Parenthood is happening

Well… I didn’t expect this to happen so quickly, or as easily as it did… BUT 

WE ARE HAVING A BABY

First try (insert husband pumping his fist into the air in victory)

My period is due on June 18th. On Saturday the 13th we went to celebrate Brian’s 10 year H.S. reunion. Old. 

I was not drinking as I knew there was a chance we could be pregnant and until my period came I didn’t see sense in risking it. Towards the end guys started to light up cigars. HELLO AVERSION. I have never felt nausea like this in my LIFE. Ugh. Thinking about it… still.want.to.gag.

So we left and found somewhere with A.C. and no smokers to have a snack with Brian’s cousin Randy and his girlfriend Amanda before heading home. 

We attended church the following morning, the 14th, and on the way home made a stop at CVS. Brian waited in the car while I got “deodorant”. I stuffed the pregnancy tests in my purse so he wouldn’t see. I didn’t want him hovering while I took the test so I could tell him on my own time. 

When we got home and he began to cut the grass I peed in a cup (which is now trash), dipped the stick, and waited… 

I thought “I am still 4 days away from my missed period… it can’t be positive.” I snuck a glance. Nothing. One line. 

2 minutes later, something faint… very faint. Were my eyes playing tricks on me?? Then darker. There was a line! I was pregnant. My husband has super sperm. This just happened. Insert victory music. 

The feelings weren’t what I expected. No tears. No anxiety. Just joy.

I ran out and bought a box of Brian’s favorite cheat food: “Little Debbie – Cosmic Brownies”, taped a note on the front that said “If I am getting fat, so are you” and the test on and gave it to Brian before dinner. 

I told him I had a present for him and pulled the brownies from behind my back. It took him a few seconds to register what he was seeing. He teared up just a tad, gave me a big hug and the sweetest smile… then about a minute later of hugging asked “Can I eat the brownies?!”. 

You read that right folks, my husband’s first words about our baby were about brownies. 

We both laughed. He said he wasn’t shocked at all… and “he knew what he was doing”. We went to Olive Garden to celebrate and already began the “baby name” talk. 

I can’t wait to see the baby and hear the heartbeat on July 2nd!!
