The Day We Found Out We Were Pregnant

Well, I thought that it would be fun to tell you all how Greg and I found out we were pregnant.  But first let me tell you that we had always planned on starting to "not" not try to get pregnant in April.  We didnt really tell anyone because we wanted our families to be completely surprised, and we figured it would take us at least 6 months to get pregnant because of my thyroid condition and we just didnt think that we would be so lucky!  So anyway, March rolls around and for all you married people out there, if you arent on birth control sex is really not all that fun because its like "fake" sex!  The alternatives to birth control just plain stink!  haha... So one night we said, oh well!  Lets just do it!  And, so we did!!  It was fantastic and we just enjoyed ourselves without a care in the world!  (lol...I hope this information isnt too much for some of you!)  Well needless to say we got pregnant that month :-)

It was Easter weekend and we had just arrived to my parents house to spend the weekend with them and my brother.  Friday was like any normal day except I noticed that my breasts were a little sore.  "Oh well," I thought.  I must just be getting ready to start my period.  Well Saturday rolls around and as we were sitting around the dinner table I started to have cramps, like the kind you get when you are on your period and hurt!  Except there was one problem...I wasnt on my period!  I thought this was really odd because it has never happened before when I have not been on my period.  I told Greg and he immediately jumped to conclusions..."Well, when was the last time you have been on your period?" he said.  I thought about it for a moment and I couldnt remember!!  So, for those of you who know me you know that with my thyroid I was on my period about every 2 weeks!!!!  And so for me to not remember was a big deal!  I started to wonder and so I looked up pregnancy symptoms online because I thought there is not way that I could be pregnant this fast!  I can remember reading the words: Pregnancy symptoms- tender breasts, cramping as if to start your period, fatigue, mood swings, etc.  I thought oh my goodness I have those symptoms!  So mind you we are with my family in Claremont and I cant get too excited because I dont want anyone to find out so we kinda just brush it off and put it in the back of our minds.

Easter Sunday!  Greg and I woke up that morning excited and ready to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus at the Pomona Fair Grounds!  Feeling nervous from my findings the night before I just got ready as usual and headed off to church.  Well, it wasnt even 2 minutes after we started singing the first song "He is Risen!" that I started to bawl my eyes out!  Haha, oh brother, now I'm emotional over a song?!  Well, this isnt always far off from the truth so again I just brushed it off and kept on singing.  The entire day with my family was kind of a blur from there.  The whole day I felt emotional (more than usual), and little things made me angry.  I just wanted to get back to Bakersfield to pee on that stick and find out for sure!! 

Greg and I left my parents house around 5:30 and arrived back in Bakersfield at our house around 8:00pm.  I walked in the door, ran up the stairs (descretely because I didnt want Greg to know what I was doing), took out the pregnancy test, and peed on it!  I set it on the floor and started to unpack as I waited because I was nervous.  After about five minutes I went back to that little stick and guess what I saw........2 RED LINES!!!!!!!  Oh my goodness I had an immediate feeling of awe and shock and a huge smile filed my face!!  I could hardly contain my excited and I immediately thought, should I tell Greg?!  I didnt know if I should wait and tell him a cute way or if I should just tell him.  Well, I am a terrible liar and so I marched myself downstairs with the biggest smile on my face and just help out that little stick to him.  Greg's words were, "No way..."  I said, yep!  And the rest is history...

That night we prayed to ask God to protect our little bean and that He would start preparing us to become Godly parents.  Happiest day of our lives :)
