For my birthday, April 28, 2008, Hector gave me a very special present. He gave me a real cute gift bag with tissue paper neatly placed in the top. I had no idea what he had planned to get me. When I began opening it, the first thing I discovered was a small container of Gerber baby food. I was very confused about why he would give me baby food. There was still more in the bag so I kept going. The next thing I found was a box and soon discovered it was a pregnancy test box. I looked up him wondering if he was thinking what I was thinking. I began to get teary eyed because I knew this was his special romantic way of telling me that he was ready for a baby. I was so excited and happy. We have been married for a little over two years and I have been ready for babies for awhile and finally my Hector was too! We love each other so much and are very happy together - I can't wait to have a new addition to the family.
We decided to use an ovulation calculator online and begin trying right away. I started my period on May 1st. We made love on the days the calculator suggested and around the time I was due to ovulate my boobs - really my nipples - got very sore. This had never happened before and they were so sensitive that even the shower water hurt. I didn't think much of it though. A few days before my period was scheduled to come, I began having real bad cramps. Not knowing when my period would actually begin, every time I went to the restroom I expected it to be there. The night before I thought I would start, Hector and I agreed that I would take a test in the morning just to see. I woke up at about 2 AM needing to use the restroom. Hec woke up too so I took the test then because we were both so curious to find out. I was so nervous. I didn't want to get my hopes up because this was our first month trying to get pregnant and I knew it was probably a long shot. I peed on the stick and left it in the restroom. I came into the bedroom and sat on the bed as Hector grinned and watched the clock. He was so excited and he had been thinking for awhile that we were pregnant for some reason. I forgot to mention that I had an awful taste in my mouth for a few days now and a bright blue vein on y left breast from the nipple down - all new and unusual. When time was up - I told Hec to go and look and I waited on the bed. He came right back with the biggest smile I have ever seen. I was shocked - thrilled but totally shocked. I had to see for myself. There was two very dark pink lines on the test - a definite positive!! We stayed up for quite a bit of the night talking baby talk and about our new adventure ahead.
We are having a baby!!!
