Can be a pretty scary thing, especially if you weren't reeeealy planning on having kids in this lifetime, maybe even the next. I come from a family of 5 siblings, I have 12 nieces and nephews, so I could always just borrow one. After watching my first birth at 13 let me just say, it provided an awesome backbone when it came time to decide on birth control. It was an absolute must! Not to knock on my sisters or my brother but I didn't just want to have kids, if I were to have children I wanted a FAMILY.
People ask "well...isn't that the same thing?" And the answer to that is HEC NO! Having a family means you also have a solid foundation, something stable on which you can always lean and count on. People have kids left and right, end up as single mothers, some have it harder than others but I saw what my own family went through and it just reassured me of what I didn't want for myself.
It was January of this year that my co-worker brought to my attention that my monthly timing was off. But before even mentioning that I thought I was pregnant I had to know for sure. I was afraid of what my boyfriend was going to say, my wonderful loving boyfriend, I think knew before I did. The day I took the pregnancy test, before I could even break it down he said something along these lines "Geez, we really have to stop spending so much money babe, you know, with the baby coming and all". This was about 2 minutes after I just took a .99cent pregnancy test. My jaw just dropped, and I just thought to myself "He must be one of those mind readers and doesn't even know it!"
To end the story of that exciting evening, I pulled out from my pocket the tiny little test from my pocket which I had just taken, and handed it to him while saying "how did you know?" And he smiled and said "are you serious?!".
Who knew that a tiny little faint line could mean so much and change your life as you knew it, all in just 2 minutes?! I personally found out that day =)
