Finding out :)

I was "sure" I knew for days that I was pregnant...I was driving myself, and I'm sure my husband, crazy with the being "sure" but not really knowing.
The night we found out we were having a baby was my sister in law's birthday party Saturday April 17 2010. I was mood swinging all over the place, probably not from hormones but more so from the stress I was putting on myself...
On the way home from the party Chad decided we would go pick up a pregnancy test so I could put myself out my misery one way or another. We decided we would take it that night since there wouldn't be any harm (although it is usually most accurate in the morning).
It was 9 30 pm as I peed on the stick, praying the whole time that god would help me no matter what it said. I couldn't help hoping it was going to confirm my "surety" and tell me I was pregnant but kept telling myself it was better to be able to see if i wasn't, no point in telling myself a lie...Better to know the truth...
I glanced down at the test as it started working (or so I thought) and it told me the result was negative. I closed my eyes and again told myself 'better to know the truth', when I opened my eyes there were two lines in stead of one. It was positive!! I was pregnant!!
My eyes filled and spilled over, I grabbed the test and went pounding down the stairs to find my husband in the basement looking up waiting to hear what I had to say. I looked at him with teary eyes and held out the test..."Its positive, we are having a baby!"...
I called my parents first thing (at this point almost 10, midnight their time) telling them we were having a baby...called my sister, who didn't believe me by the way...called Chads family and some friends.... We are having a baby!!
We can't wait to meet you baby! We love you already!!
