Surprise!

Matt and I got the best news of our lives on April 9, 2010.

We had just returned home from our trip to NYC the day before.

The last couple of days of the trip I had felt sort of strange, but didn't really suspect anything.

I was feeling a little bit nauseous and if I didn't eat right when I got hungry then I felt worse.

Again, I didn't think too much about it. We went to bed pretty early, as Matt was going with his dad to the Master's the next day. He was also feeling a little under the weather due to allergies caused by the full fledged onset of spring.

I woke up about 5:00 in the morning, and something in my head told me to take a pregnancy test. I had one at home and went and found it and took it. Matt was still sound asleep in the bed and had no idea.

I waited the few minutes and couldn't believe what I saw when I picked up the test, it was positive, I was pregnant!

I really did not believe it at first, and thought it must be a false positive. I decided I had to wake Matt up to have him take a look at it to confirm. Poor guy had taken allergy meds and was so out of it. I took him in the bathroom, showed him the test and asked him if I was reading it right. He was still half asleep, gave this big grin and gave me a hug. He could barely keep his eyes open and headed back to bed. Not the most fun, creative way to tell him, but i just couldn't wait until later in the morning. I got up when the store opened and went and bought another test to confirm, and again positive!

When Matt woke up we were both still trying to let it sink in. I called the Dr. to see if I could be seen that day, and we were in luck, they had an opening. We went to the Dr. and they did a test and the Dr. decided to do an ultrasound. Wow, what a moment, he scrolled over the tiny little spot on the screen, and said "there's your baby!", I was about 6 1/2 weeks along.

We were excited, surprised and every other emotion you feel in that moment. We couldn't wait to share the news with our families!
