Finding Out I Was Pregnant Part 2

After taking the two at-home, pee-on-a-stick, pregnancy tests, I read online the next step was to get a blood test to confirm.  

It recommended waiting until a full week after your period was supposed to start. I couldn’t wait that long, I was too excited. I scheduled one for a few days after I took the home tests.  I got the results two days later, which felt like eternity. The results did not have a clear yes or no for pregnancy. Not even a positive or negative. It had my level of hCG hormone. It told me it was “out of range.” 
I had no idea what level it was supposed to be or what out of range meant. I googled it and from what I read on Google, the level was within range for a positive pregnancy. 

As soon as my husband and I got the full confirmation that I was, without a doubt, pregnant. We took a trip that weekend back to Phoenix to tell our parents. 

The month prior we had taken a spontaneous trip to Phoenix because we had spent the day in Breckenridge and it was tapped out for us. We asked ourselves what we wanted to do the rest of the weekend. Clearly the answer was to drive all through the night to a location 800 miles away. 

Josh and I rarely plan for things. We have taken many last minute trips, so we assumed our parents wouldn’t think anything of this one, which was right. I believe we texted them when we were on our way there. 

It was around the time of Josh’s and his father, Mike’s birthdays. Friday night, we had dinner with Josh’s family as a birthday celebration for them. We bought Mike a card saying, ”Happy Birthday Grandpa.” He had a confused look on his face until he read the inside that said, “From Josh, Kamee + 1.” His face went from confused to joyful, while everyone else’s face changed to confused. Then we told everyone we were pregnant and they were all overjoyed. 

We couldn’t come up with any fun ideas to tell my parents, so I just spurted it out in the middle of dinner. They were also overjoyed.
