I'm a little upset. My husband and I had been trying for more than a year to conceive, and it looked like there was no hope. So we both accepted it and made new life plans. I decide it was a good time to start the process of getting a service dog now (Having the dog would add to your monthly expenses, so without planning for a baby, we would definitely have the funds).

So I had an appointment yesterday to talk with my doctor so he could help me fill out my application and I could give him his portion of it. The whole last week, I had a few weird symptoms, and my husband had been joking that I was pregnant. In the morning, right before I left for my appointment, I took a test just to shut him up; and good crap, it's positive.

I have no idea what I'm supposed to do now. My mom offered to help me with the initial payment for the dog; and my husband says we can afford both the baby and the dog, but I think he underestimates the cost of a baby.

I'm so confused and upset. But I'm submitting my application anyway, and if I'm accepted, we'll make decisions from there. But for now, I'm just so stressed.

Does anyone have any words of encouragement? Or just something to make me smile? I'm so stressed.
