A Father's Day Gift
Drew and I got a little surprise news on Father's Day.
He believes it is a blessing from Grandy and my Dad who were on my mind constantly that day...
I had taken a pregnancy test the day before after I started experiencing a few strange symptoms to me (because I know my brother reads this I will not go into detail!) Anyway I was sure I had taken the test wrong because it came up with a positive sign but was completely soaked in urine and I thought I just oversaturated the thing.
After a trip to Lubbock to pick up a new camera, back to Amarillo to finish some errands, we picked up another pregnancy test. The first was positive... I walked outside to Drew who was picking weeds in the front yard with one hand over my mouth and the other carrying my positive pee stick. I had been told once that you cannot have a false positive and therefore my heart was going 90 mph. Drew wasn't sure how to take the news with the shocked/scared look on my face. I rushed back inside to down Powerade and take another... positive again!
My instant reaction was to run to my Mom. We decided to wait until a Dr. could confirm the results. As I sat on the couch trying to wrap my head around the information my Mom called me. I sobbed on the phone as she said "I know this is a hard day thinking about your Dad." I wanted to scream in the phone "THAT IS NOT WHY I AM CRYING!!!" I didn't though. We hung up and I was sobbing harder than ever. Drew grabbed my hand and said ok lets go! We went over to Mom and Nana's swept them outside so I could give them the news. I don't think if I hadn't handed them two positive pregnancy tests they would have known what I said because I was crying so hard. They were both overjoyed with the news. Nana quickly set to work trying to figure out why I was crying so hard. She calmed me down. Encouraged me and we prayed all together.
We went on to spread the news to Neeley and Lane, who I think were in complete shock just like us. Then on to Aunt Tammy and Rhonda's where the excitement continued.
I have been struggling with many emotions since the news... excitement, fear, sadness, euphoria, stress, happiness. We are so grateful for the gift that God has given us with this addition to our family.
I saw the Dr. for the first time today and My due date is officially February 20th! Let the ride begin!
