We're Pregnant!!!!

We had used an ovulation test this time cause my periods started being off by about 4 days the last couple months. Sure enough, the test proved I would be ovulating 4-5 days after I thought I would based on my p-tracker app. I had already had a physical scheduled with the doctor for the week after so while I was there I asked her if she could do blood work while I was there. She said yes even though this was about 5 days after we figured the blood test might pick up something an at home pregnancy test couldn't detect this early. I went ahead and took a pee test the next day (Thursday May 23rd) at home cause I couldn't wait. It was negative. I got a call from the doctors office the next day (Friday) saying the blood work was negative as well. I went back to the pee test from the day before to see if I squinted me eyes, maybe a faint second line would appear on the stick. No such luck.
I waited until that Saturday when we were having a BBQ at our house and took another test before I had a couple of adult beverages. It was very quickly negative.
At this point I was sure I was not pregnant and can't lie, I was very disappointed. I was suppose to start my period that Monday, but knew based on the ovulation test that it would be about 4 days late. Friday rolled around and I was feeling moody, crampy, and bloated. Brad and I went for a run and I told him I was going to start my period soon. But when it didn't start by mid day on Saturday, I started to wonder again. The night before (Friday night) I was reading all this stuff about when implantation happens and when your hormone levels spike enough to be detected. So I knew the blood work was probably too early. I didn't want to get my hopes up but started to think that there was a chance that I could still be pregnant and not know it yet. I put my hand on my belly and prayed to God that there would be a baby in there.
The next day on the way to friends BBQ I told Brad I needed to stop at the store quick for beverages and tampons. When I got in there I grabbed a water, sprite, and a pregnancy test. I took it quick in the bathroom and within 30 seconds it clearly showed two lines! I started crying and while in shock and shaking I went to the parking lot to meet Brad. We were already running late and as he started to drive away I asked him to pull over quick. He responded very frustrated with "why, we are already late" I convinced him to pull over and pulled out the pregnancy test while still shaking from shock myself said "We're pregnant!!!!" Brad said "We can be 5 hours late" We hugged and took a moment to take it all in. I really couldn't believe it. I was relieved and happy to be making forward progress towards our dream. All the while thinking about Liam!
