I had a suspicion, and I'd had enough of spending $$ on pregnancy tests so I headed down to my Dr.'s office for "Free Pregnancy Testing Tuesdays". I had my hopes up a little but was trying not to be too excited for fear of a let down. They called my name, I went back to the lab, got the nurse what she needed then sat down on the bench next to another girl/lady who'd just done the same thing. She was wearing a lot of makeup I remember. We didn't say anything to each other. For what seemed like an eternity we waited, a nurse came in, did my test, did the other girls test. More waiting. All the while I'm trying to convince myself not to be sad. Nurse finally peeked at my test, wrote something on my paper, then did the same with the other girl's test and paper. Picked up the papers, one in each hand, gave the other girls hers first, then mine, just as I was glancing at it to see the word "positive" the nurse said "They are both positive, so, you'll need to go schedule your next appointment up front". "Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh" I kept saying out loud as I reread the word "positive" on the paper. The girl next to me smiles and says "so is this a good thing?" "oh yes yes this is a good thing!" I said, "is it for you?" "um, yeah" she said. We then walked up to the front. "Good luck with everything!" she said to me, "you too!" I said. I then proceeded to try and calm down and focus enough to schedule my first pre-natal appointment and figure out how I was going to tell Jared . . .

and now I'm so blessed to spend my days playing with this cute 4 month old!
