The Moment I Will Treasure Forever

This was the day I took the actual pregnancy test. I had taken one every month since Febuary and always bought the box with two. This time I was so certian that I was pregnant I only bought one. I went straight home and John Van was working late. I couldn't wait. Not just because I was so excited but the whole way home from Hartsville I guzzled down about 30oz of water. So I went into the bathroom took care of buisness. (Which I was a pro at seeing that I had taken8 prior to this.) The window turned postive within seconds and I couldn't believe it. I cried, screamed and ran around the house. I had never had so many emotions run through my body at one time!
John Van took for ever to get home. I was like a little kid waiting on Santa Claus. I paced back and forth and peeked out the window a thousand times. Not to mention I called twice to see where he was but just asked stupid normal questions like: what you want for dinner? etc.
Finally, I peeked out the window one more time and there he was! I stood at the front doors and I heald the pregnancy test like a bouquet of flowers. I had a death grip on it as if almost to make sure it was real. He walked through the doors and and I cried "Your Gonna Be a Daddy!!!!" I had tears fill up in my eyes and all I could do was grab him and smile.
I was so amazed at how excited he was. He couldn't believe it. Eventhough, he actually got sad in the months prior when the test were negative. He then rubbed my belly and sad "That's my little girl in there" For some reason he thinks God is going to give him a house full of girls to worry about because of his past. After this, He went into the nursery so excited and started listing all the things we needed to do. I knew he would be excited but who knew this much. It's a moment I will treasure forever!
