BFP!!

So I received my BFP (big fat positive) on Sunday. It was totally weird and I was so not expecting it to go down like that...

Hubby's face is like that because he was disgusted that I had a "pee stick" near his face lol.

 

My cousin came to my house on the following morning so that I could braid her hair for her. We were talking and she was telling me that her hair was going to fall out so she was going to get it cut. I didn't think much about it and then she added, "because I'm pregnant!" Woah! Did that catch me off guard? She was very nonchalant when she told me,  and I'm like "Omg, Congrats". And then I asked her for her symptoms and she said besides her hair falling out, her skin was breaking out and she was always hungry and she noticed that her 4 year old daughter has been very clingy to her lately and now she knows why. So of course I asked how far along she was, and she said 4 weeks.... so fast forward...

So my husband had drill that day but he came home around 1pm. He did something that he NEVER does...he took a nap. And not just any ordinary nap, but he was asleep for more than two hours. 

A little sidenote about my husband...he's not a big sleeper.

So it's a BIG deal when he just out the blue takes a nap.

His excuse was because he was tired.

And on Sunday and today (Tuesday) he was in the

bed at 8pm knocked out!!!

So before he took his nap, he asked if I would come to the bed with him because he needed to talk to me about something. So when I got in the bed he asked, "So has Lucy arrived". I told him no and he had this grin on his face and said, "Ohhh, you might be pregnant!!". I started smiling because they say smiling is contagious and I told him that I highly doubt it because I was having the usual symptoms as when my period starts. The only thing that was slightly different is that my breasts were extremely sore. But of course I dismissed any sort of pregnancy idea because I was cramping like my period was going to start. So that night made it day 31 of my cycle and I said a prayer before I went to sleep. I asked God to please not get my hopes high and bring my period thru the night if I wasn't pregnant. Well the next morning, there was no period!!!

Hubby had to be at church at 8am so when I woke up around 8:20amish, I decided to take a pregnancy test. At first I thought it was negative because I only saw the control line and I was upset like where in the world is my period, and then I glanced at it again and I saw two lines which indicated the test was POSITIVE!! I stared at it and I was speechless. I think partially because I had just woke up and was tired. (I couldn't sleep well the night before because I was constantly worrying about my period). And then I started to smile. I started pondering how would I tell my husband. I wanted it to be special.

I quickly got dressed and rushed off to Target. I bout a girl outfit and it says, "I LOVE MOMMY" and a boy outfit that says, "DADDY'S LITTLE ALLSTAR". I also bought a card and the cover read, Bet you're feeling proud and glad... and the inside read, That soon you'll be a brand-new dad! Congratulations. And I hand-wrote at the bottom of the card, "You are my first and my last baby! Never forget that! I love you with all my heart:)". Lastly, I bought a gift bag and I put everything inside and drove to church as careful as I possibly could. I had a long prayer to God and while driving I was crying but I know God protected me and got me to church safely. When I got to church it was during Sunday School, so I sat next to him in the pew. He whispered in my ear, "Has Lucy arrived yet", and I said no and turned my head because I had a big grin on my face. He cradled his arms back and forth like he was holding a baby and I smiled. So I whispered in his ear that I had a gift for him after church....

So after Sunday School I asked him he wanted his gift now or after Morning Worship and at first he said later, I will just get it myself. And I begged him not to, and then he said ok I want it now. So as we are walking to the car he asked, "Is it a stroller? Is it a carseat?" and I said no. I retrieved the gift bag and handed it to him. He saw the clothes and looked at me with his eyes big and whispered, "Are you pregnant?". I replied I took the test and it was positive. I also told him that I had been crying all morning. He looked at the card and said, "you're spending money already".  He then grabbed me in his arms and kissed me passionately. His eyes got watery and he quickly turned his head. He put the bag in the car and we walked back to the church. As we were walking he asked who would I tell first and I told him Keisha...

Me: WE are really twins!!! And I' gonna leae it like that for now

Keish: Are you pregnant? Or do you think you are?

....I called her and told her the news.... and later on...

Keish: I'm sorry but I'm so excited we will be due only days apart. Your body is about to go thru some CRAZY changes and you're going to be so bratty but we're doing it together so its going to be really funny afterwards lol. I just pray everything goes well and we have two healthy fully developed babies.

Me: I ditto that!!! But you better keep your excitement FAR from our family until I give you the ok. LOL. 

Keish: I will. I'm glad I'll be there with you for every step!! You'll be a great mommie.

When I arrived home from church, I hung up my chalk board on the wall and hung the clothes on the hooks. When Chris walked in the house, he saw it, and laughed...

(this is the chalk board I will use when tracking my 

pregnancy with the weekly photos I will take of our 

growing baby)

So when Chris and I were at home on Sunday, he didn't want to talk about it too much because he wanted to wait until after I had my doctor's appointment. I had to pee like a trillion times that night and it seemed like every time I got back in the bed Chris had a new demand. "You can't stand next to the microwave......you gotta be careful when you're driving". He would just wake up out of his sleep to tell me something new. It was pretty hilarious!! And of course, now I really couldn't sleep because now I was thinking about being pregnant. So the following day, I woke up and scheduled my doctor's appointment. It's scheduled for Feb 1, 2013 at 1:30pm. 

Chris made me take another pregnancy test. He's so funny and I asked him if he was going to make me take a test every morning until my doc's appointment lol. And sure enough, that test was positive also. 

Second test...next day

So... I'm thrilled and at the same time nervous. I had my first breakdown tonight because I started worrying about miscarrying. But Chris reassured me that I couldn't worry and it was in God's hands. I'm so honored and blessed that God saw me fit to bear a child. It's such a miracle and I'm forever grateful. I'm so blessed that this child was conceived in love and I'm looking forward to this journey with my husband...
