the day we found out


So today my BBT temperature has been up for 17 days. With all of my Google knowledge, I figured I’d test tomorrow at 18. I couldn’t stop thinking about it all morning/ I’m feeling crappy. Lori said go get one at lunch and just try it. I thought no silly! Tomorrow is day 18-when Google says I should test….well I did. Of course. I went to Walgreen’s at lunch and in the second floor bathroom (for privacy) took the test. At first I had it turned the wrong way, upside-down and thought-oh great I got a defective one…. THEN I flipped it over (duh) and saw two lines-one lighter than the other BUT there were two lines. For the first time EVER. I fished the directions out of my purse to make SURE that one lighter line than the other is POSITIVE. According to the directions…. it is POSITIVE. I started shaking my heart was pounding so hard I could hear it. I almost screamed in the stall. OMIGOSH. I had to regain my composer and go back to work. I went up to my correct floor and told Lori right away-for the record she was the very first person to know…. I even showed her the test…thinking she’ll say nope-one is lighter than the other. She said it’s POSITIVE! All day I’ve been absent minded spilling things-giddy and overwhelmed.

I’m so excited and at the same times apprehensive. I have a Dr. appt. January 3rd. (they seem to believe the generic test I took too). Shelley the nurse said MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I have to admit that I’m nervous that this is all some cruel joke. I’ve wanted this so badly and Brian and I are so ready-if it turns out not to be true I will be so sad.
But I’m going to think positive!
…and take another test tomorrow morningJ

Later that night I took another positive test and decided it was time to tell Brian. I called him to please come upstairs for a second…as soon as he did I showed him the test. “Oh, are you ovulatin’?” He has come to know those ovulation predictor tests well. I shook my head and smiled…He got the biggest grin and his eyes got huge. Oh boy he said. I said it looks like we’re pregnant! We hugged and kissed and just stood there kind of dumbfounded (for me a second time that day)!
