Ignore the publish date of these few posts. I decided to start this blog a little late in the pregnancy but need to catch you guys up to speed.
Jay had been home from deployment all of about 7 weeks before we found out we got our wish of a homecoming baby. Jay and I were getting ready to AMC flight it home to Ohio for D and Amy's wedding, which happen to be right about the time we could test to see if we were pregnant.
I was 1 day late and wasn't feeling any symptoms but wanted to test so that way when we got home we would have the news to tell family in person. We had bought a 2pack of E.P.T from the NEX that night, Jay was so anxious for me to take one that he talked me into doing it that night even though I wanted to wait until morning since first morning urine is stronger and would most likely get our positive then. I gave in and started thinking well since it was a 2pack I could take one tonight, if it was negative then I could take the other one in the morning.
So at about 10:30pm November 4th I peed on that first test stick. I put the cap on it, set in on top of the toilet and walked out of the room and started timing.
I had already set my mind to it being negative so that I wasn't to disappointed when I only saw one line. 3 or 4 minutes had past and I walked back in, holding my breath only to see two beautiful bright pink lines.
There was no mistaking that it was positive. I didn't even know what to say when I walked out of the bathroom to tell Jay, I just sort of flailed my arms and told him to come here. He jumped out of bed, walked into the bathroom to see the test and the look on his face was priceless. He had the "holy shit/OMG/scared as hell" look.
We hugged each other for the longest time, I think because neither of us knew what to say. Neither of us could actually believe that we were pregnant, even though we had been wanting it for the longest time.
Once it sunk in a little bit we took the other test just to make sure, and sure enough another BFP.
We decided to call my mom that night, mainly because we couldn't keep it a secret and she was the only family member that we wouldn't be seeing when we went home.
