Positive Pregnancy Test - March 23rd

    After stopping birth control pills at the beginning of August, we have thought we were pregnant quite a few times.  We weren't trying but we weren't preventing. We knew we were at the point in our lives that a new addition to the family would be a blessing.  In January I had a super super long cycle and even tested at home 3 times....all were negative.  By day 46, after having normal 28 day cycles, I thought it would be best to get a blood pregnancy test on January 28th, which came back negative.  I was really bummed because I had think I had talked myself into being pregnant so I was sad when I wasn't.  I had my annual check-up on February 26th and talked about what had happened.  She thought it was either a missed ovulation or a miscarriage but didn't have any way to tell.  She said that I would be back on her schedule for a new pregnancy check-up the next month....and she was right!

   The next month I waited and waited to take a pregnancy test. I didn't want what happened the month before to happen again.  I didn't even realize that I had missed a cycle until Jason pointed out that I was gagging a lot and didn't have much energy.  Once I counted how many days it had been we were shocked! It had been another 46 days!  We went to the store on March 23rd pretty late at night and bought a couple of tests. I was really mad because I didn't want to spend the money when the dollar store ones worked just fine.

   I figured I would take the test the next morning and surprise Jason with the results but we couldn't wait.  It was the most suspenseful couple of minutes of my life! I left Jason in the front room and made him wait a lot longer than I should.  He said that I took "FOREVER!!!"  When I saw the first little line show up I didn't know what to think. I just breathed in and out really slowly and looked in the mirror. I couldn't believe it!        When I finally could make sense of what was happening I went out to see Jason.  I asked him, "What do you think?"  He said, "I  don't care! Just tell me!!!"  I gave him the test and started grinning.  After a few minutes of shock and deep breathing exercises we finally calmed down. WE'RE PREGNANT!!!!! (6 weeks pregnant to be exact)
