We found out on April 10th that we were going to be parents! Since then, our whole world has completely changed. All I can possibly think about is our baby and being a Mom; the nausea and food aversions have been a very present reminder too 🙂 . It is funny how consuming two lines on a pregnancy stick can be. This is our brand new adventure.
HOW I FOUND OUT
Ironically, I wasn’t expecting anything since my thyroid can throw things off sometimes. I took my cup of pee and flushed it down the toilet before my test finished. My face was covered in zits and fever blisters which was kind of unusual, but I had no expectations. When two lines popped up, I was in shock. I immediately started crying happy tears and I paced around the house for a while making myself chug a ton more water so I could take more tests. I knelt and said a prayer of gratitude; I asked that I would be a good wife and mother and then I fell asleep because I was dang tired.
HOW I TOLD DEVIN
I wanted to surprise Devin when I told him, but admittedly I was so tired that day that I was pretty behind on schedule. I told him that we were going to do a question tag for my Youtube channel. He came home, but then the printer was having issues and I was worried he would start getting antsy and I’d have to do the video another day. I printed out 19 questions for us to both answer and then surprised him at the end with a question he was not expecting. If you want to skip ahead to the part where I tell him, I won’t judge you; it starts on: 9:30.
Devin told me that he wanted to apologize for himself because he just got home after a 12 hour work day, and he didn’t like his hair and he was pretty tired. You can see the video below 🙂 .
MOVING FORWARD
I still have pretty bad morning sickness, but I plan on catching up on my blog when I’m feeling better. I plan on talking about motherhood from my perspective and maybe something cute from our kids every once in a while, but I tend to feel that this blog will still very much be about my experience and what I am learning and discovering. While my life, adventures, and books I read may be potentially very different, I want our children to have some online privacy and I want to keep investing in myself.
