Holy s***, I’m pregnant!

This is how I felt on the first night. Friday night. I went for a run, waiting for my period for 2 weeks then, and decided to do a test when I got home. Since I recently had Covid, I did not think much the two-week delay, as Covid is known for messing with your cycles. But a little voice inside me was saying, “it’s not normal, let’s check, could be something…”

So I peed on a stick, and (to my amazement) the blue line came up! BABY??? Millions of questions filled my head immediately, and between shock, relief, excitement and disbelief it was impossible for me to sleep that night. (Same for my husband.) We had dark Belgian beer in the fridge, and I took in a sniff of the delicious nectar I was not able to touch for the next nine months, and handed my husband a glass to toast the incredible news. After dinner, I took another home pregnancy test, just to make sure. Yes, still pregnant 🙂
