I had already taken two at-home tests that week, and both came back negative. I kept thinking that maybe I {somehow} didn't do them right. Pregnant? Not pregnant? I honestly had no idea. I went on to the appointment without telling anyone. I will never be able to explain the feeling I felt when the doctor came in and said, "Well, Brittany, you are five weeks pregnant!" Happy. Surprised. Anxious. Excited. Amazed. I think she could see the emotions all over my face, because the next thing out of her mouth was, "Sooo.. Is this a good thing? Bad thing?" All I could do was smile. I could not believe that I had a tiny little human growing inside of me. I wanted to rush out of the office and scream it to the world, but I somehow managed to keep it all to myself {kind of} for nearly 7 hours.
Those 7 hours DRUG by. I had to tell Vonte face-to-face, but he didn't get off work until late that night. Right after my appointment, I picked up Jayleigh for our regular Friday night sleepover. She was the first person I told, but only because she had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. :) I was trying to think of a way to tell Vonte without really telling him, so I went out and bought two onesies {one boy, one girl} and put them in a regular gift bag. When he got home from work, I told him I had something for him, but that he had to let me record him opening it. I can still, to this day, picture the face he made when he stuck his hand in the bag and felt something fuzzy. His reaction was priceless. He pulled the onesies out slowly and asked, "What is this? Are…. these…. for Jayleigh??" The look on his face when he realized what those teeny tiny outfits were really for was so, so sweet. Such an amazing moment that I'll never forget.
I cannot believe it's already been a year since we found out we were going to be parents. November 8th, 2013 - the day life as we knew it began to change. One of the very best days of our lives.
