FINDING OUT WE'RE PREGNANT!

It all started the weekend I spent with Chris in Port Hueneme. For some reason I was always hungry! I'm pretty sure that I ate more than Chris. That weekend we joked about it, but neither one of us was being serious until I got back home and he said I should take a test.

I had a few under my sink and so I decided to just go ahead and take one in the morning, because I knew that early on the HCG hormone is more concentrated in the morning. Well, I woke up to pee a couple of times and thankfully I had a few tests. The first was too hard to read and it was 5 am so I probably wasn't awake enough to read it.

The second was at about 8am, but I accidentally used an ovulation test. So, then about 15 minutes later I took an actual pregnancy test. It was clear blue and so easy to read (as the name would suggest). When it read pregnant I just about died!

My parents were home still and so I ran in to the house FREAKING out! I was so excited I couldn't control myself. My mom thought that I was bringing in a dead rat.... Anyways, they were both excited to be grandparents and I quickly texted my doctor to find out what to do next.

I made an appointment for an ultra sound on my first day of the sixth week.

The only bummer thing about finding out early in the morning was I had to wait ALL day for Chris to get his phone. I sent him a picture of the test and waited for him to call.

The first thing he said to me was, "Are you joking?" Now seriously, what kind of joke is that? Cruel. He was then speechless. It was pretty awesome because I don't think he has ever been speechless before.

Then we called everyone in the immediately family to tell to them. We weren't together, but we were able to do a conference call so we were able to tell people together.
