Chris and I had talked a lot about when we would start trying for a child. We moved to AZ in May '09 from Upstate NY and we wanted to enjoy our new city & state for a year before trying. We didn't even wait a year. We started trying in October of '09 and started looking for a house in January 2010.
Month after month with no positive test would always bring me down. I would wonder why it wasn't happening for us. Were we not meant to be parents? What were we to be learning from this experience?
Those 10 months were very difficult but brought us closer together as a couple. I cried and he consoled me; we talked about our "future" baby all the time; picked out names but month after month our optimism was slowly decreasing......
In August 2010, we FINALLY heard that we had gotten a house. We were ecstatic and apparently that's all we needed to hear. We got pregnant that weekend (August 22nd 2010).
September 1, 2010 I woke up and took a pregnancy test (from the Dollar Store) and I got a very faint 2nd line. I didn't think much of it but took a digital to confirm it. And "pregnant" came up right away. I stood there, shocked, with my hand over my mouth as Chris lay sleeping in bed having no idea what I am about to tell him.
I get in the shower and I cry. I thank God that he gave us this little human growing inside of me and I pray to him to keep him or her safe and healthy as he or she grows.
Once I'm out of the shower, I get dressed and Chris wakes up a little.
I say, "I took a pregnancy test"
Chris: "Yeah, what did it say?"
Me: "It says I am pregnant!!!!"
Chris: "Oh shit, I better get on the internet and start doing some research." HAHAHA
That was the best day of our lives until the day our baby was born.
Here is our journey.............
