I guess I'm due in September!

Today, on 01/23/2016, I found out that I am pregnant with my first child. I'm still at a loss for words. I have been on birth control for four years and this week was the first time I missed my period. I waited an entire week before testing because I didn't want to believe it. I took a pregnancy test and within seconds, 'Pregnant' showed up on the screen. I was alone at home, though my doggies were with me. I cussed a lot and then cried. I'm confused and in absolute shock although I'm feeling kind of excited about this. I cannot believe I have a little life growing inside me. I will be telling my husband tonight when he comes home from work! I have prepared a little note for him inside The Very Hungry Caterpillar, his favorite childhood book.

I'll be taking another test in the morning to rule out false positives. But for now, I'm crying mostly because I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to my beloved alcohol!!
