The week before I knew I felt strange, wasn’t hungry and felt light headed but of course the biggest thing was I was so tired I didn’t even want to play Call of Duty LOL. On the way to work on July 6, 2011 I stopped by the store and picked up a test (honestly I thought I was getting sick because this isn’t the first time I had picked up a test but those times it was negative). I pulled into work parked the car and sat at my desk and my head just started swimming I was SO dizzy. So I called my boss and told him I needed to go home because I wasn’t feeling well, he only asked me one question “Jackie, are you pregnant”? I told him “Maybe”!
Now, I always had this great plan of telling Steve. Leave a “baby on board” sign on the door so when he comes in he sees it or making a special dinner that was made up of everything baby baby carrots, and baby corn (that’s the only things I can think of LOL) and see if he noticed. Of course that is so not the way it went.
Now back at home, I went to the bathroom and peed on the stick, still thinking it’s just going to come back negative. So I started my timer on my phone and sat the test completely horizontal like the instructions said and I sat and waited and just stared at it. I felt the tears coming when it started to do things that it never did before, it started to make a plus sign!!! I’ve never laughed, cried, and not been able to breathe all at the same time IN MY BATHROOM! At that point all the great plans for telling Steve flew out the window I couldn’t wait to tell him! So I picked up the phone and called him and through my tears and excitement I said “Babe I’m pregnant”! I really wish I could have waited so I could have seen the look on his face, but the excitement in his voice was just as great.
