Our first munchkin...

Dustin & I are happy to announce our very first munchkin...coming June 12, 2014

I first found out about being pregnant while I was at work{great place right?}.  I hadn't been feeling quite myself so I googled my symptoms.  The number one search result was pregnancy...

I had two hours left of my work day but I couldn't wait...so I headed across the street to the local Fresh Market to grab a few pregnancy tests{one is not enough}. 

10 min later and I was back at work...took the first pregnancy test...waited for what felt like an eternity and then lines started to appear on the test. one line....and then slowly....two lines emerged.  Wait what does that mean again?  I re-read the idiot proof directions on the box. 

• "one line=not pregnant"  
• "two lines=pregnant"

I had to take another test to be sure I had done this right.  Crazy enough the same thing happened again.  

Here were the slew of emotions I felt all within the first 30 seconds of finding out I was pregnant:

• So extremely excited
• Scared out of my mind
• Disbelief
• Tired
• Worried
• Ecstatic

...and then a feeling of being completely and utterly overwhelmed.

I left work in a daze and pulled into my driveway 30 minutes later with no real recollection of how I had gotten there.

I sat in my car wondering.. "Should I tell Dustin now?  Do I wait?  Do I do something cute to tell him?"  I had no idea...so I decided I wouldn't tell him yet until I could wrap my head around the whole thing.  

For those of you who know me well you know that I am OCD clean.  As soon as I walked in the house I started cleaning up a frenzy and completely avoiding Dustin at all costs.  He caught on rather quickly and asked me what was wrong.  To which I kept replying "nothing...nothing at all."  Lets face it...I'm an open book of emotions.  Soon Dustin had me cornered and was interrogating me.  Well in my current state I didn't last long...and in fact Dustin guessed what had me in an uproar before I had to mention a thing..."you're pregnant?" he guessed calmly.  "Yup" I said...and then a flood of waterworks started.  Dustin laughed{the nice kindof sensitive way..not the 'you're dumb sort of way'} and asked why I was crying...I had no idea why I was crying...but there I was spewing like a fountain.  Dustin gave me a good pep talk and a back rub before I was finally able to compose myself.  After my very traumatic 'you're going to be  experience we headed out to dinner to celebrate!
