An introduction

I found out I was pregnant before the pregnancy test. I had noticed that my breasts were extremely sore, I experienced moderate cramping (which is very unusual for me), I was super tired all the time, and cranky. I was feeling so bad that I couldn't wait for my period to come. A couple of weeks went by and I was still experiencing the symptoms and Mike mentioned, "Hey, maybe you're pregnant."

Of course my initial reaction was, I can't possibly be pregnant...can I? I started counting back the weeks of my last period and I was already a week and a half late. I had decided to go get a pregnancy test that night, but deep inside I had already known I was pregnant.

Mike and I went to CVS and I grabbed a two pack of the pregnancy test. I took one as soon as I got home, but it came out blank. I took the second pregnancy test, and all of the lines (even the control line) was very faint, but I can vaguely see the pregnant line. I was already convinced that I was pregnant, but Mike insisted we get another test just to be sure. Tired, I said I would grab another one tomorrow.

Two days later, we got another two pack, this time a digital pregnancy test. Although I had already expected it, there's a weird feeling you get from looking at a pregnancy test that says "Pregnant."
