One year ago today our lives changed forever. I haven't told many people the whole story about how we officially found out we were going to have a baby. I don't normally write mushy blogs so bear with me.
Jordon had gone off to Oklahoma with Cameron for a few days. My mom had come to Lubbock to go to an Elvis concert with me on August 16, 2011. I had a doctors appointment the next day, August 17, 2011. It was a follow up to my yearly check up. I was not certain but thought I might be pregnant and I knew the doctor's office would make me take a test. My appointment was first thing that morning and then I went to work. I had to sit through the whole day knowing and not having anyone to tell because I wanted to tell Jordon in person. The doctor insisted that I take the test strip with me that showed I was pregnant. Kind of gross but I did not know what to do with it so I had that in my purse all day too.
After work I went and bought a TTU baby outfit and wrapped it up for Jordon to open when he got home. Of course they did not get home until about 8pm that night. I kept calling all afternoon seeing where they were and we all know how slow Cameron drives. They kept stopping to site see and chase Quanah Parker. I thought I was going to burst!!!
When Jordon came in I gave him the present. I put a card in it with the pregnancy test strip. His knees buckled and I thought he was going to faint. He did not but came close.
We got to have the first sonogram on September 2, 2011 and hear the heartbeat. A couple of weeks later we told our families the news.
