A year ago today...

A year ago today I excitedly and nervously walked up the stairs to my bathroom to take a pregnancy test HOPING and PRAYING it would come up positive. Even though the pregnancy was planned I still felt surprised when after MAYBE a second the test came up positive. I cried the happiest tears like I did when Jeremy proposed and on our wedding day.

In my head I had always thought about the way I would want to tell Jeremy. In the past friends and I had told stories how we would want to do it and I had read online stories. In that moment I didn't even think about it, I just jumped in my car knowing I had about an hour before Jeremy would be home from work and headed to Meijer. I bought a bouquet of flowers, pink roses and lillies (the same flowers we had at our wedding) and I bought 2 bottles of wine, one he could drink and non-alcoholic for me. :)

When I came home I put the bouquet into a vase, wrote out a special message on a card, sealed the envelope and displayed it for Jeremy for when he came home. I hid the pregnancy test so I could show him as well.

Jeremy knew I was supposed to get my period that day. (Later on he told me he knew something was up because he said I was "too happy" and had checked the bathroom for the pregnancy test but didn't see it, but was hoping that was what it was ) When he came home I told him a special delivery came for us but I had wanted to wait to open until he came home. I showed him the flowers and gave him the card. He opened it, read it and gave me the biggest smile. I went and got the test and showed it to him.

We were going to be parents, and now a year later we are! :)
