Looking back I have to admit, I had been slacking! I wasn't getting out of bed before ten a.m, unless I forced myself! I had been falling asleep during e.v.e.r.y single movie we watched!! Seriously, a friend diagnosed me with cinema narcolepsy! And I would have to agree! Even if we pop in a movie at 8, I would be asleep before the beginning credits were over!! I had even been slacking with our volunteering! Oh, I go to help out all right, but I can't seem to pick myself off of the couch to Actually help out!! lol, I came to the conclusion that it was just because I was becoming uber lazy and brushed it off :) Until one day. . . I had this undeniable feeling that I was pregnant! Why? I have no idea!! It seemed like the only thing I could think of were babies!! And the only thing I dreamt about was babies!!! Seriously, You can talk to a good friend K.D. Buttas about it! I would go on and on about how my womb was aching, and couldn't stop myself from looking at my friends' babies on Facebook!! And I should add that it was a little unlike me, Alex is always the one yearning for a baby, and I was always the one saying we should wait. Well, it appears that the wait was over for us, and I didn't even know it yet!
So since I had this urge to find out if I was pregnant or not, I decided to pick up a pregnancy test from the BX, only to find out that they literally didn't have a single one on the shelf!! Which wasn't too unbelievable b/c EVERYONE is pregnant in Aviano, it literally IS in the water, and I believe it now! So I walked my hiney over to the Commissary, just to waste my time and realize that the commissary never has anything good that you actually need. Humph. So I bought some salt and vinegar Pringles and went on my way . . .So What next?? Visit the good 'ol doc! One little problem. It was Saturday. Dang it! So I had to wait until Monday, to officially find my answer, which wasn't so bad because Alex had an appointment scheduled, so I decided to join him on his 'joy ride' to the hospital. I call it a 'joy ride' because every time I drive in the car with him my blood pressure rises, it's been proven. Anyhow! So we go to the hospital, I pee in a cup, and await the results. . . . . . . .Minutes later, which seemed like DAYS I tell you, a nurse escorts me into the room Al is in, I figure it's just b/c Alex didn't want me sitting in the waiting room alone, but I quickly came to find out she brought me into the room to give me The Results. . .She handed me the piece of paper. . Which I had NO Idea how to read, by the way. . lol. And just stood there. . I looked at the piece of paper. . And in my mind all I could think of was. . You’re having a little girl. You're going to be a mom. You're pregnant! But the words that came out of my mouth were "What does this say? I don't know how to read this!" So the nurse swiftly came to my rescue and said, "you're pregnant." WHOOO man, I cannot even begin to describe the emotions that were running through my mind!! I was scared, nervous, excited, But above everything else. . For some seriously deranged reason, I kept thinking about my bright neon orange nail polish chipping off of my nails, and I thought . . .UGH how disgusting, mom's don't have nails like THIS! So I turned to Al, and smiled. I think the same emotions were running though his mind. . Aside from the nail polish, although I never asked him about it . . .
After a few minutes of talking alone in the exam room--and when I say talking. . There wasn't much of that going on, we were both pretty shocked and in awe! -- Our Doctor came in to congratulate us! :) A lot of people have asked us if the pregnancy was planned . . .So here's the truth, Alex and I 'tried' once. That's it, one time without birth control! Some day following we found out that Alex was retiring from the Air Force, so we decided not to 'try' again until we get settled with our next life. . But the damage had been done --So to say-- it was meant to be! So we're living proof that IT CAN happen your first time!! ;-)
