Today marks one year since we found out that we were expecting Tatum Elizabeth!! I can still remember that day so clear. I wasn't going to test because it was supposed to be too early to tell if I was pregnant after my IUI but I was just too excited that morning. I think something in me just knew that I was and I couldn't wait any more. I remember taking the test and setting it on the counter in the bathroom and walking away for the 3 minutes it would take to process. I kept busy for those 3 minutes but I just glanced at it and could not believe my eyes when I saw 2 RED LINES!!! This meant I was pregnant!!!!!! I thought perhaps I was seeing it wrong because I just could not believe it!!! I just remember saying over and over, "oh my God, there's 2 lines" and then screaming it over and over and crying my eyes out. I was soooo excited and just was in complete shock. I called Rich immediately to tell him and all I could say was "there's 2 lines!!!!" while I was crying. He, of course had no clue what I was talking about. I told him through tears that I was pregnant and he didn't believe me! He thought that maybe I was mis-interpreting the test or something. I think he was just in disbelief like I was and didn't want to believe it unless we were 100% certain. I met him for lunch at Habit Burger and brought the test. He still wouldn't believe it yet but I knew….I WAS PREGNANT!!!!!! After all we went through, it was actually happening. It was so amazing and IT IS AMAZING!! We love this little baby girl so much and we still can't believe she is here and that she is ours. We are so lucky and so blessed. We love her so very much!!!
