August of '99, my boyfriend and I went on a trip to Hot Springs, Ariz., where his family owns a condo. I packed everything I thought I'd need, except my pills. We were gone for a week. We had so much fun I didn't even notice that I hadn't brought them!

Well, time went by and I just continued taking my pills, like nothing had happened, thinking I couldn't get pregnant. I'd gone without them before and not gotten pregnant. Why should this be any different??

One October afternoon my boyfriend and I stopped to get gasoline, and I asked him to get me a pack of grape gum – I HATE grape ANYTHING, but I didn't think anything of it, figuring I was going to start my period and that was making me want weird things. He looked at me and said, "Are you pregnant?" I laughed and said no.

Later that day we were getting a bite to eat at Sonic and I decided to eat a loaded hamburger, instead of my usual grilled chicken with honey-mustard and lettuce only. Again, I thought nothing of it. Again, Scott said, "Are you pregnant?" Again I said no.
