day one

Wow! I still can't believe that we are expecting a baby!!!! Travis & I are still in shock.

I really wish that I could share this experience with so many of my family and friends that aren't close...thus this blog. I want to keep you all posted with everything that is going on in the life of baby e!

When we found out

On Sunday, September 7th, I just had a feeling like I might be pregnant. It wasn't quite time to be able to tell yet (even with the 5 day before tests) but I thought...what the heck! I went to walgreens and bought a box of 3 tests since I just knew that this one would be negative...I would need a few more over the next few days.

I went home and took the test and just left it in the bathroom without even looking at it because I just KNEW that it was going to be negative. I had been excited and let down 3 months before, so I was learning my lesson.

About 10 minutes later, I remembered it and went back in to check. I kept telling myself, "it's negative, don't get your hopes up". I picked the test up, and there was a faint up and down line making a positive sign. I couldn't believe it. I immediately grabbed the instructions and read them to be sure. The line was so faint, but I knew that if there was a line at ALL, we were pregnant.

I ran and grabbed my phone and called Lisa. All I could say was, "I see a blue line!" she didn't know what in the world I was talking about. I had to say it 3 times before she realized! She was in a store and started crying!!! We were so excited. She reassured me that if there was a line, then I was indeed pregnant. I suddenly realized that I needed to go and tell Travis, so I hung up and ran into the living room. I grabbed him by the hand and said "come with me". He kept asking "What, what" but I just pulled him along.

When we got into the bathroom, I held up the test and said "do YOU see that blue line??" he looked closely and said "yes, what does that mean?" and I whispered, "I think it means YES!". He then grabbed the instruction manual and read it as well. I was shaking and saying over and over...you can't get a false positive!!! It's a yes. It was amazing.

Travis really wanted us to keep it a secret for a few weeks...but I just couldn't. His mom and dad called to say Hi, and I begged and begged to tell them. He finally shook his head and said "do what you must". So I told them! after that...it was all down hill :) I guess it's to be known...I can't keep a secret!

But basically...I'm over the moon excited!

just for you all that want proof. Unfortunately, I wanted allot of proof. I'm sad to say...this was no. 6!
