We’re Having a Baby!

Weeks Pregnant: 10

Due Date: May 4th

How we found out: During the first week back to school, I was feeling aweful. We had agreed not to test until the weekend but I came home on Wednesday and exclaimed to Matt that it was time to test. He gave me the “are you sure” look but quickly got on board. The test was completed (you know the process) and since we hadn’t used this brand of test, when Matt went to read the stick he realized he didn’t know what he was looking for. My response: “are you for real… I’m pretty sure it’s a plus or minus.” All while he was looking over the instructions I waited with bated breath. Finally he said something to the effect of “Holy [Crap]!” and showed me the plus sign. We had an excited moment of jumping and cheering and congratulating the embryo for success.
