No Mexico, it's POSITIVE! June 5, 2010

Our First Home...Where it ALL Began!


It was Saturday, June 5th and Jon and I were enjoying our first week of summer vacation! We had been looking into another trip to Mexico (we loved our honeymoon) for about 3 months now and decided today was the day to finally book the trip! Jon was going golfing with some friends for the day so he told me to book the trip while he was gone. While I was sitting at the computer I started feeling a little queezy so I ran to the bathroom. While I was in there, I figured I might as well take a test. I honestly didn't believe it would show anything, because at this point I had taken probably 8 tests in the last 3 months, all of which were negative. I usually lay the test on the counter as I wait the 2 minutes for it to process so I began brushing my teeth. After about 20 seconds I glanced down and there was already a "+" sign!!! I couldn't believe my eyes!!!!!!! I was so emotional that I had to go sit down on our bed to catch my breath!
Jon had just left about 20 minutes before and I immediately starting thinking of ways to tell him. Part of me just wanted to call and blurt out I'M PREGNANT! But I decided against it. So, I hung around the house until he returned at 2. I was laying on our bed when he came in from golfing and he immediately asked "Did you book the trip?" I responded "No." He proceeded to head toward the shower asking "Why not?" I procrastinated and let him go ahead and jump in the shower because he was complaining of a headache. After a few minutes, I went in there and said "Well, I think maybe we should save our money". To which Jon said, "Why? We have plenty saved". Then I said "Well, because I'm pregnant!" through tears, of course! He ripped back the shower curtain and said "WHAT????!!!" He began hugging me and said "Carly, this is exactly what we wanted!" As I continued to cry tears of joy I said "I know, I know!" Jon immediately suggested we go buy another pregnancy test to make sure it was true. So when the 2nd one showed POSITIVE again, we knew it had to be! He wanted to call everyone he knew to share the great news, but I thought it was a little too soon! We went to dinner that night to celebrate and then came home to bask in the glory of our fabulous news! What a great day it was!
