One year ago today....

One year ago today was the day of my family's annual Christmas party. I woke up in the morning and grabbed the last pregnancy test in my 3 -pack. Who care if the other 2 were negative in the previous few days - I knew he was in there :) After every negative test I would rub my belly and say " stick in their Vincent" it's just too early right now. I know you are there.

Sat, 12/20/08, my first morning urine was.. negative. Well, there seemed to be a very very faint line, that you had to hold the test just right to see. Ugh. Evap line. I tossed it and went back to bed. When I woke up again with the hubby I pulled it out of the trash and showed him (yes, I have a habit it appears of pulling previously negative pregnancy tests in the trash and then seeing they look positive). It was so faint.. and a blue test with has more evap lines. So we went to go run a couple errands and get some coffee (ice I believe - unseasonably warm for december in new England), and a box of FRER tests.

I peed on it. There was no doubt there was two lines there. I cried from joy and fear. The hubby laughed at me for being so conflicted.

That night at the family party there was no heavy drinking for me, no light drinker either actually. I showed my mom the tests and we broke the news :)

Now today is one year later. In 52 weeks I have been pregnant for 44+3 weeks. I'm really hoping 2010 brings our rainbow.
