Pregnancy Journey
Since the reality of deployment was upon us, my husband wanted me to take another pregnancy test. I was reluctant because we had just taken one a week prior. We went out and bought another one, but I wasn't ready to take it just yet. I told him that I would wait until the morning. I knew taking it was the right thing to do. If my husband did deploy then he had the right to know he was going to have a baby before hand.
The next morning I was ready to take the test. As we waited for the results my husband looks at me, asking if I'm okay. I was feeling so many emotions between a possible deployment, never having a baby and feeling so alone in this situation. It doesn't matter how much friends or family members try to understand what you are feeling and going through, they can't. Only those that have been in similar situations will be able to relate to you.
My husband looks at me and says, "What if we are having a baby?" As he says this to me I see out of the corner of my eye the words we have been longing to see for almost a year, "Pregnant"!
I jump up and down saying, "We are having a baby!!" That moment I will never forget. The overwhelming joying and happiness of knowing I'm going to be a mommy!

ReplyDeleteIt has been a rough journey for us, as I'm sure it has been with you. It is so helpful to find other people that have/are going through the same as you. Support is so important in these types of situations. I appreciate the kind words, I really hope it all works out for you. :)
