Best Day Of Our Life

Alternate Title:  2 Pink Lines

A wanted pregnancy starts out as the best day of your life, you have no idea how it will end...

We were 'lucky' and got pregnant pretty quickly.  While excited, we still had out "holy crap we're gonna have a baby" moment.  Here is the rundown of how I handled my early pregnancy:

1-Thought I had my period, but it was super short and super light.  Googled it (google is such a blessing and a curse) and thought it may be implantation bleeding.  Took an at home pregnancy test on Sept. 20, 2015....VERY faint line.  Could this be right? Did the cheap pregnancy tests that came with the ovulation tests from Amazon REALLY work...
2-...yes they do, a faint line still means pregnant.  Doctor confirmed positive on September 24, 2015.
3-September 25th called for an appointment while at work, bad idea.  Kept getting called over the radio to come support in a classroom where two students had a meltdown, had to hang up on the nurse.  When I arrived to the room they had dumped over bookshelves!
4-Called back and was told I'd have to wait until week 9, I tried to push to come in during week 8 because I was on Fall Break, but no luck.  Appt set for October 22, 2015.
5-Started googling all about pregnancy, downloaded the What to Expect app.  Loved watching the little videos every week telling me the size of the baby.
6-Kept it a secret, from everyone.  We chose not to say anything just in case it didn't "stick"

to be continued....
