I'm Pregnant!

I had been waking up at 5am the last couple days.  Probably in anticipation of taking the tests.  This morning I was up again at 5am and my test was definitely positive!  I was so excited I couldn’t stop looking at it.  Joe was at his office but hurried home to view the results.  “We did it!” He’d been so confident it would happen right away all along.  He kissed me and we sat on the couch together hugging.  He jokingly said, “Yup, I knew I’d do it on the first try.”  We laughed.  I was so happy, I just didn’t think there was any way I could keep it to myself.  I texted a picture of the positive test to my friend an hour before we were supposed to meet for a cooking class.  At class she came over and hugged me.  We were both smiling and I started jumping up and down in excitement.  Our other friend we were taking the class with showed up and I couldn’t help but tell her.  She hugged me. 

I know technically you aren’t supposed to tell anyone until 12 weeks but I want my closest friends to know.  If something happens I would need love and support to deal with that anyway as it would devastate me.  So I decided early on to tell my closest friends.  When I got home I texted my best friend from college.  I had only told her we were trying the week before.  I sent her a picture of the positive test with a text “Well, that was fast.”  Her response, “Good lord.  I’ll be excited once I get over being baffled at how little time that took.”  She immediately volunteered to throw me a baby shower.  I emailed the picture to my best friend from high school with the title Ok, I lied.  I had just talked to her on Thursday regarding my trip to the east coast in Aug.  She asked me if I was pregnant and I’d told her no since I had the negative test that morning.  She said she’ll definitely fly out here for the baby shower.  I still can’t believe this is finally really happening!  It’s seems so unreal.
