This day last year...

Was the day that Tim and I found out I was pregnant....

I had been cranky for a few days- so Tim jokingly said: "What's wrong with you, are you pregnant or something?"

We both laughed because that thought was so ridiculous... then I started thinking about it... figured I'd get a test just to be sure I'm not...

So I drove to RiteAid, got my test, came home... did what you do... and it turned pink with two lines right away! Sooo I got out the directions (which are HUGE) and realized I couldn't figure out this marvel of technology since my brain had shut down...

Sooo I went running down the stairs to our front door where I plastered the directions and the test against the screen door and yelled through the door: "I forgot how to read!!! What does this mean???"

Tim turned white, and we stared at the test a bit. So we decided it could be a fluke, and we should test again, so we went to RiteAid and bought 10 more tests in different brands... I think the cashier that had just checked me out 10 minutes earlier thought we were pretty funny.

Every single test turned pink immediately- no waiting 3 minutes here!

Sooo, I called my best friend who was due on that day to tell her. Tim called his sister at midnight once we had stopped staring at the wall blankly, and we told the rest of the family later that week. Now Kat is 4 months old.

From being surprised, unprepared, and not ready for any of this... I think I've grown into motherhood admirably.

What a delightful little girl was announced in such a surprising way!
