Finding out your pregnant, whether it was planned or not, is always a very emotion filled event. Even though this is my fifth pregnancy, when those two little lines appeared, i couldn't believe it. When i woke up that morning, i felt different. I wasn't late for my period, my breasts weren't sore, and i didn't feel at all sick to my stomach. But for some reason, every inch of me was scream, "Take a test!". So i went into the bathroom after i put my 18 month old, Ali, down for her mid day nap. I took the test, left it on the counter, without looking at it, then went and had a glass of milk. I went back to the bathroom, and with just two little pink lines, my life had changed, again.
Even though i had been through this before, the emotions were just as strong as the very first time. Shock was the first one. I don't know why, its not like i don't know where babies come from, but i was in utter shock. I ran and got the camera, without ever touching the test, and took some pics...anything to make it less surreal.
Those two pink lines....they were still there.
The next emotion was definitely excitement. I couldn't contain myself. I texted my hubby right away while he was at work. Texted my brother and other family members, and emailed my grandparents. When i finally sat down and did the math, i was only three weeks pregnant, and my EDD was July 23rd, 2010. In the next couple of days, i went to the women's sexual health clinic, where they confirmed the pregnancy, wrote me a referral to the same doc who delivered my Ali, and booked me my first ultrasound for Dec. 14, 2011.
Then, like a ton of bricks, it hit. My daughter will have to share her mommy and daddy. Since then, ive told her i loved her more often, hug her a little tighter, and keep telling her "Theres ALWAYS room for you in Mamas arms." Ali will be about 27 months old when our Baby Bean arrives...shes going to be a great big sister.
