I was working from home last Wednesday and I had gotten up really early, I think it was before 6. I'm still not really sure what prompted me to take the test, I only had one left and my period wasn't due till Saturday. I also had zero symptoms or indications that I was pregnant. I was just feeling anxious I guess and wanted an answer. I had actually been complaining the day before to Mike that I was feeling sad because I knew I'd be getting my period later that week and he was cheering my up. I had also (I think it was the night before) finally looked up online a fertility doctor in the city a friend from work had recommended to. I had checked out the office and was seriously thinking about making us an appointment.
Like I said for whatever reason when I got up I took the test and then went about my business, not even waiting for the results to come up, just figuring it was going to be negative. When I looked at the test and saw the positive I couldn't believe it. I was shaking a little and had a tear or two. I was def surprised that's for sure. I really didn't have a game plan on how I wanted to tell Mike at that point but I knew I couldn't wait. Mike was downstairs in the family room watching tv. I went downstairs and had straightened up for a few minutes in the kitchen trying to stay calm, but didn't say anything yet at this point.
I then took Rocky upstairs and our dry erase board up to the bedroom. I put Rocky on the chair and wrote the following message "Mom says to tell you I am going to be a big brother." I snapped the picture and texted it to Mike. I then came downstairs but he hadn't seen his phone yet at this point. I said to him "look at the really cute picture I just took of Rocky I just sent it to you." He was not interested in the picture. His first response was "I'll look at it later." I had to probe him at least two or three more times and was like will you please look at the picture now, I want you to see it. He finally gave in, although I think bc he knew I wasn't going to leave him alone and it was easier just to entertain me.
He looked at the picture and looked at me and must have said "wait, what?, seriously, and for real" at least 10 times. I don't think he could believe it although neither could I. He then got up and gave me the biggest and longest hug ever. I was shaking at that point. I think we were both in a state of shock. We really did it. Almost a year later, it worked! And here I am pregnant. It was the best story. I wish I had it on tape so I could relieve it again and again, it was a pretty cool surprise that's for sure! (The funniest part too is Rocky looks pissed in the picture, LOL, his days of being a spoiled only child are coming to an end)
