today marks the one year anniversary of the day we found out i was pregnant. my period was 2 days late but i really wasn't expecting anything. after all, i had been late before and it was always nothing. besides, i was at the end of my rope with all of the fertility treatments and i was sure that it was never going to work for me. john and i had plans to go up to santa barbara for the weekend to celebrate our 4 year anniversary (a week early) so i figured i would take a pregnancy test so i would know for sure and wouldn't have to think about it throughout the entire weekend. i woke up early on the morning we were set to leave and took a test. i didn't even tell john i was going to. i did my thing and expected to see nothing, as usual. but, to my suprise there was a very, very faint pink line where there had never been one before. i was shocked and didn't want to get excited until i knew for sure. i crawled back in bed and john (who was still very sleepy) asked me what was going on. i told him that i took a test and a very faint pink line showed up. he said, "that's more than has ever shown up before, right?" and i said yes, but that i didn't want to get excited until i knew for sure. he JUMPED out of bed and drove to the store to buy some more tests. he came back with 6 more pregnancy tests (2 boxes of different kinds)! i took 2 more tests and they all came up positive. i started crying tears of happiness and then realized that i had 3 good eggs on that cycle and that i could possibly be pregnant with triplets! i was now crying out of fear and said, "i don't know if i can handle three!" to which john replied, "i can handle three" while giving me a big hug. it didn't seem real.
so, now we had another reason to celebrate! it made the weekend so much more special than it already was. my parents rented us a mustang convertible (a late b-day gift for john) so we could drive up the coast and have some fun in the sun. we were both on cloud nine. i'll never forget that day. the day that i knew that my baby was on his way to join our family. i couldn't wait to meet him.
