The day everything changed...

On September 17th, 2011, two pink lines showed up on two tests...
after about 8 months of trying, we are finally pregnant!

And so the story goes:

Keith and I drove home on Saturday morning after being out of town for his brother's wedding on Friday night. My period was about two days late and I just had a feeling in my stomach that something was different. I had an FRER pregnancy test so I figured why not? Without saying anything to Keith, I took a test and sure enough, a very light second line showed up. I was (quietly) freaking out because I didn't have anything ready for how I would tell Keith. I always knew that I wanted to do something related to MSU (go green!) but I hadn't quite figured it out yet. So I told Keith I was going to the grocery store to get a few things, and off I went.

While I was out, I picked up another test so that I could test again, just to be sure. After going to the MSU bookstore, I snuck into Starbucks to use their bathroom and test again. Sure enough, a slightly darker than before pink line appeared. My 15-minute drive home felt like two hours. I was soooo excited to share the news with Keith!

He was napping when I got home, so I got everything ready, let him know I was home, and gave him a few minutes to wake up. I told him I had a present for him, and gave him this:

His reaction was "WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??" I still don't think he believed it at that point. I showed him the two pregnancy tests and he still wasn't sure he should believe it. He insists that he was just half asleep but I know he was in shock... as was I :)

So here we are, sooo excited but also cautious until we meet with the doctor. We can't wait to meet you, Baby Plummer!
