What I'm looking for in this blog is to attract many young expecting or new moms and to get opinions and advice from experienced moms. I want a place where I can write all my new experiences in hopes someday I will look back on all this and smile. I guess the best place to start is finding out I was a newly expecting mother.
  November 5th, 2010 at about 8-9 that evening is when I took my first at home test. I peed on that dang stick and the one little pink line came up right away so I thought everything was going to be just fine. I put the test down and continued to wash my hands. By the time I was done washing my hands and cleaning up the box and instructions the other faint little pink line came through. (And yes I did try to shake the test like it was an etch a sketch.) Scared and shaking, I went into the bedroom to let Dylan know that we were expecting a baby. He didn't react the way was expecting but, to be honest, I had no idea what I was expecting. I know seeing two lines on that stick was not it. I didn't exactly believe the first test either or maybe I was just in denial but I asked Dylan take me to Wal-Mart so I could buy more. I think he was under the impression I was just running in to buy another test, however, I came out with 3 more. We went home and took another one that night, the 3rd that next morning, and the 4th Sunday morning. All with the same results as the first test.
 I can't even begin to describe my feelings at that point. I was scared to death and had no idea what I was going to do with a baby. But, I was also excited. I knew I wanted children someday I just didn't expect to be 20 and a sophomore in college when my first baby decided to come along. Although, who's ever truly ready for their first child? So, Monday morning we went to the Dr and she confirmed my results from the 4 at home tests that I took. Laughing that I took so many in the first place. It was official, I was going to be a mommy. We scheduled the first ultrasound to figure out how far along I was and to see this little miracle that Dylan and I created. We were both scared to death but we were both excited about our baby and this new phase of our lives we were now entering into. We had no idea what we were going to do or how we were going to afford a baby but, in the end, everything works out just how it was always meant to be.
