The Day I Found Out I Was Pregnant

The day that I found out I was pregnant was exactly one week ago. March 14Th, 2008 I took 3 pregnancy tests that were all positive.



My daughter Lisa had been insisting that I was pregnant because, well I was late. I told her that I doubted I was, and pretty much blew it off.



She kept insisting that I take a pregnancy test. So, I bought one and decided on Friday to take it. I peed in a cup and called for Lisa to come in the bathroom and give me my test. My thoughts at the time were that the test would be negative, and she would stop telling me I am pregnant.



I sat on the bathroom floor while she sat on the edge of the tub and performed the test for me. After about 30 seconds, she starts saying "OH MY GOSH MAMA!!! OH MY GOSH!!! OH MY GOSH!!!". At the time I am sitting on the floor telling her, "You better NOT be playing with me!!". She hands me the test, and it is positive. However, I noticed that the 2 minutes were not up that are required before you read your test results. So, I told her to lay it back down, we have to wait the full 2 minutes.



Once the 2 minutes were up, we looked again. It was still positive. I was in shock and told her to do the other 2 tests that came in the package as well.



The test I used was EPT.



So, I called my husband and told him. He thought I was playing with him and demanded that he talked to Lisa. Lisa talked to Ed and told him we were not playing and that I was indeed pregnant. He was excited, but yet sounded scared that he did not want to get his hopes up and then have them crushed.



Lisa and I were leaving to go to Magee Mississippi that day to stay the weekend with Ed. So, we took the positive pregnancy tests with us to show him. After seeing the tests were positive with his own eyes, he was extremely happy about it!!
