Bryce!!! I yell to my husband- a voice echoing down the halls with excitement… all three tests show TWO bold lines! Does this mean…. could it be….Baby! Baby! Baby! Both beaming from ear to ear.. “how accurate are these tests?” We both ask each other. Naturally.. the next adventure follows with an instant jolt to the car and drive up the street to the nearest grocery store to purchase a clear blue digital test as those pop up with words. Therefor one can’t go wrong while trying to interpret test results. We buy three. We’re back in route to the house. Instantly, I open each and every one of them… proceed to pee on all.. I think it was an approximate two minutes that went by… which let me tell you- felt like the longest two minutes of my life awaiting a definitive answer. “Positive” both read.

A little back story on us- Bryce & I got married in April of 2021. Bryce is in the army and was gearing up to serve his first overseas deployment residing in Ukraine approximately three weeks later. We dated for a few short months, got engaged, then I planned our entire wedding within a month in a half. Looking back on it now… it was perfect. It was everything I could have envisioned it to be. Small. Intimate. Memorable. For the immensely short span of time I had to work with…. the task at hand was accomplished. To add another plot twist element-during this month in a half of time Bryce was gone for two weeks attending training prior to deploying for a year with his unit. So what happens next? I became a personal wedding planner overnight. Throughout the prep and planning I found I enjoy creating beauty from scratch. Turning a whole lot of nothing into a whole lot of something. Although don’t get me wrong.. the stress was at an all time high & I had more than a few moments of hanger that took over. I don’t know if that was the stress or the diabetes but well get into that at a later time 😉

Get your index finger ready. Hold down on the fast forward button until you reach early May 2022. Once you have reached the desirable time frame stop and hit play. Bryce is home. We are back together at last. Let the adventures begin. We are now in our home doing an atrocious multitude of laundry loads to prep for our honeymoon in the beautiful country of Costa Rica. We are prepped and packed and off we go to celebrate our marriage & to celebrate an undoubtedly trying past year spent apart. We deserve this vacation. This was also our first vacation in another country. When I tell you Costa Rica has got to be one of the hands down most beautiful countries, if not, THE most beautiful country I have ever been… I’d be lying through my teeth. If you had to pick an adventurous, beautiful, and mood setting destination to create a baby; not a bad choice. Not a bad choice at all.

Time flies when your having fun. That’s how the story line goes. Ten days went by in the blink of an eye. We’re now back home to Northern Virginia. We continue our days with one another- happy, in love & trying. This past month of Bryce being back home- has been the best. We got to travel the world together, experience new adventures & activities, and grow our bond more so every day. The month also went by freakishly quickly… which means… I have been entirely too busy to pay attention to my cycle and when Mother Nature is going to make her grand entrance. Because I was on birth control for so long- my cycles were pretty regulated and almost always around the same day every month give or take a few days up or down.

May 12th, 2022. The last known period date. We are now mid June. My period was three days late(which was not extremely abnormal for me- plus I was experiencing cramps and symptoms) so Bryce convinced me to take a test. “Honestly, I think your pregnant.” Wow. Five words was all I needed to get me hyped up and excited enough to grab a few tests just for shits & giggles. Not thinking too much of them or the results because I knew they would be negative anyway. At least, regardless, that is what I had convinced myself so that if the results I had hoped for- weren’t achieved- the let down of emotions that follows wouldn’t be so dreadful. It’s June 15th, 2022– we grab a few tests. Three to be exact. We come home & I immediately rip one box upon and go sit on the toilet. I pee and then proceed to frantically run up the stairs. I tell Bryce, lets wait a few minutes and then go down together and look.

A few minutes goes by- a little over two as I wanted to give it “extra time” to marinate (by extra time I really meant 0.3 seconds longer). We come downstairs and the tests are two dark lines clearly indicating “pregnant”. I’m thinking…. there’s no way… If it happens this quickly- I’m stoked. I didn’t want to get too excited until I took a few more. So… I do. They all came back with the same two dark lines reappearing. This is when naturally, I turn to digital accuracy. Clear Blue shouldn’t deceive me. She surely reads “Pregnant”. HELLLLLL YESSS!!!!! We are completely over the moon. This is everything we ever wanted and could have asked for. Reality has not quite sunk in; however, surely when it does I know I will be the happiest version of myself because I will be living out my dreams with my dream person. Since I was a little girl- I couldn’t wait to grow up and become someone’s mama. Life does not get much better than that.
