It all started 7 months ago...

A few days before our 5th anniversary, my husband and I found out that we were pregnant. We were thrilled! And caught a little off guard. You see, while we had been trying , we didn't expect it. My cycles have always been irregular. My doctor was getting ready to put me on a medication to try to make it easier for us to conceive. In fact, I had already filled the prescription and had it ready to go. When I had talked to the nursed at my doctor's office, she had recommened that I take a pregnancy test "just in case". Well let me tell you - the fact that it came back positive was quite a shock! When I saw the two lines, I didn't believe it at first. I immediatly put the test down and walked away, thinking - it says it takes up to 3 minutes before you get accurate results. LOL! I was in such denial. Of course my hubby wasn't home, so I sat in shock for a good 45 minutes before he pulled into the driveway. I was very relieved to see that my daughter was sleeping soundly in the car and was able to spill the beans to my hubby right away! Needless to say, I cried. A baby - one that we had waited for such a long time! To me, this was a true miracle. We kept it quiet. We didn't let many friends or family know. We chose to wait for a few weeks. On my 29th birthday, we let my parents know - and they were thrilled for us. 6 weeks later, I let the world know on facebook. Then we waited and waited and waited to find out the sex of the child. 4 months of uneventful waiting and planning.
