Later that night, I went shopping. In the dressing room, I caught a glimpse of my stomach in the mirror. At that moment, I convinced myself to purchase a pregnancy test! **not to mention i spent $90 dollars on groceries for MYSELF (and a baby) that night!** Definately, a sign!
When I got to my Mawmaw's house (where i've been staying while our house is being remodeled and Aus is working in Houston), I took the test. I sat it on the counter and gave it a few minutes, expecting it to read the usual.. NOT PREGNANT. Instead, I saw PREGNANT!
"OHHHHH MMMYYYYYY GOOOOOOSSSSHHHHH, MAWWW MAWWWW!" I ran to find her.. "Does that say PREGNANT?" She said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, get the instructions!" It was as if she thought the instructions would read--there is a such thing as false positive. She read, "If test reads pregnant...see your doctor." Tears (of joy and excitement) filled my eyes!
I ran to my bedroom, waited what seemed like FOREVER for my iPhone to charge (the battery always dies at the worst of times) and wondered how to tell Austin. By the way, he knew nothing about me taking a test. Not a word.
I took a picture of the test and emailed it to him with the subject: guess what!? and the email read, "I'm having your baby!!!!!! :)" With the picture below. Since he checks his email religiously, I knew it would be minutes before he called me.
Less than 5 minutes passed, and he called. "WHAT??? ARE YOU SERIOUS??.. ARE YOU SERIOUS??.. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? THE PICTURE IS NOT CLEAR, DOES THAT SAY PREGNANT?? SKYLA, DONT LIE TO ME, IM FIXING TO START CALLING PEOPLE.. OKAY, OKAY LET ME GO! I LOVE YOU, BYE." Click. Just like that, except definately with a few more "ARE YOU SERIOUS??"
About 9pm. We started to call EVERYONE. Next, was my momma. She was already in bed, I asked her to go check her email. "Skyla, I just got in bed." "GO CHECK IT MOMMA, HURRY!" She didn't have her glasses on, and couldn't read it! She said, "I can't see, read it to me." I said, "It's a picture." "All I can see is Clearblue, IS THAT A PREGNANCY TEST?? WHAT DOES THAT SAY??" "It says you're going to be a grandma!" "OHHH MYY, OHHH MYY, OHHHH MYYY"-- over and over again! She told my dad and brothers. My dad responding, "You know how that happens!?" My oldest brother, sitting up in the bed coming out of a hard sleep. And my youngest brother in denial, "no she's not, no she's not!"
Then.. I called grandparents, family, and friends. Also, I took test #2 (reading PREGNANT, too).
This was such a special day in my life. The realization that inside of me is a baby who two people (lovers) created! It's just amazing. A precious life that we will love and take care of forever. how special.
Still (24 hours later), I am in shock. It's just hard to imagine that inside of me is a baby.. growing. I love it so much already. And smile everytime I think of it (which is every second). I'm so proud to be a parent and mommy, soon.
I believe that this baby is a miracle--a prophesied, God given miracle.
