John and I have been trying to conceive since December 2014. Unfortunately, it didn't happen the first time. I have been tracking my ovulation every month and I knew that my period was suppose to come on March 10. However, I was very anxious and was going to a girls night out that weekend before so I went to Walmart and got a box of three pregnancy test. Now this wasn't my first time getting a pregnancy test and I made the mistake the first time buying a box of two test. Being new to taking a pregnancy test, the first time I took it I thought I did it wrong and only had one more test. So this time, in case I messed up, I bought three!
So before I went out for the girls wine night out I took a pregnancy
test, just in case I was pregnant. However, it was negative. I was of
course disappointed, but I took it four days before my missed period, so
I was still hopeful. Now John was working this weekend, so I wanted to
take another one on Sunday, so in case it was positive I was able to
prepare a big surprise. So I took the second one on Sunday and like
before it was negative. So since I was smart this time and bought a box
of three pregnancy test I left the last one to take on the day I was
suppose to get my period in case it didn't come. Now, my periods are
very regular and I knew if I didn't get it by the afternoon the day it
was due that it was a good probability that I was pregnant.
Anxiously,
on my break I went to the bathroom and took the test. Looking at it,
the test quickly turned positive and I was so excited!!!! Just like you
see it in the movies, I started to cry tears of joy! So quickly, I went
to my computer and started creating the items that I wanted to make to
surprise John.
Now, it was taking a little longer
than I expected to make it, so I told John that I had to stay a little
later at work to finish up some things. I also wanted to stop by Walmart
to get some things to decorate the surprise. I had to tell John today
because he was going to work for the next two days and when he goes to
work he has to stay overnight. Plus, my dad was coming into town
Thursday, so I wanted to have the chance to tell John alone and enjoy
the surprise together.
Everything was falling into
place. I felt like God really wanted us to be pregnant this month
because my dad was coming into town and it was a great surprise to give
him since we recently booked the trip.
After work, I
went to Walmart and picked up another pregnancy test (just in case). I
picked one that read the words "pregnant" and "not pregnant" so it was
easy for him to read. Also, I picked up a gift bag and some decorations
to make everything look nice. After I purchased the items, I went to the
bathroom to take the pregnancy test because John was home and I knew I
wasn't going to have all the privacy in the world to take it.
When
the test showed "pregnant" I was even more excited. I had the second
confirmation. So in the parking lot I got everything ready and stuffed
the gift bag in my purse so John wouldn't see it when I got home.
I
was lucky when I got home because John was in the bedroom on the phone
so it gave me some time to get things ready. I quickly put everything on
the table and waited for John to get off the phone. When he left the
bedroom I told him I got him a gift and handed him the card.
If
you know me, I love taking pictures, so it wasn't a surprise to John
that I was taking pictures of him reading the card. After he read the
card, I don't think he fully understood what it meant. But, as soon as
he opened the present, he quickly knew. He was very excited and happy!
