So, I kind of posted this one out of order seeing as though Father's day was about a week after we found out that we are expecting! You see,during the first year of trying I had dreamt up all of the fun and crazy ways that I could tell Mike that he was going to be a father. I had some really good ideas, so please let me know if you are interested in telling someone their life is about to change forever! Sadly, after a year, things were not such a surprise anymore. To tell you the absolute truth, I was 110% certain that I was NOT pregnant the month that we got the surprise of our life. It was our 2nd round of clomid and 4th IUI and I was just praying that my period would come so that we could move on to the next step of the infertility process. However, I stuck to my routine of peeing on a stick (home pregnancy test) the first day that it is actually humanly possible to tell if you are indeed knocked-up. I had just gotten home from working a brutal 24 hour shift and could barely hold my eyes open as I stumbled into the bathroom, which is not the optimal situation when you are trying to pee on something. I just knew it was going to be negative, so I placed the test on the bedside table, then proceeded to dive into bed and pass into my usual coma as I often do after work. I awoke a few short minutes later to Mike shaking my shoulder asking if I had looked at the pregnancy test, which by the way is impossible if your eyes are closed Mike! I could not believe my eyes, as there was the faintest-of-faint second line staring back at me. I jumped straight out of bed (I have not moved like that since I was 12 years old) and I ran to the window to shed some light on the situation. It was true...Mike even saw it too, but he did not believe it! After hugs, kisses and alot of tears of joy we headed to Kirby Lane for a celebration breakfast. On the way home Mike pulled into Walgreens, and literally bought out their entire stock of home pregnancy tests. As soon as we got home he requested that I pee on another, and another and then another (hence the millions of tests you see in the picture, which is only the half of it) which to our elation, all came back positive.
As you can guess, I did not technically get to "surprise" Mike with the news of a lifetime. That being said, I cannot imagine a more perfect way to share our happiness together. So, I constructed a neat little present to celebrate the first of this special occasion. The moral of my incredibly long story is...Mike is going to be a father and he could not be happier!
