The Beginning- May 2016

Owen James was meant to be part of our family from the very beginning.  Chase and I had decided back in May of 2016 that we were ready to add to our family.  We decided after four years, it was time to get my IUD out.  I would be finishing and graduating school in December and we felt it was a good time to start our family.  We figured it would take awhile to get pregnant.  We were told by many at least three months before we'd get pregnant.  I got my IUD out on May 16th. Within two weeks I started to feel a bit different and funny.  Three weeks later I thought what the heck, I'll take a test.  The test came back negative.  Chase kept teasing me that I was pregnant, and I thought there was no way it could be that fast.  Around the week of June 20th Chase came home super late and had bought a test.  He woke me up and told me to take it.  I was really grumpy with him for waking me up so late.  I went in to take the test and instantly saw a positive sign.  I told Chase it was positive, and in a panicked voice, he told me I hadn't waited the full three minutes.  I told him it wouldn't change three minutes from now, but none the less I waited the three minutes.  We went back in and both started laughing in an awkward way because the positive was still there. We laughed and cried and were scared out of our minds. Clearly, Owen was ready to be here from the start.  Within a month of wanting to start our family, we were pregnant!
