Pregnant!

A little background of our story:

Travis has always said (before we even got married) that he thought it would be the best present ever if he found out I was pregnant on Father's Day. We weren't necessarily trying for that but on Father's Day, I took a pregnancy test anyways, just to see if I could give him that present. The test came back negative. Bummer. About 2 weeks later, I received a text from a very good friend from college telling me her and her husband were pregnant. We were so excited for them! The way she told her husband was by writing "Happy Fathers Day" on her tummy. I was sad I couldn't give my husband that gift, but so happy for our friends! A few short weeks later, it was Travis's birthday. We had both taken the day off of work with the expectation of doing something fun together that day. I woke up super early for whatever reason and lounged on the couch while he still slept. A couple of hours passed and he woke, asking me to come into our room. I had to go to the restroom first and as I headed in, I wondered, "Since I couldn't give him the present on Father's Day, why not today, his birthday?" It was still early and so taking a pregnancy test was a huge shot in the dark but I did it anyway. Within 10 seconds, that EPT test showed up PREGNANT. My reaction? OH CRAP! I DIDN'T THINK I'D ACTUALLY BE! (But in a good way, not as if to say, "oh crap, no!") I was shaking as I walked back to our bedroom with the test behind my back. I simply said, "Uh, babe..." and handed him the test. He looked. Looked again. Looked again. Then said, "Is this real?"

Travis and I laughed and were so excited that we couldn't stop smiling. We are pregnant. That initial feeling was something I cannot explain. And I know that feeling will happen again when we feel he/she move for the first time and when he/she is born!
