Preggo - a recap

On Monday afternoon November 18, 2013 I found out I was pregnant. After taking a test a few days prior and it coming up negative you can imagine my Monday turned out a little differently than I expected.

I had just worked out and showered and began to wonder again where my period was. I had taken a test since this was the first month we were "trying" on Friday which turned up negative-ish, looking back there was a very very slight plus sign but I wasn't counting on it.

The hubs was out of town for the day, so the news would have to be shared later that evening. I hurried to finish getting ready and head off to work, needless to say having that little secret made it the longest Monday evening of teaching to date.
Finally at 8:45 when I got home I quickly had to put something together to tell Kyle the news. I had two sets of baby socks around the house one for a boy one for a girl, I had them set out on the table when Kyle arrived home that night with a card that read- "we may need pink, we may need blue- in July we'll find out which is true."
After what seemed like forever he buzzed through the door while I hid around the corner to watch his reaction- I tried to video it but it only ended up in video of the floor and our voices laughing and Kyle saying "Holy $h*T". My sentiments exactly.



We laughed in disbelief as we had just spent the weekend discussing how we were in fact not pregnant since Friday's test was negative. I guess you could say we got lucky… or we are ridiculously fertile. Either way neither one of us was expecting that news that day, we assumed it would take a while and months of trying- however that was not the case for us.

As of now, according to my "What to Expect when you're expecting" app I am due July 22, 2014.

The best part about the timing of this wonderful news is that it came 2 days before our 3rd wedding anniversary. The next week was Thanksgiving and we had a few trips planned in the next months over the holidays to be home with family. We planned on telling Kyles family that Sunday- and mine the  next week on Thanksgiving- I could hardly wait to see their response, because to their knowledge babies were not even on our radar.

In the meantime nothing feels different other than me skipping my glass of wine at night and my fully caffeinated coffee in the mornings. No weird feelings so far, no nausea or anything else, so far.

Now the only thing on the agenda is to hide from social engagements for the next few weeks as the minute I don't have a glass of wine on a Friday night someone will be suspect of what is up, oh wine how I will miss you, but this little pumpkin will be worth it!
