I’ll never forget sitting on the couch that summer day. I was hurting so badly with ANOTHER bladder infection. It was bathroom trip after bathroom trip AGAIN. Bladder infections were something I was very familiar with. So I hopped in the car and took off to urgent car to get a dose of antibiotics.

There, I spoke with the doctor and tinkled in a cup only to discover that no bacteria was present in my urine. OKAY, now I was worried. He then told me he was going to do a pregnancy test and I laughed at him. I couldn’t get pregnant. (Refer to “All the Health Things”)

Twenty minutes later, he reentered the exam room and said, “You don’t have a UTI, but you’re pregnant.” I started crying tears of joy immediately. Not only did I not have a bladder infection, I was having a baby! He asked if I was okay and my response was, “More than okay! You have no idea how long I’ve wanted this!”

So there I was, wearing a shirt that said, “You’ve cat to be kitten me right meow” shaking and crying and calling my mom on the phone.

That was the first one. The second one is even more strange.

Fast forward a year and a half. I’m moving into my dad’s rental house with my one year old on my dad’s birthday. I’m unloading boxes from my car into a window because I locked myself outside when I see a pregnancy test in the toiletry box. I think to myself, “I missed last month. But that’s not unusal. Let’s go pee on this and see what it says.” (Refer to”Living with PCOS Pain” for back story) I headed to the bathroom and relieved myself on the little plastic thing and almost fainted. Not only was I going through a divorce, living alone with a baby with only a part-time job, I was PREGNANT. HOLY COW!

I already knew my stance on pregnancy and, despite being in a less than perfect situation, I was going to have the baby and I was going to love it.

And I did.
And I still do.

Do any of you have funny or unexpected pregnancy stories? If so, send them! I’d love to have a little laugh!
