Dumpster Diving Dad

This is my story about finding out I was PREGNANT!

(It still seems so unreal!)

Ok so lets go back to Sunday night

I was feeling pretty horrible thinking that the IVF did not work.

I had no symptoms and just did not feel like I was pregnant and I was losing hope.

I kind of had a little melt down.

Ben and my mom tried to comfort me but I just kept crying.

My body has been full of so many hormones so I allow myslef to cry

especially when going through IVF.

So Monday morning I was talking to Ben about how I just did not feel

like it worked and he said maybe I should just soften the blow and take a pregnancy test instead of waiting for my bloodtest on Wednesday.

So I go in the bathroom and take a pregnacy test and sure enough only one line showed up. My stomach dropped. I watched the test for a few minutes to see if a 2nd line appeared but it didnt.

So I threw it away and went into our bedroom to tell Ben.

I started crying and he just held me and tried to comfort

me for about 20 minutes. Then he had to go get ready for school.

I tried to calm myself down so I could get ready for work.

I sat up in Bed and just PRAYED that it was wrong and I really was pregnant.

Right when I finished my prayer Ben came in the room

and was like

"Does it matter that there is a faint 2nd line!"

MY HEART LITERALLY STOPPED!

I ran into the bathroom and sure enough there was a faint 2nd line.

I literally jumped in Bens arm.

He said he just felt like he should double check the test so he

dug through the trash to find it.

He's my Hero!

So I ran to show my mom and she grabbed

her magnifying glass to take a better look. 

The line was definitly there! 

I went to work feeling extra giddy and happy.

When I got home for lunch I took 3 more pregnancy tests including a digital and

I was definitly pregnant. The + signs were defintily there!

Im so thankful that my mom was here to celebrate w/ us.
She was so cute and went and bought a bunch of baby stuff and decorated my kitchen table.

I have taken a test every morning now because its just so fun seeing a possitive for once on a test!

I have been waiting for this for almost 2 years!

I had my official blood test done today and I acted super

excited when my nurse told me I was pregnant.

(I didnt want to tell her I cheated and tested early!)

We are feeling very blessed right now!

I went a little crazy

(the lines didnt show up as good on the picture)

Loud and clear!

Mommy and Ben suprised me w/ this when I came home from work

When I was little I would tell my mom I was going to name my first baby girl
