And Then It Happened in The REAL Baby Journey!

Written yesterday morning before I headed into work, before I talked to Rob, before anyone but me and the puppy had spoken about it. I thought I'd let you guys in on a little secret - the tiniest, newest, barely existent secret - because you've been my best and biggest advocates through this whole thing. Buckle up, kids. Here we go. :)

First off: Ho. Lee. SHIT!!!!! :) :) :)

Took a test because I'm two days late and the little cheapo lab test strips had a faaaaaaint second line. Enough that my ever optimistic self though "Ehh, let's try a EPT big name store test?"

And lo and behold?

POSITIVE. PREGNANT.

A huge grin spread across my face and suddenly...this was the best day of my life. Forget that I have to work today or that Rob isn't home or that I am the earliest of early, barely even four weeks...I. Am. Pregnant.

I quietly whispered to Claire "You might get to be a big sister, Puppy!" I couldn't even say it all the way out loud, it is too new and secret and my thing that I quietly own that is making a new meaning behind everything I do.

I feel honored and proud and humbled and ecstatic that some little group of cells picked me to be its bed to grow in. I hope it sticks. I hope I get share this news with more and more people, that these aching cramps that I've been having every single day for the past week are nothing, that when I surprise Rob tonight he will cry (maybe just a little :)). I am over the moon. Absolutely, 100%, feet and heart and head off the Earth and orbiting the moon.

It happened. It finally, finally happened. Thank you, universe. Thank you, powers that be. Thank you.
