In The Beginning...

No, it's not the intro to a bad sci-fi flick. Just the start of our journey into the life of our first child, Caleigh.

It was February 2nd, 2006. I remember the date exactly because it was two days before my 21st birthday. We were living in base housing in a small military town, and we were hanging out with our roommates enjoying a few drinks, watching tv in the living room, relaxing a little before bed. I had been taking tests for the last couple of weeks, SWEARING I was pregnant. Well, let's just say I would soon regret my drink choice for the evening.

We were well on our way to heading to bed when I decided, in my giggly state, to take the last of the pregnancy tests we had lying around. The girls egged me on and into the bathroom I went. Not even a minute later I emerged with the biggest smile on my face... it was positive. I will never forget that day, and our lives have been forever changed ever since.
