How we found out were were pregnant 😭 Pure utter SHOCK & overwhelming joy!!! Every time I relive this moment I am a ball of tears. Please excuse my ugly cry
On a flight home from a sweet trip with friends, Bradley and I had officially decided we were ready and open to the idea of for trying for a baby- without any expectations or a timeline in mind! We had zero clue how long it would take and just figured that hopefully at some point in the future we would become a family of 3! According to my cycle tracking app, I was already a full week past my ovulation day so we figured the following month would be our first real try. A few days later, I had ordered some ovulation test strips to use in the coming weeks. The day they arrived, I used one out of curiosity to see how the testing worked. Turns out, my app was wrong and I had ovulated a full week late. I remember seeing the test result and immediately having this gut feeling that we had conceived. I truly cannot explain it. As the week went on, I continued to have the same feeling (no symptoms at all, but I just felt it in my heart). I had started taking early response pregnancy tests once I knew my period was supposed to be close to starting. Before a family Sunday dinner, I had gone to take the only test I had left in the bathroom (and didn’t tell B). I think I stared so hard at the paper test that I convinced myself there was the faintest line ever… so I went out and showed Bradley. He said he maybe saw a tiny something??? But most likely we were just imagining it. He told me that for my peace of mind he would run to grab a digital test quickly before we left for dinner. B kept repeating that he was 100% sure we weren’t pregnant so we should take it super quickly and get on the road to meet the family. You can tell how utterly shocked we were to see the words “pregnant.” Never in a million years did we think it would ever happen on the first try (and not even really an intentional try). The emotions were utterly overwhelming and I am still in awe of it all. We are already so blessed by this baby and our hearts are pouring out an insane amount of love.
