ONE YEAR AGO....

One year ago today, we found out I was pregnant. It seems like it was only yesterday and I remember the night perfectly. I left work right at 5 and drove straight to Walgreens which was right down the road from our old apartment in Tarrytown. I looked everywhere for the pregnancy tests and couldn't find them, then realized they were locked up in some glass case & I had to ask someone to help me. That annoyed me because I was way too anxious to have some stranger hovering over me while I decided which test to buy. So I left and drove to CVS lol. Scott had called & wanted to go to the movies with me. I told him no & he went by himself as usual. I can't remember the movie but I know he will be able to tell me later when I ask him. I wanted to take the test & then be all creative and tell him in a special way if it was positive. I had all these ideas running through my head about filling the apartment with pink and blue balloons or buying him special books on being a daddy. But first I had to take the test. I remember sitting in the kitchen thinking about how in only a few minutes my whole life would possibly change forever. Once I mentally prepared myself (and really had to pee) I headed for the bathroom. It's a good thing I bought two tests because my first test did not work. I sat there waiting, staring, at the stupid little stick and nothing happened. So I took out the 2nd test and started drinking up as much water as I could. Since my bladder is the size of a pea, it didn't take long and I took the second test. I remember watching as the 1st pink line appeared and I closed my eyes before the 2nd one popped up. What freaked me out was that Scott called me at the exact moment that I opened my eyes and saw the 2nd line. He called to tell me he was on his way home & I didn't say a word to him about what I was holding in my hand. All those ideas I had about telling him in a special way went right out the window when he walked in the door. I was sitting on the couch smiling and before he even shut the door he asked if I was pregnant.

I can't believe it has been a year since that night & Jack is sitting here with me, already almost 4 months old. It was the best night & Scott & I couldn't be happier to have our little man in our lives.

Here's the test that changed everything that night....


As gross as it may be to some people, I will never ever throw it out :)
