I Think That Means You Are Pregnant

After reading multiple blogs of all types, I decided that becomming a blogger myself may be just the thing that BJ and I need to help us share our feelings and emotions over the next nine months. As many of you know, BJ and I grew up together and became best friends in the 7th grade. We attended church together and went to the same High School. We began dating during our Junior year of college and got married on May 13, 2006. That means we have been married for 3 1/2 years now! We have both learned alot in the past 3 years, and have much more to learn in the upcoming year. BJ and I were starting to talk about having children, but we were not planning to start trying until sometime next year. This past Monday my body seemed a little out of whack and something just felt weird. BJ was at the gym, and I had just gotten home from working in Cullman. For some reason I felt the need to take a pregnancy test, although I was fully confident that it would come back negative. I recently had surgery so every time I feel bad or weird I blame it on the surgery. I thought that the feelings I was having this week were also a result of my body adjusting after my operation. After taking the test I glanced down to look at the result and my entire body went numb as a + sign appeared in the test window. I immediately thought that the test was wrong and waited impatiently for BJ to get home so I could fill him in on the news. After telling him the symptoms I had experienced that day, and telling him about the test I had taken, I told him , "I think I might be pregnant." (in tears) After the initial shock, I proceded to take another test to get his opionion. The second test came back positive but it wasn't real clear. The blue line was not REALLY blue (but there was definately a line). I made BJ come look at it to make sure I was seeing correctly and his response was, "I think that means you're pregnant."

After a week of no sleep and many mixed emotions, I finally went to the doctor for another confirmation. After the Nurse Practitioner came in and told me Congratulations, everything began to feel real. This pregnancy came completely unplanned, so we have had a very hard time accepting the fact that we are going to have a child. This is something that we have both always wanted, but never dreamed of having this week. We both share the same feeling that we wanted to have our first child on our own time, when we felt we were ready. This pregnancy has just been a reminder to both of us that God has a bigger and better plan in place for us. He has blessed us with this baby, and He has given it to us on His time. Therefore, we shall be grateful.
