One of the best days was a year ago today, 18th July 2010. The previous day we had been to a family reunion and hiking with Heather and Gavin. We had been trying for a baby, but decided to stop trying (but weren't preventing) for a couple of months as we figured that timing would go better with school.
On Sunday the 18th as we made dinner I made a joke to Brett that I should take pregnancy test. Whilst he was out Home Teaching I realized I had one left over from previous months and thought "Why not?". I took test...it was negative. Then as I sat waiting for Brett to come home I questioned what the test said, I didn't have the instructions left so I wasn't exactly sure what was positive and what was negative. I tried looking it up on online, but had no luck.
When Brett came home I told him of the dilemma, we decided that even though it was a Sunday we would go to Walgreens and get another test. So I came home and took another...it was a dud, nothing showed up. That meant some more drinking and more waiting before I could take the 2nd test in the box. Finally I needed to pee again...another dud! SERIOUSLY?!?!
So once again we ventured to Walgreens, I drank some more and we played card games to pass the time. Finally on the 4th test we got a positive result. We were kind of shocked as we had made plans to wait, but were excited at the same time!
The next morning I took another test just to be sure and then we went to the Student Health Center to have them check. After 6 pregnancy tests we could officially say we were pregnant. Then the journey began. We waited until 12 weeks to tell people other than our parents, I was sick a ton and 9 months felt like forever. Now our little Munchkin is 4 months old this week and the journey was so worth it!
We love our little guy, and love that we get to spend forever with him!
