I found out I was pregnant when I was 4 weeks and 1 day along.
I wasn't going to test that morning seeing as I was only one day late and that was pretty normal for me. Steven always gave me a hard time for testing (as I did it pretty much once a month for 2 years!) so I waited until he was in the shower.
As soon as I peed on that stick those two pink lines showed up, there was no waiting! I had always thought of cute ways I would tell Steven that he was going to be a dad. But as soon as those lines showed up it all flew out the window and I ran and stuck the test into the shower and showed him!
We both looked at each other in shock and couldn't believe it. So many different emotions running through my mind at that moment. I wasn't scared I was .. elated! This is what I had always wanted, to be a mother, give Steven a child. This was the best feeling around, I no longer felt like a failure, my body wasn't working against me for something I longed for. I was a reality.
We were going to have a BABY!
Morning sickness .. ok I lie .. ALL DAY SICKNESS kicked in right away. This was no fun, being a nanny to four kids, three of who were in school, it was hard not to throw up in front of them.
(Sadly when I was six weeks pregnant my bosses let me go, they told me they no longer needed me because the two youngest were potty trained and could go to preschool)
It was a blessing in disguise I was let go because I was able to stay home and rest, focus on keeping my baby and myself healthy. I lost 9lbs in three days.
On March 23rd we invited our mom's over for breakfast
