About Mommy. . .before she was Mommy.

I will never forget the day I found out about my little man. And the reason I'll never forget it is because I started a blog last year at that time. Unfortunately, work got busy and I got more pregnant and tired so I did not keep up with it, but thought I'd repost that post because it makes me smile:

Sunday, January 30, 2011Baby?
Thursday started out as any normal day would. We got a phone call from the county telling us schools were closed due to the weather and we both happily rolled over and went back to sleep. I spent most of the day lounging around watching HGTV. I had falled into a good two hours of 'A Baby Story' and 'Bringing Home Baby' when I ventured to the bathroom and, on a whim, decided to take a test I had been storing for future use. I expected to see the one, dark control line and after 5 minutes, throw the test away and continue with my day off. So when a second line started to slowly appear, I had to look twice. It was definitely faint but definitely there. So I scrambled for the directions from the book and my hands were shaking. Finally, I called my hubby upstairs to get his opinion. I did not tell him I had even purchased these tests so I told him as he made his way up the stairs. When I asked him what he saw on the screen, he said he saw two lines. We both were still not convinced so with that, my husband dug out the car and I headed to Walgreens. With two more confirmations (and then one the following morning) we were pretty convinced this was the real thing!

My first doctor's appointment is not until February 23rd, since that will be my 7th week. I was surprised by that but apparently 4 positives are good enough evidence. We have been trying to keep our cool thus far, since it is SUPER early and we don't want to fall into a disappointment is anything happens. I do not feel pregnant, although I do feel a little more tired than usual.

The next 5 days are going to be incredibly difficult, since we are heading to NJ on Saturday morning to share the news with both sets of grandparents. I cannot imagine my mom's reaction. . . it will be priceless.
