Brandon and I got back from Texas/Missouri from doing the alarm stuff in September. When we first got back I was sick and didn't take my birth control pills for a couple days because I was throwing up (the nurse said it should be okay and as long as we are being careful I wouldn't get pregnant).
So in October I was tired of being tired and exhausted all day long and having some other stomach problems I was thinking something was wrong. I'm either pregnant or I have mono all over again. So I decided while Brandon was gone to North Dakota again for another sales trip I'd take a pregnancy test (just to be sure). I wanted to do it while Brandon was gone because I already took about 3 pregnancy tests after we got married just because it was something new and kind of fun to take. So the day he left I went to the store and bought some.
I remember my sister telling me it's always best to take the test in the morning right after you wake up. So I woke up one morning (super nervous) and peed on a stick. I waited for what seemed like forever and I thought I was safe because I didn't see anything. I started washing my face and while I was brushing my teeth I looked at it again and what did I see? There was a really faint second pink line.
I started to panic... I didn't know what to do or who to tell. Brandon was gone and my mom and sisters are in Missouri. I took a picture on my phone of the test and sent it to my sister. She called me not even a minute later and right when I heard her voice I just start bawling and couldn't even talk. All I could say is "I don't know how this happened" my sister was so good to me and told me everything's going to be okay and this was meant to be. So then I call my mom and try to tell her (she couldn't even understand what I was saying because I was crying to hard). She asked if I told Brandon yet and right when she said that I got so nervous! I'm freaking out I don't want him to freak out too. So I got off the phone with my mom dreading to call Brandon.
Before I called Brandon I heard Gloria (my mother in law) upstairs so I texted her asking if she was alone and then she opens the door to the basement and says "Manda, you okay?" Of course I start crying again and right when she heard me she zoomed down the stairs not knowing what was wrong (it's funny now that I think of it). I'm crying and I hold up the test and she just hugs me and says everything is okay. She was so good to me when I really needed her. She just held me as I cried. What a great mother in law!!
Brandon called when I was crying with Glo and right away he could tell something was wrong and when I told him he was actually really excited!! So having Brandon and everyone else excited and supporting me helped me a lot with the stressed.
So that's the long story of the morning I found out I was pregnant. It was a BIG surprise but now Brandon and I are so excited for our little one to come and join our family in June!
