I'm pregnant! (April 30th, 2015)

  The day we moved out of our apartment was also the day we found out that I am pregnant. On April 30th, my husband was at school and I was out getting last minute errands done for our move later that day. I was exhausted and couldn't figure out why. While out on my errands, I stopped and got a Mountain Dew from Taco Bell so that I could have enough energy to get through the crazy busy day. After drinking about half of the cup of Mountain Dew, I felt sick to my stomach. This was really weird because caffeine never affects me this way. I started thinking about how I might be getting sick. That's when I got the strong feeling to get a pregnancy test when I made a stop at Winco.
   While driving to Winco, I was trying not to get my hopes up because we had been trying to get pregnant and I had been regularly checking to no avail. I didn't want to see the negative sign again and feel the disappointment that comes with it. On the drive though, I kept almost daydreaming about my husband and I holding a baby and playing with a baby. At Winco, I almost forgot to get the test too. I bought some of those blackhead strips to do at the same time as the pregnancy test so that if it was negative, I would have something to redirect my attention. I got home and first thing I did was put a strip on my nose and take the pregnancy test out of the box. I took the test and set it down on the sink. I looked at it and watched the results come up. First, I saw the negative sign. I almost wanted to cry. I looked away and picked up the test to throw it away. Suddenly I had the feeling to look at it one more time. I almost didn't because I thought I would cry. But I looked at it and saw, faintly at first, the rest of the plus sign appearing in the window of the test. I gasped and my jaw dropped. "Oh. My.... ohmygoshohmygosh!"
  I had planned on revealing it to my husband in a really cute way, but I was too excited. I was laughing and shaking. My husband was still in class and I texted him to answer my call in a minute. He answered and I said "Guess what?"
"What?"
"I took a pregnancy test, and I'm PREGNANT."
-Silence-
"Really?"
"Yeah"
I could hear the smile on his face.
"Holy crap!"
Then he started to laugh and kept saying things like "Wow!" :)
Later that day we decided it would be okay to tell my dad. We did, and we told his dad.
It was a wonderful day we will never forget. Baby Meyers is due January 3rd, 2016.
