This is it!

I went on a WONDERFUL girl's trip to Kure Beach this past weekend and was expecting to see aunt Flo arrive on Saturday. So of course, I was up at the crack of dawn with my EPT test on Sat morning to see if I had any reason to take it easy at the bars for the weekend ;) No plus sign...so I went ahead with the weekend awaiting Flo's arrival at any time.

I got home Monday afternoon and still nothing? So I pulled out another EPT and Oh My Gosh, there was a faint (but there!) plus sign! I was home alone at Steve wasn't due home from work for another 2.5 hours!!! I was freaking out! So I sent Steve a text and asked him if he could come home early from work b/c I missed him (had only been gone for three days...but truthfully, I did). He said he'd try...

After frantically doing laundry, cleaning the kitchen spotless, and lighting candles around the house to create a relaxed setting, I finally calmed down and started watching one of my favorite 80's movies, The Loverboy. Man, I'll never forget that movie now!

So when Steve did make it home (not early, but I was calm so it was cool), I told him that I had gotten him a souvenir on my trip. So he first pulled the homemade salsa out of the fridge and started to have an after work snack, but I was reeling with anticipation so I said here open your gift. So he pulled out the newspaper make shift tissue paper and there was the EPT, with the faint, yet glaringly obvious plus sign. He grinned from ear to ear and said "You're going to make me remember this salsa forever!"

Always food involved in our life altering moments ;)

I didn't sleep that well last night and I will admit that I fear what is to come and have those scary thoughts about whether or not I can do this, but I CAN! And I'm so excited about it! I have an appointment at my OBGYN next week (has been scheduled for a year, so how about that timing!?!) and I am looking forward to hearing the confirmation of my pregnancy.

Given the fact that I took another test (hey, what's the point in saving them now??) this morning and the plus sign was not quite as faint, I feel assured that my body is working on a true miracle.
