Having two car payments and a baby on the way, we couldn't afford to live pay check to pay check saving only a little over a hundred dollars a month. The only solution we had was to pack up and move into the apartment above Logan's parent's garage. Between our busy schedules, it took us all month to pack and box everything up. It was a hard thing to do. We couldn't stand the thought of falling back into a dependent state. We were doing well on our own, but would not be able to offer our baby anything if we didn't make sacrifices.
When we had almost everything sealed up in boxes, Logan sat down on the couch and called me over to sit on his lap. He wrapped me in his arms, held me tight, leaned back and said, "Let's unpack and just stay here."
He said exactly what I was thinking. I said, "Okay!"
"After all this hard work and all the time we spent into packing, you would just stop and unpack everything?"
"Of course I would."
Despite the sadness, we moved into his parents. So far, it's not too bad.

August
We bought Logan a truck! It's a cute little, white Chevy Sonoma. We got a really good deal on it and couldn't pass that up!
Monday, August 2nd, I wasn't feeling to well so I took a pregnancy test.
It was negative.
By Wednesday, August 4th, I still wasn't any better, so I took another pregnancy test. I waited five minutes... still negative. I took a shower to get ready for the day. About twenty minutes later, I got out of the shower and noticed a VERY faint light pink line indicating a positive test. I wasn't sure of it, so I showed Logan. Logan said that it probably was a defective test, after all it took twenty minutes to show anything.
Later at work, I told my friends the funny story. One of them was so determined to get me to take another test. She read somewhere that if ANY LINE AT ALL shows up, then it's positive. So, at lunch they forced me to buy digital tests. After we ate lunch I took the test.
It was positive. And "positive" wasn't spelled wrong.
If I was smart at all, I would have waited three days for Logan's birthday to give him the test and tell him the news. Instead I was way too excited that I immediately told him after dinner.
I'll never forget his smile and shock. He was so excited, but scared because we were both still kids too.
The rest of the month was full of nausea and excitement. At our first two ultrasounds, we got to see the little baby sac and also hear the heart beat. It was so memorable. Logan was all smiles. Reality really hit us.
We are having a baby!!
