I wanted to remember the day I found out I was pregnant with Skylar, however, I'm blogging about it a little late. On January 3, 2010 I got REALLY sick with what we thought was the flu. WhiteGlove came out that Sunday to diagnose me. I tested negative for everything. Strep, Mono, and the Flu. She then asked me if there was a chance I could be pregnant? I told her its not really possible but I guess there could be a chance. Then I asked if what I have were pregnancy symptoms. She said "Well, this is exactly how I found out I was pregnant." I then began to freak out..I didn't really care for the lady to start out with. She was asking me some personal questions that weren't necessary. Anyway, She ended up giving me a pregnancy test that came back negative..Whew! She said I probably had the flu and prescribed me to Tamaflu. As sick as I was with the "flu" no one else got it. Which I thought was strange considering that Saxton and Steven were around me all weekend and the flu is highly contagious. It took me a week to recover and I was back to work and normal life. A week went by and I realized I had missed something...ahem...if you get my drift. I figured it was just because I was so sick and my body was thrown off. On the night of January 20, 2010 I decided to take a pregnancy test. I thought maybe seeing the negative would through my body back into gear. I took the test before getting in the shower without telling Steven. When I looked at the test one line was really doted and the other was pretty solid...I just thought there's NO WAY. I text two of my best girlfriends (Ja'Tina and Jessica) and they both agreed I was pregnant. I still didn't believe it. I woke up the next morning and took another one...same results. So, on my way in to work I went and bought a digital test that would show me more clearly. On my way I ended up throwing up in the bag the test was in. At that point I was thinking Oh MY GOODNESS!! I am pregnant! But still didn't truly believe it. I got to work, did my normal morning routine and finally went to take the digital test. PREGNANT! I immediately started to panic! I called my doctor to get some advice on where to go from there. I had to go all day without telling Steven, which was pretty hard. When I got home Steven could tell something was wrong...I was just sooo nervous to tell him. I needed him to stay calm because I was flipping out. I finally just came out and told him as I was unloading the dishwasher.. His exact words (sorry Dad) were "Oh, Shit." We were both in shock! I added the story about the "Flu" because I don't think I actually had the Flu. I think that is the way my body reacted to the little alien taking over my body. Needless to say, we are very blessed to be able to welcome another child to our family. I am so thankful to have a healthy pregnancy and such a supportive family and friends. I love you all!
