I don't usually date my posts however, since this wont actually be posted on the day I write it, I did, so you can follow our little story:

On March 9 I felt a little sick at work, in fact I stood up from a table and told my co-worker I thought I was going to be sick. Keep in my the flu has been going around school like crazy! I had this feeling for about a week prior however I never thought I was actually going to throw-up until that night. I never did but I did start to question if I had the flu or if I was growing something inside me.

The next morning I didn't have my morning class so I decided with 3 days until my period I would take a pregnancy test and at least rule that out. Well it wasn't ruled out, I took one and it came up a very faint positive, I was excited but didn't want to get too excited just in case it was a false positive. I sent a photo of the test to my sister and she said, "I think that's a yes, but you better take another one to be sure." On my way to class I stopped by the dollar store (big mistake) to get a test, and got two. I took one in between my classes and it was negative, so of course I was really bummed, went to class, came home because class got out early took another test.....negative....I did some reading online as to how this could be one positive and two negative, and it said that the morning is the best because that is when the HCG (Pregnancy hormone is built up) and being that I hadn't actually missed my period there wasn't a ton to start with. That could have been what cause the two negative results. So what did I do...drank a ton of what the rest of the day, went to hang out at my parents house...(no body knows at this point that its even and option...besides my sister) leave there around 10:00 run to Walgreens pick up two more tests...run home and take one...POSITIVE :) Dan is out at pool league this night and has no idea what is going on, didn't even know I was taking a test....

Dan got home around midnight...I waited up....mind you the night before I was up until 3:30 studying and doing a project, and I have been exhasted for two weeks now and couldn't figure out why... so Dan gets home, I'm watching Drop Dead Diva in bed. It went a little like this...

Hollie: "Honey, we need to talk."

Dan: "I think I know what you are going to say"

Hollie: "Really? What do you think I'm going to say"

Dan: "You are pregnant?"

Hollie: "Yep, I took four tests today, two came back negitive insert story I just wrote above but I am going to take another in the morning to confirm." "What are you thinking?"

Dan: "I knew it!"
Hollie: "How do you feel excited?"

Dan:"Yeah"

Hollie: "scared, nervous?"

Dan: "Nervous."

Hollie: "Everything is going to be just fine!

Then just like the night we got engaged...neither of us could sleep! I guess what you have all been waiting to here is, WE ARE EXPECTING!! :)

The day I found out :)

It was a roller coaster of emotions this week...I found out my advisor had messed up my classes so I wont be done until 2013 which I'm okay with now but I wasn't at the time (this happened Monday...)and by Friday I was finding out we were going to have a baby.

We weren't really planning on having kids until I was out of school however, we know God had his own plan and we couldn't be more excited...at the time I am writing this none of you know and I wont actually post it until after we tell our families on Mother's Day, as that is when the first trimester will be over!

Here is the start of the 9 months: 4 weeks 3 days :)

Either way this is the start of our journey...hopefully you enjoyed this post...there will be many to come :)


Love,


Dan, Hollie, Tyson, and Hershie...and little Baby B :)
