Target will always hold a special place in my heart

I decided to drop Lenny off at La Fitness as i browsed through the bathing suit section of Target. With plans to go to the beach the next day i felt like all my old bathing suits weren't fitting quite right, after all, its a new season so a new one wouldn't hurt!

A total of 10 bathing suits later, and 1 hour of self pity later, i stood there staring myself up and down in the mirror confused at the thought "Have i really been eating this much?" i go to the gym religiously, how could i not find just 1 bathing suit?!  i was a frustrated woman with no new bathing suit....

I called Lenny right away as i stormed through Target making my way to the Pregnancy Test section, I told him "Seriously, something is going on, i just tried on 10 bathing suits and my body looks so different in all of them, none of them fitting me, i am buying a pregnancy test."

Lenny insisted not to waste my money that i was due for my period any day now and to just wait it out, (yes he is right on time with my "schedule" or should i say, "mood schedule" HAHA Prior to this Lenny and i had been "trying" to conceive with no luck for many many months, 10 to be exact, but who was counting? ;) After many failed pregnancy tests we came to the decision that after this month we would hold off a few months due to my sisters wedding getting closer.

I finally got my hands on a test, made my way to cash out as the cashier said good luck, i was already half way to Targets bathroom, "took care of business" stuck the box back in my purse and made my way back to my car. Now mind you, i have taken many many tests in hopes i would one day see a positive but with no luck. As i sat in my car, for no less than 3 minutes i pulled out the box and removed the stick, to my surprise there were 2 lines, i never saw 2 lines before. Was i reading this right? did i do it right? Did i get the right one? 2 lines?! where are the directions, what did the box show?

It finally hit me, yes i was pregnant...My hands were shaking so badly i could barely hold my phone to call Lenny. I could barely talk, i was shaking so bad my voice was shaking, i felt like i was going to hyperventilate. I cried to Lenny "It says i'm pregnant!" He didn't believe me at first, he was laughing and thought i was joking for a good 2 minutes, until i sternly said get out here your work out is over! i drove up to the front of La Fitness to pick him up and when he sat in, he stared at me waiting for me to say JUST KIDDINGGGGGG, when he saw the pregnancy test he laughed and got very teary, for anyone who attended out wedding ceremony know exactly how those tears can flow ;) we laughed and cried and hugged and then went home.

I chugged a ton of water so i can take the 2nd test just to be sure. :) positive again -yay!
