It was all a dream......

......or so we thought. The constant joking and subtle hints that were constantly surrounding us have turned a once laughing matter into a life-changing event. January 3, a home test was taken and as it mysteriously comes back with a second pink line we look on in disbelief. A second was taken because the first is a little questionable: "is that a pink line? Is that line supposed to be there? Maybe its a faulty test." Low and behold, the second confirmed the first and now we are faced with the question of "Is this truly happening?" An appointment to the Dr was in line for January 6. Hopefully this man can shed some light on the subject and confirm what we have stumbled upon. The days leading up to the doctors appointment were filled with a rollercoaster of emotion by us both. Disbelief followed by fear and a sense of overwhelming responsibility. A hint of excitement trickled in my mind but I did not want to put too much into a $15 dollar test and the problems that can incur during the first detrimental weeks of early pregnancy. After going to the doctor, a call comes back the day after and it was the Dr himself. "Your HCG levels are around 8000 which corresponds right along with your suspected date of conception, congratulations". With this confirmation, I go from skeptical and worried to a higher state of excitement. This is it. This is the big one. No more games and joking. We created another being and it will be here in 9 months. So many variables, questions, uncertainties. No point in being scared anymore. With each day passing, I look at it more of something amazing and special and less of an accident or "issue" that arose.
