Christopher and I got marred on June 12, 2010. The day was perfect! The lighting was great for photos, we had a beautiful location selected, there was no rain (which we all had heavily anticipated) and we were surrounded by many of our loving and supporting friends and family. We had a wonderful reception deemed by many as, "the party of the century." We were pretty pleased with our planning and the turn out of friends and family. The night was filled with dancing, great food and tons of fun.
Once home on Sunday we finally had a little time to relax. We opened some gifts, unpacked and decided to go on our weekly trip to the store for much needed household items. While at the store, we bought a pack of pregnancy tests. Afterall, we were married at this point and would probably begin seriously trying to conceive. Once home, I thought, "I should take one of these tests, just to make sure." I mean it wasn't impossible that I could already be pregnant but highly improbable.
I took the test, waited the necessary amount of time and went back to check it, FULLY expecting the test to be negative. To the shock of Christopher and myself, there were TWO, yes TWO blue lines. We were pregnant!! I immediately took another test which confirmed the results of the first one. We were definitely expecting. Over the course of 29 hours, we had gone from a bachelor and bachelorette to a married couple with a bun in the oven. Needless to say, we both experienced some emotional overload. Neither of us had really even had a chance to get used to being married, and now we were going to be parents?
We both went to bed with our heads swimming with thoughts of the future, so many unknowns had just multiplied in possibilities by something smaller than an appleseed.
The next day I made arrangements to have a test done at a doctor's office. At this point I was still telling myself that because the tests I took were generic (save every penny where I can) that the results couldn't be trusted. The doctor came back into the room with a smile on her face and let me know that yes, my thoughts were correct, I was definitely pregnant, and seven weeks along at that!!
That evening Chris and I bought a couple baby books and began our process of becoming parents.
Having had a couple of days to think and really soak in all the emotions and events of June 12-14, I think all of the events added up to make it the best weekend of my life... this far.
