My best friend, Katie, and I were talking tonight about when we found out we were pregnant. I got to thinking about how precious that memory is to me...one I never want to forget. So, I decided to blog about it.
After talking with a much-loved co-worker, Lesley Nelson, I began wondering if I could possibly be pregnant. I had been sick and my stomach was feeling really weird...she said, "You're pregnant." I said, "nope" and then continued working. But, I have to admit the thought stayed with me. "Could it be true." Nah....but, after a week or so of feeling the same way I decided maybe I should take a test. On my way home from my Mammaw's on Easter 2008 (March 23) I decided to stop and get a test. I was so embarrassed. I went to Walgreens assuming that would be the place I was least likely to run into anyone I knew, wrapped the test in a t-shirt, bought, it and high-tailed it out of there. How crazy was that...I mean I was almost 28 years old and married. I didn't want anyone to know that I was taking the test. If I wasn't pregnant I didn't want people to start pressuring me to start trying. So, I called Julie, one of my greatest friends from Pensacola. She was working on lesson plans and tried to get off the phone with me, but I wouldn't let her. I needed someone to talk to while I was waiting on the results. I didn't really know what to think. I hadn't planned on getting pregnant so if I wasn't, no big deal....but then again, I was getting a little nervous that it would be negative and then I was going to be disappointed. Well, as it turns out...it was positive. It must have been the new I was REALLY wanting because I was so excited...and nervous!! From that day on all I could think about was the baby that I was carrying and the life that I wanted to give to him or her.
