Pregnant? Their is no way, I can't be...

This may sound a little funny, so feel free to laugh at this first sentence- I was once watching an episode of Degrassi a few years back, it was the episode where Liberty & JT found out that Liberty was pregnant. JT was in doubt and Liberty said "A girl just knows when she's pregnant JT." Well, let's just say I never knew the impact that a phrase from a TV show could have on me! Before I took a test, and even missed my period for that matter, I knew something wasn't right. It started when I was outside in 14 degree weather and I was getting hot flashes and sweating. Now, I don't know about you guys but 14 degrees outside is pretty cold. Another sign I knew I was pregnant was when I had a sudden craving for pickles dipped in peanut butter. EWWW, right? I also was tired, to the point where I could have slept for days and had MAJOR headaches- I'm talking, it felt like I got hit in the head with a cast iron pan. I researched some of the 'early pregnancy signs' and so be it, I had them all. All I could think to myself was 'Let the pregnancy scare begin'...

December 23rd 2013 my whole life changed forever! It all started when I was finishing up wrapping Christmas presents- I got done wrapping my brother's present and I decided to take a pregnancy test. Although I hadn't missed my period yet, I just knew something wasn't right. I went upstairs to my boyfriends bathroom and took a test- sure enough there was only one line. I flushed the toilet, washed my hands and decided to take one last look.. I couldn't believe my eyes, there was a second line. Although it was faint- it was still there. In that moment my whole world changed, a million and one thoughts were running through my head. What was I gonna tell Tyler? What was I gonna tell my PARENTS? I calmly walked through the living room pass my boyfriends Grandpa, down into the basement where my boyfriend was at the time and looked at him and faintly said "Tyler.. There is two lines." His face turned pale as if he saw a ghost and he said "Are you kidding me?" I thought he was angry at me! Thankfully, he took it a lot better then I did. He held me close and told me everything was going to be alright. Out of all the things Tyler and I talked about that night, their was one thing that really touched my heart. I had asked him if he thought we 'made a mistake', surprisingly he said no; that our child is not a mistake and that he loves our baby so much already.

Christmas came and I still didn't know what to think, a part of me wanted to believe that the line came out of no where and that it was a false positive.. so I took another test. This time the line was a little bit darker, but not by much.

The final test I took at home before my doctors conformation was on December 26th! This time their was not a doubt in my mind that I was pregnant. Finally it came to my senses that I have a baby growing in me. My boyfriend and I created something so powerful and beautiful, we created life.

Right now I am content with being pregnant! Tyler & I are scared to be young parents, but very excited at the same time. We think about our baby and can't help but think what a blessing it is to have such a perfect little baby in our lives. 

Mommy & Daddy love you so much already sweet pea, forever & always.
