On April 1, 2011, (ironic, don't you think?) I decided to take one last pregnancy test so that I could conclude that my menstrual cycle had disappeared again. I guess the third time was a charm as I shockingly discovered that we were pregnant! Of course, I immediately called Steve as he would be just as stunned. Yes, yes, we had been trying for some time, but I was convinced it was going to take a miracle, some voodoo and a rain dance for us to conceive.
Although I wanted to run through the streets and shout our good news, I needed to put a cap on it as my mom and I were traveling to Asheville for my best friend's baby shower. Luckily, I only had to wait two short days before I reunited with Steve. It was then that we could stare at each other in wide-eyed disbelief and repeat "Oh my god, we are pregnant...."
Above is a copy of the 12 week ultrasound. I definitely counted 5 fingers on the hand closest to its nose!
