{the hidden baby journals} week 4

March 10, 2010




I'm pregnant! I'm freaking out just a little, but I'm so happy, so excited and cannot wait to share this journey with all of you.

Right now, baby is the size of a poppyseed, according to The Bump. So tiny! Cannot believe that there is a little human growing inside of me.

Jason and I have always wanted children and decided that no time would ever be the right time. So instead of worrying about when we would start trying and getting anxious and worried about when it would happen (or not happen), we decided to just see what happens. We left it up to God and didn't worry about when the perfect time would be.

After being a week late, and hearing about babies left and right through Facebook, blogs, etc, I stopped at Wal-greens on the way home to buy a HPT. I came home and said, "Look what I got!" Jason said "What the heck is that?!?" I took the test, feeling pretty good, and within seconds my heart started to pound. All I could think was, what if this thing is positive? Our lives were two minutes away from changing dramatically.

Before I had time to think, I saw a faint pink line start to appear. I ran to the living room to show Jason. He looked at it and said, "Let me read those instructions." Then he spent the next five minutes comparing the test to the photos in the instruction booklet. He responded with, "Well wife, it looks like we're having a baby!"

I made a doctor appointment for the following day to confirm. I took another test there and it was still faint with them, so they had to take a blood test. The next morning they called with the results - positive!
