The Shock of my Life

What was the biggest shock of my life turned out to be one of the greatest of my life. My now husband was going to be deployed to Iraq and the last thing on our mind was a baby. In fact it was the one thing we wanted to prevent. It started with the typical not feeling well, but since I was on birth control I associated it with that. My mother in law as well as my mom were convinced that I was pregnant, of course I thought they were CRAZY and if I knew at this moment how to make the word crazy bigger I would have. Just to really drive the point home. After a weekend of what I thought to be a bug of some kind, although I was not throwing up, Chris and I stopped of at Walgreens and picked up a pregnancy test. My goal was to prove the moms wrong so they would stop with their banter. WELL, when those two line showed up as I stood in the downstairs bathroom I was immediately IN SHOCK! I went into Chris's room, yes he still lived at home, and just sat on the bed in a daze. he looked at me and asked Well. All I could say was "I am". Chris was very calm and said ok, whatever you want to do is fine. The first thing I did was cry, he held me and was very calming. After a while he looked at me and said you should call your mom. At midnight I called my mom to tell her that I was pregnant. Not your ideal moment of telling your mom, sobbing on the phone. It took me a few days to tell anyone else, I needed to wrap my head around it and determine how I felt. I decided I was excited!!! Then came my wonderful Jameson. His arrival is a whole different story!!
