I started thinking I might be pregnant when:
I didn't think I would be pregnant at all. It was the third month that Joe and I were trying to conceive, and we were both already thinking ahead to the next month and when we could start trying again. My boobs did hurt a little but nothing else was really out of the ordinary.

I found out I was pregnant when I:
I was two days late and took a pregnancy test Friday night after work.
|
|
| |
I felt:
stunned. and light-headed, for a second I felt like I was going to pass out. so grateful that God gave us a gift so wonderful as this.
I think I stood still in the bathroom for about five minutes, I didn't know what to do.

The first person I told was:
Joe. My heart was beating really fast. I walked down from upstairs and sat on the bottom steps with a book in my hands. It was one that I had purchased online back in June when Joe and I decided to go off birth control called "The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips, and Advice for Dads-to-Be." He didn't even know that I had bought it, and when he finally walked around the corner and saw me sitting on the stairs, I handed him the book and said, "You might want to start reading this".

They reacted by:
"What?! Are you serious? Then a huge smile and big hug. Followed by more "really?"'s and "are you sure?". I showed him the test and the instructions. I also took a test the following morning and showed him that as well. and myself, I was partly in denial still too. Joe is so excited and supportive. I know he's going to be a great dad.

The first ultrasound was:
haven't even called the doctor yet.
|
|
| |
My baby will be born:
sometime in June
|
|
| |
My hopes:
for a healthy baby, hopefully a girl, joe wants a boy. deep down we really don't care either way, we're gonna have more than one anyway, God willing.
|
|
| |
My fears:
none besides normal concerns, all of which I bring to God, who reassures me that there is no need to worry.
