I really don't know where to even begin with this story without TMI; you are warned!!!! Basically, Nick and I decided that after our many years of being together and finally settled into a home/job, etc., it was time for the next step.
Well, I must say, when you are "planning" a pregnancy, waiting to take a test seems like ETERNITY. Even after 2 weeks, I knew I was pregnant and told Nick and my mom that I knew I was because I was SO sleepy at work and just had a feeling. They both told me that it was all in my head because I wanted to be so bad. I wasn't taken seriously because no one thought it would happen so soon. On the Friday before Labor Day weekend, I went to Walgreens to buy a pregnancy test since I just knew I was. We were heading to my inlaws after work for the holiday weekend. I am not going to lie, I took the test that Friday night and it was negative. I took this test alone because I really didn't want to hear " I told you so" and disappoint anyone. I didn't even tell Nick that I bought the test, nor took it. That weekend I was beyond exhausted.. I was falling asleep while getting ready. My mother-in-law even told me later that she wondered if I were pregnant based on my fatigue. I bought the test that you can take 5 days before your missed "cycle". I wasn't due until that following Tuesday and I am always right on schedule. Tuesday came and it was the longest day ever because I was waiting. By this point I knew it was all in my head but I still had not started. So... at midnight (I know, silly) I took another test (technically 1 day late) and it read positive before I could even finish. Again, I took this alone because 1) I already took a negative and 2) everyone thought it was all in my head. I didn't want to wake Nick in the middle of the night and tell him when we couldn't even get excited and talk. I bottled up the excitement and went to bed. I woke up thinking it was all a dream (Nick had already left for work). I was SOOOOOO happy. I couldn't wait to get off work and figure out a way to tell him. I did regret not taking the test with him but my reason was good. During my lunch, I went to the store trying to find something creative to share the news with Nick...nothing! So, I went home and "Connor" wrote him a letter that read....
Dear Daddy, Surprise!!! I can't wait to meet you in May. Please take care of Mommy during this pregnancy. Love, Baby Ferris
I enclosed this letter in an envelope with the test and gave it to Nick when he got home. I handed it to him and he was confused. I told him it came in the mail..hahaha!
He opened and the rest is history... we were very happy and shocked.... he then called his parents and started to cry (he would say his eyes watered) on the phone with them. Everyone was very excited to say the least!!! Let the pregnancy begin............
