But we kept 'trying' and one night all my doubts vanished.
It was a Friday night - June 12th. Lucas and I had gone out for dinner. After being thrown off schedule the month before, I really had no idea when to be expecting 'my friend' and when was the right time to test. I decided, 'what the heck - let's do this thing.' Lucas was against it. I believe his exact words were: 'if you wanna waste $4 go ahead' (words that will forever live in emphamy, no doubt).
So while he was unloading the car, I went to our bathroom and took the test. Before I could even get my pants zipped back up that stick was blazing positive. I couldn't believe it! I looked at the stick - looked at the box - looked at the stick....
I'm pregnant!
I ran downstairs with the stick in my pocket, trying to act as calm and collected as I possibly could. I didn't do a very good job. I immediately showed Lucas the stick and tears started streaming down my face. Without the box, Lucas had no idea what the two lines meant. But judging the huge smile and river of tears on my face, I guess he figured it out pretty quickly.
We are going to be parents!
What an awesome moment that was. We hugged. We cried. We stared at the test in disbelief. And disbelief made me run to the bathroom and take another test (I have a stockpile). AGAIN - obviously positive!
I was so excited and so nervous! I wanted to go immediately to the doctor but had to wait until Monday morning to call. So Monday morning at 7:55 a.m. I started calling! When I got a hold of the receptionst, she congratulated me and scheduled my appointment for a week and a half later. A week and a half later?!? I couldn't stand it!!!
But alas, I did. And here we are today - happy and healthy with a baby on the way!
I am so excited to experience all the ups and downs of pregnancy and share them with you. More anxiously, I am anticipating the day when I become a mother and Lucas becomes a father! How amazing!
Less than 7 months to go! Let the countdown begin!

Eeee! I got the chills just reading this!
I remember when we were trying for our last one, the excitement of seeing those lines! I think I did about 4 tests just to be sure! LOL
Besides being awesome parents, you two are going to have one GORGEOUS baby!
This is sooo exciting!! You're going to be a great mom!
That's so awesome!!! From two years and about 6,792 tests, I know what you mean! I was so used to barely looking at them knowing that they would be false that when we DID have a positive one, I didn't realize it until TWO DAYS later!!
Yeah. Baby brains struck early.
At any rate, I LOVED pregnancy - it is such an amazing feeling!
