This morning I had the thought that I should take a pregnancy test. I've taken many of these before and of course they have always been negative, but this time was different. I was expecting to see only one line as I looked at the test, but to my surprise there were TWO lines! I immediately put it back down on the edge of the tub and stared at the wall for a minute, only to turn back to the test seconds later and recheck it. There were still two very prominent lines. I couldn't stop looking at it, and then I kept saying to myself, "I'm pregnant!" I didn't quite know what to do next, I was still kind of in a daze. Steven was still sleeping so I decided to just continue going about my morning like I always did. I got my bowl of cereal and sat down at the table to eat it. I could barely eat because my heart was racing so fast and I felt like a huge ball of nerves. I then began to read from the Book of Mormon and my nerves started to get a little better, until Steven got up. When he got up he went straight to the couch and curled up with a blanket. My mind was racing trying to figure out how I was going to tell him. This was always in our plan, it just came a month or two early. He called me over to lay on the couch with him, which I did and we cuddled into each other. He started telling me about the dream he'd had the night before and afterwards he asked what I was thinking about. I told him I was trying to think of a clever way to tell him that I was pregnant. He went quiet and I could tell he was in shock. He said are you serious, you're really pregnant? I said yes and got up to go get the pregnancy test so I could show him the proof. He looked at it and said, "Yep there's two lines you're pregnant". We then sat on the couch for a little while still in shock and saying over and over again that we're pregnant as if trying to convince ourselves. It was a very surreal moment, and neither of us could really believe this moment was happening. Like I said before it came as an unexpected surprise, and although it hasn't quite sunk in yet what all this means we are very excited about it!
