We’re pregnant! Our being pregnant announcement to our household was at my dad’s seventieth celebration (and on Grandparents’ Day, no much less!).
One of many first issues Adam and I talked about on our first date was how a lot our households imply to us and the way essential it was to every of us that we wished to begin a household of our personal.
After we bought married, we knew we wished to attend a bit bit earlier than attempting to have youngsters, however not too lengthy. Adam was 37 and I used to be 31 after we bought married and in the event you get pregnant at 35, it’s thought-about a “geriatric” being pregnant, so we began speaking fairly critically about after we wished to begin attempting on our first marriage ceremony anniversary (June 2019).
On August sixteenth, 2019, we went out for Chinese language meals and had egg drop soup as a result of Adam was satisfied that will assist the method alongside (I really like that man!). 😂
The Day We Discovered Out We Had been Pregnant
And, on the morning of September 1st, I took my first being pregnant take a look at.
Oh, I used to be so nervous! I’d fitfully slept the evening earlier than, having actually unusual goals about taking a bunch of being pregnant checks however not having the ability to see the outcomes. I awoke early and snuck to the toilet with the take a look at.
I actually wasn’t anticipating to be pregnant so quickly, so after I took the take a look at, I used to be a ball filled with nerves, however I used to be prepared to simply accept no matter end result the take a look at gave. And I’d splurged on the checks that really say the phrases “Pregnant” or “Not Pregnant” in order that there wouldn’t be any confusion with blurry coloured strains.
And, lo and behold, the take a look at confirmed that we have been pregnant!
I instantly bought all teary eyed and shaky and couldn’t wait one other minute to inform Adam.
I’d ordered these lovable “Huge Brother” bandanas for Boots to put on to inform Adam. I’d considered a bunch of cute methods I might plan to inform him (like the entire baby-themed dinner concept from Full Home), however I actually simply couldn’t hold the information in lengthy sufficient to tug any of them off!
So, I shortly grabbed the red-checkered bandana and shakily tied it round Boots’ neck and went straight in to wake Adam up.
I gently shook Adam to wake him up and I simply sat there on the mattress with Boots sitting subsequent to me carrying his purple bandanna. It took Adam a second to get up and skim it, however when he did, he simply checked out me and stated, “Are you?”
I couldn’t get any phrases out at that time, so I simply nodded as my eyes crammed up with tears (once more). He reached out and hugged me and simply stored asking, “Actually?!”
Shock. Awe. And it was all types of fantastic.
We noticed my household later that day for our weekly household dinner and it killed me to maintain a secret from them, however I knew I wished to plan a particular approach to announce our being pregnant to them!
Asserting Our Being pregnant To Household
Happily, only a week later, at our household dinner, we have been going to be celebrating my dad’s seventieth birthday AND Adam’s mother and father have been going to be on the town AND it simply occurred to be Grandparents Day!
We couldn’t have deliberate it any higher if we’d tried!
So, I put the being pregnant take a look at in a present field and we waited with nice anticipation till my dad bought to our present.
And Adam caught the second on video!
My dad’s response of, “I’m pregnant!” nonetheless cracks me up! 😂
It doesn’t really feel completely actual to us, however it’s slowly sinking in. We’re going to have a child. We’re going to be mother and father. And it’s a lifelong dream come true for each of us.
