Reflecting

I was just looking at the pregnancy test that's on our header. (And yes, that is the actual test that told us we were pregnant!) I remember the emotions that I felt, the disbelief and excitement! I thought the test was broken, because it had a little blinking clock that was blinking well past the expected time for a result. So I start reading the directions...maybe I missed a step or I broke it. (Although really there's just two steps, pee and wait). Then when I look back, it says yes+. I just stared. And then I cried! It was Chris' 30th birthday, and he was on his way home. I had minutes to come up with something, so I grabbed a gift bag and hid the test in some tissue paper. When he saw I had one last gift for the day, he thought I had purchased some bike accessory that he was wanting. But when he saw it, the same disbelief and excitement washed over his face. It felt so surreal. I don't think either one of us really believed it at first. We wanted this, we were trying...but to see it actually happen was amazing.

Now the baby is growing so much. I thought the day would never come when I could feel this baby move, but just the other day Aunt Lenny could even see baby move on Skype! Baby is growing so much, and our 3rd trimester is rapidly approaching. I love being pregnant, heartburn and all! We've waited a long time for this baby, and I'm glad we did. But I'm so happy that baby is finally on its way!
