Finding Out:
What day did you find out you were pregnant?: I took my first pregnancy test on October 18th, 2013, which had a VERY faint blue line. I mean, VERY VERY VERY faint!!
How did you feel when you found out?: I was beyond shocked! I was still in disbelief that it could've happened so quickly that I kept taking tests - 7 positive at-home tests later, we decided it was time to make a doctor's appointment! The emotions through my body were complete shock and crazy excitement!!
{Just a few of the at-home tests... yup, I took pics of them! ha!}
How did the Daddy react?: Mark was in shock and disbelief too! He kept saying, "You mean that REALLY faint line?! Are you sure?!" However, he helped me keep it together and we talked about the next step... going to the doctor.
After the doctor's appointment: Auntie Heidi and cousin Calvin came to visit and go to lunch after our appointment (which the appointment had confirmed our exciting news!)! Heidi and Cal were some of the very first people to know!! It was wonderful to share the news and just visit with Heids and Cal! I also planned a "bun in the oven" announcement for Mark. I was so excited that he actually came home from work early that day! We spent the rest of the day in complete excitement and sharing lots of hugs and kisses.

Sharing the news with the new Grandparents: We decided to tell both sets of Grandparents on November 6th - Debbie (Mark's mom) was headed out of town the next day and we were going to a wedding on November 9th with my parents (and I would obviously not be drinking) - Plus we were just too excited not to share the news! We gave them each a pumpkin that said "Baby E, July 2014." They were all so excited! Our dads were both pretty speechless (with HUGE smiles on their faces!:! My mom said, "I knew it! Yayyy!!" and Debbie cried (tears of joy, of course)! All such amazing and special reactions!
