On November 15, 2010, our lives changed in an instant, well "at least 2 minutes" as instructed by the direction manual.
Half asleep I couldn't believe my eyes, I figured since the horizontal line was so dark and the vertical line was so faint it must have meant "negative." Aaron was still asleep, so I ran over to wake him up, to get his opinion. His response, "Yup, your pregnant, I told you" and rolled back over into dreamland. How was he so sure of those weird lines, and I could barely make them out? How could he just go back to sleep after finding out such life altering news? So I sat there in a dark, dumbfounded, and then the anxiety of it all started to hit me. It wasn't like the movies, joyous cheering, hugging, and sappy girlie shit. It was as much nerve-rackingly overwhelming as it was exciting and thrilling.
Later that afternoon I went to Planned Parenthood (Stand with Planned Parenthood!), thinking that their industrial strength pregnancy tests might turn out a different result. Once again I was wrong and I walked out with a very official looking piece of paper titled "Report of Pregnancy." Yup, that's right I was officially pregnant, or as I like to say "with-child."
As our lives are drastically changing on a daily basis (diapers and cribs oh my!), I decided to start this blog as a way to get my ideas out of my head and onto paper (so to speak). Also, its a great way to keep my friends and family, who aren't near, updated with pictures and my ramblings.
Thank you so much Emma for doing this blog. Being so far away, it will be wonderful to follow your journey -- and I'm sure your dad will be thrilled! xxoo Peggy
