The day we found out about the Ferglet!

We both wanted to write a little and share with you the day we found out we were pregnant. Hope you enjoy! :)

John's perspective:
I remember Maura wasn't feeling well for a while and I started to think that she might have been pregnant when we went on a weekend trip to Minneapolis. I noticed that she wanted to stop a lot to use the restroom on the five hour drive. My suspicions were confirmed one morning when I was getting ready for work and I heard my wife in the bathroom frantically calling my name. I went into the bathroom and Maura said, "I just took a pregnancy test and it's positive!" I gave her a really big hug and smiled really big and kissed her. Maura seemed very freaked out and buried her head in my chest. We had to go to work, and the rest of the day I couldn't keep my mind off of it. I wanted to tell everybody, but I didn't because we weren't sure that one positive test really meant she was pregnant. After work that day, we got a second test and Maura took it, and it was positive, too! We called the doctor and the nurse on the phone confirmed that two positive tests meant that we were going to have a baby. I felt really excited and really nervous and just knew that everything was going to be really different really soon. We didn't tell anybody until a few days later, and it was really exciting telling people that we have a baby on the way.

Maura's perspective:
When I found out I was pregnant, it was a total shock! John and I were in the final rehearsals for Lucky Stiff, and I was very busy with that and work. My period was 11 days late or so, and I figured it was because I was stressed out about memorizing my lines for the show. I had a pregnancy test at my home and saw it one morning after I woke up. I thought, well, I'm late, I should take the pregnancy test and see. I honestly didn't think it would be positive. Seconds after I took it, I saw two lines appear. My husband was just waking up, and I just started to say his name. He walked into the bathroom probably thinking the toilet had overflowed, and I showed him the test. He was more excited than I was!! I was totally freaked! :) He gave me the best hug I've ever had in my life. We went to work and I couldn't concentrate on anything all day. We only had an hour between work and rehearsal, and as soon as I got home from work I took a second test. It was positive, too, and I had a little meltdown. I just couldn't believe it. I remember telling John, "How can we have a baby?? I don't even know my lines!!" I was amazed with John and how calm he was with the whole thing. I always figured when I got pregnant I would be the calm one and John would lose it, but it was quite the opposite! It's not that I wasn't happy, I totally was, I was just so shocked I didn' t know how to react. It was very difficult to concentrate on the show, but I did. The best I could, at least! :)
