The First Day

I woke up Friday December 18th and decided to take a pregnancy test. My period wasn't due for four more days, but I was too impatient to wait.  I took the test at 7:00 am, and the positive sign came up faintly, but almost immediately.  At 7:04 am I called my husband.  At 7:06 I called my best friend in Boston, L- who's also pregnant.  L and I really wanted to be pregnant together and we shrieked on the phone together.  At 7:08 I called my parents.  We were all teary eyed with joy.  I couldn't believe it had actually happened, and that now I was to go about my day as if everything wasn't completely different.
