January 11th 2013- A New Adventure
Still tired from coming back from our amazing trip to Mexico, I woke early on January 11th and had a funny feeling this was it! Of course I've taken tests before but this time I felt different...after two long minutes later there it was 2 pink lines! With Mark sleeping in the next room I stood in the bathroom and was in both shock, awe and jittery! I thought for a moment on what to do next. I knew I wanted to tell Mark in a special way but my emotions got the best of me and I flung on the lights, and before I could even say "Guess what" Mark blurted "We're pregnant!"..I stood there nodding away. We were both overly excited and happy, I couldn't get back to sleep! And so continues our ride on the pregnancy train!
