The picture is upside down, but it doesn't have to be right side up to see those two beautiful, crystal clear pink lines. I am ecstatic, and I can NOT wait to tell John.
The past week or so, I haven't been feeling the best. I've been really bloated, and felt like I gained back all the weight I lost not too long ago. I've also been having some weird dreams, all about taking pregnancy tests that have had positive results. Last night's dream was SO vivid though and I can't get over it. I dreamt that I took a test, and right away both pink lines showed up nice & strong. I freaked out! In the dream, when John got home from work that night, he was cleaning out his lunch box, when I came up to him. I pulled the test out of my pocket and gave it to him, and he freaked. I woke up last night at one point thinking, "Thank God I'm finally pregnant!" Quickly I realized I was just dreaming and I felt so sad. All day today, I've wondered why that dream was so strong... I checked my horoscope, and this is what it said:
Why are you doing whatever you're doing today? That might seem like a simple question, but you've actually got more to think about than usual when you're doing so -- things are different now.
So I feel kinda crappy, I'm having crazy dreams, and my horoscope says things are different... I have been wrong about being pregnant before, but I just couldn't shake that feeling in my gut that this time is different. So, I knew it was time to take a test! I went home after running some errands and whipped out one of my cheap Dollar Tree tests. I took the test then left it in the bathroom while I carried about my business. I wasn't nervous or excited about seeing the test results because I just expected to see the negative result again. I walked in the bathroom, and those two pink lines were staring back at me. I thought I was going to pass out! My whole body started shaking and I burst into tears. I cried outloud (to myself), "Are you kidding me?!!" It's real. I'm really pregnant. We are going to have a baby!!!! I got back in the car kind of laughing to myself that I'm just carrying on with life as if nothing is new! I called Dr. Avison's office and talked to Nicole who scheduled me an appointment for next Tuesday (or Wed?!) at 2pm. I told her "my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant and I got a positive test result" and she goes "Awwwww!" So, technically, she was the first person I told and it was awesome. After that I went to Presents of Mind to buy a "Made in Portland" onesie (NOT cheap, by the way!!!!) because I've always wanted to give that to John when I tell him we're going to have a baby. I'm going roll the test up in the onesie so when John pulls it out, the test will fall. It's only 5:20 and he's not home until about 9! I can't wait. He is going to be so excited.
It's so crazy how your body knows subconsciously and then tries to tell you, like through dreams! Being in tune with your body and how you feel, I think you totally knew deep down. I am loving reading this so far--on to post 2! :)
