“I DID IT BUT CAN’T TELL IF IT’S POSITIVE OR NOT!!!” Heather yelped into the phone.
“Two lines mean it’s positive.” I told her. “Are there two lines?”
“I can’t tell. Maybe.” She answered. “I’m coming over. You can look at it and tell me what you think.”
The mile drive from her house to mine took only a few minutes, and she was walking through the door, her face flushed with anticipation and excitement. She thrust the test at me.
One look and I knew. “Heather! You’re pregnant!”
“Really? How can you tell?” She looked at the test again. “Oh. It didn’t look like that before!”
In her excitement she had read the test too soon, which was fine with me, because that meant I got to tell her she was pregnant!
Months later Dan woke me from a deep sleep with a phone call saying, “It’s a girl!” Now in a few weeks that baby girl will be turning 13! I’m so blessed to have had Heather, Dan and her family in our lives for so long. And happy birthday to Amanda!
That's one memory I will never forget! I was so scared and happy all at once. I can't believe she's going to be 13....how did that happen??
