I had actually started taking some pregnancy tests a couple of days before and it had a faint line on the test. I didn't know if that was a true positive or not, seeing how I hadn't ever been pregnant before, so I continued to take tests... after test... after test! i even sent my friend Amanda a text message with picture attached asking if she saw the line! =) I became a little obsessed with it all and even though we wanted to be pregnant, I was in a state of denial, too, not believing that it could be true. Plus, I was taking the test so early (even earlier than the "5 days sooner" that they promote) that I thought it wouldn't be accurate either. Little did I know that I had twins, raising my hormone levels so much higher than a singleton pregnancy, allowing the test to show results much sooner. We were both so ecstatic and couldn't wait to tell family. We bought a couple of diaper bags filled with diapers, wipes, and books about grandmas and grandpas to give to our parents as a way of sharing our news. Both of our moms were a little "slow" at getting the drift, but our fathers mentioned to them that we may have been trying to tell them something! =) Everyone was unbelievably excited and quickly changed gears into Baby Land!
I took pictures of the positive pregnancy tests with the dates written on them, but for some reason cannot find them... I'll keep looking. I have one that shows about 13 all together! I guess that's the pessimist in me-- not believing what I was seeing! haha =)
I will never forget that day babies, when I realized I had life growing inside of me! God truly blessed our family that day!
