Happy 4th of July to you all! I hope you are having a fun-filled day with your families. What a special day today is. Not only is today the day our country celebrates its independence, this is also the day I found out I was pregnant one year ago. I remember it like it was yesterday.
It was almost time to test again, but I was only supposed to test when Craig was home, so in case it was negative AGAIN I wouldn't be alone. Craig had to work...big surprise right? So, I waited as long as I could and of course I couldn't wait until he got home because I really wanted to be able to surprise Craig with the news when he got home IF I were to be pregnant. I remember I bought him an expecting card and put it in the refrigerator where he would see it first thing when he came home and opened the fridge for a glass of tea. I was so excited I could hardly keep a straight face. Actually, I had to stay in the other room where he couldn't see me because I couldn't hold a straight face. He came in and opened the fridge like he always does and he DIDN'T even see the card. I was thinking "you've got to be kidding me!!!" I had been waiting all day for him to get home, he got home late as usual and then he didn't see it. Then he said he was going to go take a shower and get cleaned up. I remember trying to do things to get him back in the fridge. I tried to convince him to eat some dinner. That didn't work, so I asked him if he would get me something to drink and he still didn't see it. Then he goes to take a shower. I couldn't take it anymore. I thought, "he is never going to see the card". I decided to forget surprising him, and I just took the card to him before he got in the shower. I remember I said with tears in my eyes, "you are ruining the surprise" Like he knew there was a surprise... So he said, "what???" And I said "I'm pregnant" and proceeded to tell him what I had done with putting the card in the refrigerator. He told me I put the card on the shelf at my eye level not his eye level. So next time, I will put a card on his eye level. But hopefully I won't have anymore of those type of surprises for him! HA! At least not any time soon!
So, today, a year later after finding out I was pregnant, but had no idea with three, I am hanging out here at home with my three beautiful, healthy babies and it is just surreal to me. I would have never thought I would be a mom to triplets. Yes, I did have a feeling there was more than one baby, but I was thinking two, not three. But, today, I couldn't imagine it any other way. I know cliche' right?
So, the kids and I are just hanging out at home waiting for Craig to get home from work so maybe we can do something fun on this special day.
Enjoy your day!

Hey, happy 4th to you guys, too. I read this blog post and just cried tears of joy. It is so touching. Also, I wanted to thank you for bringing back a memory for me. I don't remember the exact date that you told us you were pregant, but I remember I had just found out that Joey was comming! So, in a sense we both found out we were having "babies" around the same time. Only Joey was to arrive in one week. He actually didn't arrive 'til July 17th due to the foster family he was w/ being on vacation and his birthday on July 24th so in the whirlwind I forgot. So Thx for reminding me of the joyous time for us both. d-
Yes, this has been quite an eventful year. Praise the Lord for answered prayer, and those three precious babies....also for His protective hand on you during the pregnancy and delivery.
