One Year Ago Today

We found out -- for SURE -- we were pregnant with Morgan.  I had been driving myself and everyone around me CA-RAAAZY wondering "Am I pregnant or not?"  I felt like I was.  I missed my monthly visitor.  We "capitalized on our fertile window".  But every single pregnancy test I took kept coming up negative.  And believe me, I took a LOT of them.  The cheap ones, the expensive ones, and all the ones in between.

I remember the Hubs being so fed up with me and my crazy testing, just to mess with me he suggested "Well maybe you should take just one more..." 

I was excited -- "REALLY??  You think so?" (yes! yes! I just KNOW it will be positive the next time!)

My bubble was burst when he said "NO.  STOP TESTING.  For the Love of God, STOP TESTING."

Yeah....like I said, I took a LOT of tests.

So I did the next rational thing:  I scheduled a blood test to confrm one way or the other.  I had to wait a painfully long 24 hours for the results.  Turns out my hCG levels were really low - meaning I was more likely days pregnant, not weeks like I had thought.  That explained why all previous tests were negative.  But yes, I was indeed, with child.  I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.  Ladies, trust your instincts!

Thank you for taking that little trip down memory lane with me, ha!

Our lives have been forever changed, for the better and I love this sweet little girl more than I can put into words!!
