just had used the bathroom with the first test. 

Was I going crazy? I kept checking the first test and made sure the line was still there, which it clearly was and still felt as if this wasn't real. How could I be pregnant. I mean... I know how I could be and I always kept up with my ovulation days and the days when the deed could had been done but how? Why now? I gave it one try and that was all it took? Shouldn't it be harder than this? Isn't there like a 20% chance of even getting pregnant each time you try? How was it that easy? 

I guzzled down another bottle of water and grabbed my purse, I needed answers and I wasn't going to stop until I got a for sure Yes or No. Stephanie and I hopped into my car and drove to my house, not to mention I litterally almost peed on myself while driving there which she thought was hilarious. It was not so much at the time but I crack a smile thinking of how silly I was acting, now. 

I ran through my front door, threw my purse down, grabbed the pregnancy test I had in my bathroom drawer, and waited another long dragging minute. This test had two lines that meant pregnant and one line that meant not pregnant. The test, of course, showed that I was pregnant. Crap! It was starting to sink in. Maybe I am pregnant! 

Who should I tell first? What do I do? Should I take another one? Wes, my husband, he doesn't know! Oh my goodness what is he going to say? Will he be mad because he wanted to wait? Will he be disappointed? Will he be happy and cry happy tears? 

All of a sudden I needed my mother. I wasn't sure if I was going to tell her or not and especially since I hadn't even told my own husband yet, but I had to be around her at least. I grabbed my purse again along with the three test I took, and we headed off to my mothers house. I of course, stopped at a dollar store on the way to pick up another test! 

Once we got to my mom's house I had a feeling she might pick up on my nervousness. She has always been good at reading me which I've always hated. This time I actually wished she would be able to pick up something just so that I'd have an excuse to break the news but she never did. Stephanie, who was sitting right next to me, kept texting me and begging me to tell her. Andrea was telling me via text, that it would be better to wait and tell Wes so that we could tell my mother together. What do I do?!?

Finally I couldn't take it any longer. I smiled real big, felt my hands start to shake, and said "Hey mom.... What do you think about this?" She turned around and saw the three pregnancy test I had taken. My heart felt as if it had leaped into my throat. How is she going to react? Her facial expression was blank and she was staring at the tests. Say something already Mom!

"I had a feeling." She finally said and smiled. How the heck did she have a feeling? She acted as if it were another typical day? 

"I'm not sure what to think. Do you think you are? These are awful faint. Do you have another test to take?" She rambled on as if she didn't see the dumbfounded look plastered onto my face. 

Are you serious? Now she was saying she didn't know if I was pregnant. All of a sudden I felt disappointed. Surely my mother could tell if I was or not after two positive test but no, she made me go to my car, grab the tests I just bought, and take another one. This one had a plus sign for positive and a single line for negative. It was a little faint but sure enough, it was positive.  

"Why don't we go get a blood test done just to get a for sure positive so we know.  That way we are not sitting here, guessing at pregnancy tests?" My mother had suggested and I was all for it. Playing the guessing game was starting to give me a headache. I just wanted to know already for sure and be 100% because knowing my luck, something is wrong with these test. 

We drove to the health department first but only to be told they do not do pregnancy blood test there. Then we drove to a place called AIMS which is a place in my home town that help with pregnant women and their families but they were closing and couldn't fit me in. Finally my mom drove to Walgreens and bought me a test that said "Pregant" or "Not Pregnant" so we can finally see the answer for ourselves instead of lines. 

I took the test at her house and waited not one minute but three long minutes while the test beeped and blinked. I kept staring and staring and then finally I see the word "Pregnant" pop onto it's screen. That was when it hit me. No litterally, I threw back in my chair as if some invisible ghost had punched me in the face. 

It's true. I am pregnant. Holy crap I'm pregnant! I'm going to be a mom! 

Tears began forming in my eyes and I looked from my best friend to my mother. "I'm pregnant mom!" 

"I freaking told you!" Stephanie said with a huge grin on her face. 

"That's good honey." Was my mothers expression. She was not jumping up and down and she defiantly did not cry. All she did was stand there and smile, that was it. I blinked back my tears and studied her. 

"You just found out you are a going to be a grandmother and that is what you say?" I puzzled. 

"Oh you know me. I never show my emotions very good. I'm happy honey." 

That is my mother for you. Typical reacation from her. She had done the very same thing when Wes and I had told her were had planned to get married. 

After that exciting day, I dropped Stephanie off at her house and appolgized at least 12 times about taking up the whole day to pee on 5 different pregnancy test. If only I had listened to her the first time, we could had went out to eat to celebrate instead.

On my way home, the questions about Wes' reaction started playing inside my mind. At first I saw him get mad that I tricked him into getting me pregnant, which by I did not trick him but he loves to say I did. ;). Then I see him getting happy and picking me up into a tight hug. I had no idea what his reaction was going to be and it was making me very nervous. 

Once I pulled into the drive way, I blinked away tears, and took a deep breath. I knew how I was going to approach this. I smiled the best fake smile I had and gave him a hug and kiss. 

Then I quickly walked towards the bathroom and grabbed all five test out of my purse. Here we go!

I hid them behind my back and walked up behind him, tapped his shoulder, and when he turned around I showed him my handful of pregnancy test. Thinking about this day again is bringing back nervous jitters. 

"What are you showing me right now?" He had said and stared at the five test. 

"Babe I'm pregnant!" 

"What? No your not. Your lying." He joked and shook his head. 

I grabbed the test that said "Pregnant" and shoved it towards his face. "Yes I am, look!" That is when my tears started to pour. The smile on his face was the most amazing smile I had ever seen. He hugged me so tight and wouldn't let go for a long time and I felt all of my nerves of the day go away. He was happy and I was stupid to think he would be mad. 

"I still want you to take a test in the morning." He whispered and I shoved his away. 

"Are you kidding me? I took five test today! I didn't even believe it until I took the one that said Pregnant!" 

Seriously! He was going into shock just like I was. This is going to be such a fun adventure with him for sure. :) Of course the test in the morning was positive and it finally sunk in for him. We have been very excited ever since. Every experience is different and I wouldn't trade mine for the world. Going and wasting money on test after test was worth the memories. 

Finally! I am going to be a mother. 

My best friend Stephanie and I at my mother's house that day.
