Feeling just like I did on my last month board - due at the end of the month, always behind on everything!
But anyway - we'd been planning on starting to try the next month (would have been like, right now)... but I started feeling symptoms, so took a test, then called him immediately and told him to go somewhere private and told him. We don't get excited until the baby's here, so he was like, "okay... yay." I hung up, realized that my pregnancy test was expired, freaked out and drove to the drug store to get a new test. Got a + on the new test as well and was so relieved - would have felt like an idiot if for some reason the expired test gave me a false positive and jumped the gun on telling him!
Although we'd just gotten married and I "felt" pregnant (sore breasts and fatigue), my husband (being the scientist that he is) wanted to wait and have "proof" before getting excited about it. So on labor day (when my period was due), we were both home and he was actually kind of mad at me (I may have told him he takes pictures like a 5 year old ), so when I decided to take a test and called him into the bathroom, he was pretty ticked off to be bothered (the dark line appeared within a few seconds and I couldn't not share the news!). I showed him the instructions paper and the test and he looked at it and then at me and asked "what does this mean?!" I told him "I think it means we made a baby." His eyes welled up and he hugged me tight and said "thank you, Jesus!" Then he asked me if I was sure. So I told him I'll drink more water (it was already mid-day) and we'll test again (different brand of PT). I actually dipped the test into the pee cup as he watched (yeah, not weird for us) and we watched test #2 turn "pregnant"--and that was it. We hugged and cried in our tiny little bathroom and hubbs prayed thanking God for this unexpected little miracle (AKA "honeymoon bonus"). We love kids and both wanted a baby but weren't expecting to be blessed with one so quickly! I didn't realize how happy we'd be becoming parents until we got pregnant--can't imagine NOT finding out together with my hubbs (and we had plenty of surprised and shocked reactions from family and friends to satisfy us both!).
I always imagined I would tell my husband in some kind of cute creative Pinterest worthy way. Nope. Took the test early morning. Saw the two lines and starting sweating profusely. Cried and prayed. Then I pulled it together and went back to bed. Ha. Couldn't. I had the test with me and I just stared at my husband sleeping peacefully. He had to have sensed my creepiness so he opened his eyes and said "what". I asked him if he was waking up now. He said "I guess". I handed him the test and he said "your ovulating?" -_- I said look again. Then he understood and he was freaking out and super happy and we couldn't go back to sleep.
I had cried all day long over the school bus schedule 2 days before and couldn't sleep for a few days, so I was pretty sure. I POAS on between organizing a closet and Jim costing a fantasy football team (he's not into it, my bil begged him). I asked when he would have a break, showed him the line.
We got the only child expiring shirt last time. My bil thought it meant expiring like dying. I'm not comfortable knowing he thinks I would put that on a shirt.
