One year ago...

A lot happens in a year, but you never really notice it until you sit down & think about it.

February 21st, 2009 I was in the middle of planning my wedding & honeymoon.
February 21st, 2010 I just found out I was pregnant.

How did this happen, you ask? Besides the obvious, bangity-bang-bang.

We never really talked about having kids. I mean we did, but never a "serious" talk I guess. We just went with "whatever happens, happens." I'm a firm believer "if it's meant to be it will happen." I remember the dreaded aunt flow was suppose to come this day. I was sitting in our spare room at the desk doing math homework and kept thinking I was having a little more discharge than normal. T.M.I. I know- maybe I should have warned you before? Oh well. I texted my sister, Melanie, and she kept telling me to go buy a test & Loni kept saying the same thing too. I just knew I would be sad if it was negative. The peer pressure finally gave in & I went. The entire time I was driving to the store I was so, so nervous. Maybe more scared? I get home & make myself pee. IT WAS POSITIVE! Definitely a little faint, but there was totally a line there. O.M.G. I was definitely in freak out mode! These are the people I told in order: Melanie, Jen, Loni, Keri, Sarah..then Jeremy. You're probably wondering why Jeremy wasn't the 1st person..I'll get to that later. 

Luckily I had bought a 3 pack of tests. I kept thinking "no way, this can't be happening." Melanie told me to pee on another stick, so I did & it was even darker than the 1st one. I waited about an hour and peed on yet another stick & it was definitely a dark line. See above pic. After those 3 I was done peeing on sticks. There was no doubting it. 

I freaked the hell out. I was shaking..in a good way though..lol. 

Now on to why I didn't tell Jeremy first. Well, see, he does professional bass fishing (for all of those who don't know) and he was at one of his tournaments. His busy season is January-October so it was either us get pregnant this time of the year or we would be waiting until next February. I didn't want to tell him over the phone because I knew he would freak out and not be able to fish properly, lol. So I waited for what seems like FOREVER for him to get home. I told him & he was completely shocked. He knew how happy I was. 

My first ever tummy picture at 6 weeks.

He never really believed it until our 2nd doctors appointment & the doctor did an ultrasound at 9 weeks.

Sorry for the crappy pictures. These were taken a year ago and I didn't feel like going back and re-scanning.

Who would have thought that a year later I would have an amazing 4 1/2 month old daughter who starts smiling at the sight of her daddy. Amazing.
