OMG! We're Half Way There!!!

So as my first post, it would be totally unfair to just start blabbing about me without giving you proper warning or background.


On June 24, 2010, I decided to take my last pregnancy test with me to the potty. The instructions say to use the morning tinkle, so, there i was holding that last test. That test came in a box of three on sale "BONUS TEST INCLUDED!" said the bright pink box! So, for a lot less than what I was going to spend on a box of the test with the words that tell u "Pregnant/Not Pregnant," I bought my first (and little did i know) last box of Prego Test. But, you see, this test was special. It was different. I took hold of this last "free BONUS" test and i unwrapped it, and pointed at it!! With a firm voice I said "YOU. ARE. GOING. TO. BE. POSITIVE. IN. THE. NAME. OF. JESUS!" (hey, there is power in the name of JESUS! Can I get an AMEN!!!) Then, I did it. At 7:45 am, on June 24, 2010, i peed on the stick, watched it turn pink (it means i aimed correctly), and waited until those blue lines started to show. First, I saw the horizontal line. This evil line that makes itself present first to discourage you from waiting just another 30 seconds! But, i was not discouraged! I have demanded the test be positive and I was not leaving the bathroom until it gave me what I wanted!! Lo, and behold, 10 seconds later...I see it. A very faint, barely-there, vertical blue line. Now, the vertical line by itself has no power. But, when combined with the evil horizontal line...u get something that looks like this: +. And this + was all I needed to see to let me know that life, as I know it, was beginning. Inside of me an embryo was forming. I was about to experience the most amazing moment in the life of a woman: Becoming a mother. Words cannot explain what I felt when i saw the +. I ran into the bedroom screaming my head off, jumping up and down! My husband had no clue what I was doing, let alone suspected that I thought I was pregnant. He almost died of a heart attack that morning. "I'M PREGNANT!!I'M PREGNANT!!' was all I could say!! He, being a man and all and not knowing about the faint vertical line meaning positive, looked at the test and said "No....it can't be right...you can barely see that vertical line..." I whipped out my handy-dandy instructions, and read "A positive test can be seen when the vertical line and horizontal line are both present on the strip. Even if the vertical line is extremely faint, this is considered a positive test. You are probably in the early stages of pregnancy, and should see a darker line after 2-3 days if you retake the test." There was no doubt that test was positive. He called his sister, I called my best friend. I had been telling her my suspicions but she didn't believe it could be done on the first shot. Needless to say, we proved her wrong. That day after work, I went to the doctor (said best friend works at my doc's office) and took blood. The next day, it was confirmed. I was exactly 4 weeks pregnant.
Now, I am 24 weeks and 5 days pregnant. My due date is March 3, 2011. We are expecting a beautiful baby Boy. Landon Alexander. Pregnancy was pretty easy. No morning sickness. Just always tired. I could sleep on command! Now, my belly is growing and i feel his moves and kicks and turns. He is perfectly healthy. And this is where this blog will begin. Hi, my name is Sofia, and i am about to be a mommy!
