My Maverick

Sep. 26th 2014.

Have you ever woken up and just had a gut feeling that something big was about to happen? Well, on September 26th i woke up with an odd feeling in my gut saying take another test. Chris and i had been married for about 3 months and had decided that we would let take see where fate would take us with starting our family. I know from the moment Chris and I got married that i wanted to start our family right away; he took a little convening but I won out. We decided at the end of August to just see what would happen, it was a fun month. On September 20 I decided to take a test, just to see if we would be one of the lucky couples that we able to conceive right away, to my disappointment the test came back negative. I was a little bummed, but it was our first month in trying, so i didn't really expect much. I let the week pass and wasn't really thinking about it much. Then on Friday morning i woke up with an odd feeling telling me to just take another test, just do it. So before I hopped in the shower to get ready for work I tested again. Not thinking much of anything i hopped in the shower and went about my morning. When i was halfway done blow drying my hair, i realized i forgot to look at my test. So I ran to the bathroom and picked it up. To my amazement i saw the faintest of lines looking back at me. I was stunned and shock and thinking a little bit that i was imaging things. Part of was thinking no way it could have happened, and the other part of me was thinking" You just want there to be a line, so your imaging it. So, with all the crazy thoughts spinning in my head, I was also going to be late for work if i didn't finish getting ready.i quietly kissed Chris on the cheek and ran out the door for work.  I couldn't focus on anything that morning other than thinking could i really be pregnant. Luckily for me, my friend for got to work 30 minutes after me so i had someone to talk to. As she walked into the office i practely cornered her in the kitchen, making sure no one else was around and frantically whispered; " I think i may be pregnant". With amazed and stunned eyes she said, " Think?!?!, how do you think? " I then went over the faint line and the unsureness about the morning. We then decided to go on our lunch break together and get a digital test; no faint line business. The next 5 hours seemed to drag on the slowest they possibly could. We hurried to Target and got two digital test to see if i was imaging things or if i was actually pregnant. We went back to her apartment and off to the guest bathroom i went. Again, what seem like the longest 3 minutes of my life passed by so slow. We decided to wait in the living room for the results , so after about 5 minutes i peaked my head into the bathroom, looking back at me was PREGNANT 1-2 weeks. So many emotions went threw my head all at once! I was so thankful, excited, scared, and nervous all at once. I was pregnant, I was going to be someones Mother. We quickly found a box and some tissue paper and wrapped the test up for Chris to unwrap when he got home from work that day. As we were walking back into work, my friend decided a picture was needed to show the exact day I found out I was pregnant, and for that I will always be grateful. Again we returned to work and I couldn't focus on anything, all i kept thinking was I am going to be a Mom. How lucky and blessed am I!??! Luckily the rest of the day seemed to fly by and I was off work before I knew it. Chris on the other hand ended up working late. He finally got home from work around 6pm and i was so excited to give him his present. Luckily we had been giving each other presents out of the blue recently so this didn't really cause any red flags. I was bursting with excitement when he finally sat on the couch open the box. He picked up the test and with wide eyes looked at me and said" Really?!?!!?". We were going to be a family of 3, and we couldn't have been happier.
