On August 4, 2011 I took a blood pregnancy test (beta) at my reproductive endocrinologist's office. At 2:35pm, Dr O called me saying that he had "good news for me". I was truly surprised because I had spotted the day before and was convinced that it was my period. Dr.O said that I was pregnant with a beta level of 152. I asked him that if that was a good level, and he said that it was in the normal range. I was so happy, but a little nervous because I had hoped for a higher beta.
After I got off the phone with Dr.O, I called John. He was at work, and was unable to answer. So then I called my parents, I talked to my mom first and then my dad. After that phone call, I dropped to my knees and prayed, thanking and praising God.
I left my house and went to Food Lion where I bought a chocolate chip cookie cake for John. On the cake, I had the baker write "Congratulations you're a dad". The ladies at the bakery were really friendly and very happy for me.
I then went to my acupuncture appointment. On my way to acupuncture, I called my best friend and told her the news. When I got home from acupuncture, John was home. I presented him with the cake. When he read it, he hugged and kissed me. We called his parents, aunts, uncles, & his best friend to tell them the news.
We celebrated at The Melting Pot. The waitress wrote congratulations in chocolate sauce on our desert plate and put a pink candle on it.
This day was so special and I will never forget it. The excitement, joy, & love as we started a journey that we had waited so long to begin.
