BOY OR GIRL?!
Brad and I are prego! I grabbed a pregnancy test on my way home from the hospital, I thought their was like a 20% chance I was pregnant but I was pretty sure that for some odd reason I was late, NOT pregnant. All three of the test I took were positive, I wasn't sure whether to cry or scream out of excitement. Instead I decided that all THREE test were wrong that I wasnt pregnant. I wanted to tell Brad, but he was at work and I didnt want to do it over the phone or in a text. Later, Brad called and asked me to meet him and some of our friends at Jamba Juice! As Brad and I were sitting by ourselves for a second he asked if I had started my period, I said, "No". He looked at me for a second and said, "Are you pregnant"?..... I said, "Yes" and started to cry. Brad was so giddy he couldnt stop smiling, he said, " Im more excited than I ever thought I would be". I was still in shock and scared of being pregnant with all the changes that are happening in our lives right now. Brad wanted to tell the whole world, but I made him promise not to say a word. I was still not convinced I was pregnant so on the way home we picked up two more test. They were also positive. Our plan was not tell tell anyone until about 12 weeks in case I were to have a miscarriage. I went to work the following day and I was looking over some information on a patient I was getting and noticed that the patient had a history of shingles. I asked Tiffany, (who had some intuition going on) if shingles was like MRSA, that if you have ever had it than you would ALWAYS be on contact precautions. Tiff said, " No, you just can't take care of them if youre pregnant. You're not pregnant are you"? Lol all I could do was say, "Yes". Tiffany quickly made arrangements for me and Traci (who was at the opposite end of the table) to switch patients, but she also had to ask Traci if she is pregnant. It was pretty simple for everyone in the room to realize that Traci and I were switching because I was pregnant. I just smiled and said, "SURPRISE". It turned out to be a good thing, I was able to ask two other pregnant girls on my unit questions about their pregnancies. The only reason that I didnt want a baby right now is because I will be living in TX for a month by myself and if I were to get sick I wouldnt have Brad with me. Now, Im so exited I can hardly stand it. I keep thinking about how I wanna do the baby room, and if it will be a boy or a girl, what we will name it, what he/she will look like. It seems unreal to me, I think once I start to show, or feel the baby kick it will feel more real. For now, I will just dream about this amazing little baby that is about to enter our lives! We feel so blessed!
