It was late at night. I felt surprised. It was my BF that thought I was pregnant and told me to do a test. I was the one saying I didn't think I was pregnant.

I was almost 4 months pregnant before I knew. I had a regular check up scheduled and that's when I found out. How did I feel? STUPID.

When I was over 2 months pregnant, September '10.

I felt terrified, since I never really wanted kids. But I also felt excited, because it opened up a whole new chapter in my life story.

My wife and I longed for the day. We tried for a long time to have a child and finally we succeeded in getting pregnant. We felt wonderful and somewhat skeptical.

In 1955, in my senior year of high school. When told, my whole world went blank. I now have an ex-wife, two children, a few grands, and a couple of greats. Don't know what that says, but that is what it is.
