So we just got back from our fabulous Orlando vacation with the Keller's and this week I noticed something was missing......my period!! I went by CVS yesterday (10-22-2012) after work to buy a pregnancy test--went home, read the directions a million times, took the test and waited for what seemed to be hours, but in reality was only three minutes. My timer goes off and I walk in not knowing what I feel...excitement, fear, or a little of both!! I walk in and see................

| Test 1 |
So as you can imagine I was in shock, I thought this is such a strange feeling, one minute my life is normal the next minute I find out I am going to be a mom!. Again, the excitement and the fear was overwhelming. Just then Kyle calls to tell me he is on his way home from work and my mind is just spinning. I need to tell him but I can't do that over the phone. I try to act as normal as I can; we hang up and I think to myself, I am going to do another test just to make sure. So...................

| Test 2 |
Well that is pretty certain what do you think? So now I am thinking how do I tell Kyle, do I come up with something creative, do I just blurt it out...I have no idea. So Kyle comes in, he is in the kitchen sorting and scattering mail all over the counter like he does and grab one of the test's and put it in my pocket and walk to the kitchen. We said our hello's, how was your day, and I just stood there. He eventually looked up at me and said what are you doing just standing there? I couldn't speak, my words wouldn't come out. So I just said....Well my period was late by one day, so I went by CVS to get a test, it is positive, it is in my pocket...and I don't know what else to say!! Yeah real creative-Jordan!! I wish I had a camera to capture the look on his face. I don't think I will ever forget it. I would say "SHOCKED," would be an understatement, and all he did was say, huh, well ok, huh, well ok...over and over!! I finally said well are you happy or sad about this, he came over took the test out of my hand and said yep, that is what it says. So things I never want to forget is what he said next. He has the test in his hand and he says, "So what is it a boy or a girl?" Oh my goodness, we have a lot of baby books to read. Then he says, "Well about how much do you think this is going to cost?" At this time I am just dying laughing. The best one of all is when he said, "Well this is great, we will have one more Republican added to society, and even better next year's tax deduction." Well I guess whatever gets him over the initial shock :) "So I am going to be a dad," he says. YEP, and a great one at that!! He comes over and gives me a hug and that is how the story of Baby T begins.
So this day is a day I never want to forget as it was so mixed with emotions. We are excited and nervous for this journey, but so ready to start the next chapter in our lives with our own family!!
