We're Pregnant! The morning we first found out...

Here is a bit of what I wrote the morning I found out I was pregnant:

'This morning, Ben & I got the best news of our lives: We're Pregnant! Finding out you're pregnant with your first baby is something you only get to experience once. Even years of anticipating what that moment may feel like falls far short of preparing you for it. We knew that we wanted a baby in the next year or so, but research says it can take 6-12 months for healthy couples to conceive. Well...for us...it took one...guess that's 'Meant to be'. Even though we had been wanting to concieve, I was SO shocked when Monday morning...5:45am, the test said "pregnant". I had taken 4 tests already that month (I know... a bit obsessive) but they were all negative. When I still had no period by day 43, well I decided to test again- fully expecting another negative. Ben was still asleep, not knowing I was even taking another test. I continued to get ready for work, vowing to not even look at the test for another 5 minutes. When I could not wait any longer, I looked down and could not believe my eyes... It said Pregnant! My hands started to shake, I started to cry, then opened the bathroom door pouring light into our bedroom and said ...."Um...Ben?" .."Yeah, he replied"...I said "um, I'm pregnant"...he shot out of bed so quickly- confirmed I was serious, he hugged me so tightly, then we both sat down on the edge of the bed in partial darkness, my hands still shaking, just amazed at what was happening. We were SOOOO happy and excited, it felt wrong to just keep getting ready and go to work- this was HUGE news!'
That night we went out to dinner at our favorite restaurant- Chianti Grill to celebrate. We kept the news all to ourselves for another two weeks until we had our 1st Drs appointment and could have an ultrasound pic to show our family. It was acctually kind of nice to have the news- just the two of us for a while- to just enjoy it as a couple.
Another thing that made that day of finding out we we're pregnant so memorable, was that it was the EXACT SAME DAY that my Grandpa Jack Schneeweis passed away. While I really wish we could have told him about his soon to come 3rd great grand child, I have to trust he knew, and was with Grandma to share the news...talk about the circle of life!!!!
