One year ago today...

...I found out I was pregnant with Callie. I still think about this day often. I'm pretty sure it was one of the biggest, maybe THE biggest surprises of my life. I remember what I was wearing even. I was at the hospital for my gallbladder scan and they just wanted to make sure I wasn't pregnant before they did the scan. I remember waiting in the waiting room for the test results and I wasn't even nervous that I would be pregnant. I remember thinking it was sure taking a long time to get the results back. I remember the nurse calling my name and as soon as we entered the hall to get to the room, her saying, "Well, congratulations, you're pregnant!" I can still hear her say it in my ear now. I remember my reaction of, "NO! You're joking me!" and saying that over and over. I remember starting to cry and the nurse becoming uncomfortable and asking me if I was ok and me saying no I wasn't.(But it was) I then went (as I had planned) to go see my friend who just had her July 4 baby. I met her husband in the elevator and I remember shaking all the way up to the birthplace. I could not believe that I'd be there again having a baby! She ended up giving me some of the chocolate I'd given her as a gift to help me calm down. I remember calling mom to tell her the "results" of my scan and her excitement at hearing the news and me blubbering into the phone at her. I remember thinking about how I was going to tell Brent and deciding on telling him with a card. Bring on the cravings! We're expecting!, it said. I videotaped his reaction of, "No. NO!" and his nervous laughter. I remember going straight to the computer and finding one of those site's that can supposedly tell the gender by your age and dates and I remember it saying girl. I still can't believe we had another baby. I can't imagine my life without Callie. It was the biggest surprise of my life, but one of the best, too. I'm so glad I'll get to experience the girl side of things. I love her to pieces and I think she is a great finish to our family.
