Covid 19 scare.
I forgot to mention that my trip to mexico was my honeymoon. So I got married in November, and we did not have time to think of vacations considering the whirlwind of a year it was, especially for me.....let me explain.
All of my milestones happened in a year. I got a promotion at work, I got engaged, I bought my very first car, I got married, and moved to a new house, in that exact order. I was so overwhelmed with all the things that were happening to me, it felt as though god decided to grant me all my wishes in 2019. With all that was going on, we decided to wait til February to go on our honeymoon. We were actually going to wait til April but I thought why not now? We went for seven days and apart of me wished we had stayed longer.
I'm glad we went because when we came back from our vacation things started changing. Air ports were cancelling trips, people were buying tons of toilet paper (I don't know why til this day?), and the environment at work was starting to become stressful.
I work as a nurse, and as you all may be aware that I'm on the list of workers deemed "essential". Come March, stores and restaurants had started to shut down, my workplace had started actively screening all staff entering the building. I started feeling dizzy, nauseas, I was losing weight. I did not understand what was happening. I assumed so much was going on it was possibly stress (Nope not stress). As a nurse, I should've known, considering the biggest tell tale being that TOM (my period) has been absent for a long time now. One day, and I don't understand why I decided to do this, I bought a dollar store pregnancy test on a whim. I waited til I got home to use it. I was nervous, as I waited sitting on the toilet, step one pee on stick, actually it had some little container for me to pee in an I would have to take a dropper but too many steps so pee on stick it is. I waited a bit for the symbols to show on the display and started to ponder , considering all that was going on, do I really want to be pregnant during a pandemic?. It did not take a minute 15 seconds later two lines came up on the test. I frantically reached for the directions or a picture to tell me what two lines meant. I knew but I still wanted to confirm. I placed the test against the pictured instructions, and I guessed it. The instructions read in bold, 2 Lines indicates pregnant.
