Finding Out

Well, what can I say, it was the week prior to Easter and I was feeling a little different and my cycle was late; not uncomfortable in any way, just a little more tired than usual and a little less energy. On Thursday, prior to going into Lafayette for the weekend, I decided it was probably best to take a pregnancy test just in case I was tempted to drink during the weekend. Kim from my office was going to CVS for lunch so I asked her to pick me up a pregnancy test while she was there, in the meantime, I went home because Casey cooked me lunch. Anxious to get back to work to take the test, I left promptly after lunch and headed back to work. When Kim got back, she told me the news that she couldn't find them, I was like "are you serious?" So I told myself that maybe it was a sign that I was overreacting. Well, after an hour and a half of talking myself into it/out of it, I left work to go to CVS and buy a test. I got back to my office around 2:15pm and did not need to use the bathroom. After guzzling down a glass of water, while reading the test about how your not supposed to drink allot of water as it may dilute the test, I finally could at 2:45pm. Well, I took the test and went back to my office for the LONG 2 minute wait. I glanced over my shoulder to the stick and immediately saw a plus sign, needless to say, my heart started beating REALLY fast and I started shaking. Then I called Kim over and asked her to please make some sense of that plus sign sitting on my desk. She talked me down and told me that I needed to take one more test (I bought a 3 pack) before going home to tell Casey. So again, I guzzled down as much water as I could and took the second test at 2:10pm. Yet again, positive. I immediately ran out the door and headed home. I managed to calm myself down on the 5 minute trip home and was pretty calm when I got there. Casey was packing our belongings into our vehicle for Lafayette. He then told me that he had a surprise and brought out this Easter basket that he bought for me:So I apologized to him that I didn't have a basket for him, because I thought we weren't buying each other baskets, I should have known.... then let him finish packing the car while I set up the evidence. Well, he walked in and I had this on the table:Needless to say, his jaw dropped and he was ecstatic. Enough of me talking, I will let Casey explain in his own words......Thanks Rach, she called me over and she had this weird tone to her voice and she never calls me over like the way she did, so I thought something was up, but I thought it may be something bad because of the way she called me over. When I got to her she said look at that and when I first looked at the paper I thought she was giving me an envelope with money in it for Easter and then after my eyes focused and I saw what the paper said my jaw dropped and I think I was kind of paralyzed and then Rachael told me to give her a hug, so I hugged her so softly not to hurt the baby, LOL!

We had to calm ourselves down after that and spent all Easter weekend with our families holding this HUGE secret in.
