"I don't know... that line looks really faint."

I woke up on Friday, May 7th with the thought that I should take a pregnancy test. Sure, I was only a day late but I figured I bought the tests for a reason AND the night before I had managed to eat an entire jar of green olives (juice too) without hesitation. Those who know me are thinking that it is not unusual for me to eat a bunch of olives, but trust me... it was different this time. ;)

So, there I was waiting the 3 minutes the box said to and sure enough a faint pink line showed up next to the dark pink one. I decided I needed to give it more time - that and Eric was still peacefully sleeping and I had no idea how I was going to tell him that I thought I was pregnant. After showering, I got the courage to gently wake him up and show him the test. His first response was, "I don't know, that line looks really faint... are you sure?" According to the box any showing of a line means you're pregnant, so after showing the directions to him we decided I needed to make a doctor's appointment to have them test me for sure.

Calling the doctor to make an appointment was nothing like I thought it would be. I thought for sure they would want me to come in right away, but alas they said May 27th would be the soonest they could see me. I asked the nurse what I was to do until then - especially since we weren't positive that we were pregnant. She then asked me if there were two lines on the test - even if one was lighter than the other and I told her yes. Her next reply almost brought tears to my eyes because she said, "Then, congratulations! You're pregnant!" I couldn't wait to get home to tell Eric and since he said he didn't want to hear the news over the phone I had to wait until 4:30 to tell him. Yes, he is excited and though this news came a few months sooner than we had really planned, we both know that in the long run a few months won't really matter. :)

So, here we are on day one of knowing (and approximately 4 weeks pregnant). And to tell you the truth, it is kind of exciting knowing that it is our little secret... for now. :)
