My husband works in the tree industry so he is constantly in brush and weeds. Fast forward to last week. He comes home from work, kids go to bed... we start fooling around. Ya know, things that couples do.

Next day, I️ go to work. My co-worker says something about a rash on my neck. Im thinking “wow, I️ must have poison oak, shit” I️ leave work and come home. Try all the home remedies. Nothing is working.

I’m literally on my death bed.

Fast forward again to yesterday morning. I️ take myself to the ER because the itching and scratching is unbearable. I️ get rushed back and they look me over. They need a pregnancy test taken to make sure it is safe to get a cortisone shot. I️ go and pee in the cup and sit for what seems like an eternity.

The doctor comes back in with a bunch of pamphlets, I️ glance over and see—

“ADOPTION” and “ABORTION”

on top and suddenly my heart sinks.

She says “honey, you’re pregnant.” 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I️ immediately start ugly crying

The doctor is in shock because I’m crying and tries to calm me down. She’s like “is this a good thing????” I’m heaving YES in-between tears. Then I️ asked her to test again and explained to her that we had been trying for a long time after losing our last. She tests me again and it is positive!

I️ drive home and hand my husband the discharge paperwork.

He’s reading it out loud and looks at me

He jumped up and hugged & kissed me. He’s so happy! we told our boys, they completely freaked out & excited!

omg 😱😱💙🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈💜
