Once Upon A Time (Part 2)

We saw two pink lines!  I remember that I was wearing a pink sweater and standing in our small bathroom in our Virginia house.  It was hard to believe that it was real, especially since we weren't trying and hadn't expected to get pregnant.  When we went off birth control, we had been told that it would probably take about 6 months for the medicine to get out of my system, so we were pretty stunned.

It started to sink in little by little.  We wanted to tell our parents first, but man, thinking about telling them made me so nervous.  I guess I just didn't know what they would say or think.  On one Sunday, my parents showed up at the church where Dave was currently working.  One of the families had made us a blanket (adult sized) and they made us open the gift in front of the church family.  When we pulled it out of the box, the way it was folded made it look like a baby blanket.  One of the elders made the comment about it actually being a baby blanket and my mom stood up and said that there was no way that was possible.  Little did she know!
