3. WHAT WERE YOUR REACTIONS? For some reason I decided to stop at the drug store and buy a prego test on my way to work and went right into the bathroom and took it. When it said positive I started FREAKING out, I ran out to my car still holding the pee stick and drove straight home, while hysterically crying from excitement. When I ran into the house Chad was like "what is wrong," because I was still crying. We were both way excited. We told our families that day.
WHAT WERE YOUR REACTIONS? I could have flown to France with the money I used on pregnancy tests during the time we had tried for number two I got so sick of seeing pee stick with a negative sign, so when I saw the positive sign I didn't believe it I checked it about twenty times, and then of course started crying. Immediately after though I started feeling very uneasy, I had three miscarriages during the time we were trying so it was a little unnerving. We waited several weeks before we told ANYBODY! In fact my mom called me the same day I found out and told me she had a dream that I was pregnant and then asked if I was and I told her no.
