The day we found out we would be PARENTS

Today is a Thursday and I thought I needed to write this down.  Monday, the day after mothers day, I took a pregnancy test.  The results showed up after about 30 seconds which shocked me because it says to wait 3 minutes.
I really wasn't expecting it to be positive.  We had so many months that I was slightly late but never was positive.  before I took the test I was thinking that I wasn't going to be pregnant but that it would be okay if I was.  Then all the sudden the results were positive and all I could say was "oh my god, we're pregnant" and then at that moment I walked around the house in a daze.  George was at work so I had no body to tell at the moment.   After I walked around the house in a daze for a while then I sat myself down and thought how I was going to tell George. I thought about all the ways I had wanted to tell him.  My original plan was to buy a car seat and put it in his back seat so it was there when he got off work.  But unfortunately that plan didn't work out because I didn't have enough time.  Instead I wrote a poem about it and revealed it that way. I met him at his work at the end of the day and his first words were "Are you serious?"
So here I am 4 days later, finally settled with the fact that I'm going to be a mom, and now I can't wait to decorate my nursery.  We aren't going to tell the parents until the first trimester is over and my first appointment is next Friday.   The first appointment will just be a health history.   The second appointment they will tell me how far along we are and then the third appointment we will here the heart beat. How Exciting.

Bachelors in Science of Nursing

Although I already had my degree and was working as a nurse at our local hospital I was determined to get my bachelors degree since it was what I had set my goal as when I first graduated high school. I'm proud to say I officially have my Bachelors in Science of Nursing.
