How I Told the Hubby He was Going to be a DADDY.

After tossing around a couple idea's I decided to have a little mini photo shoot done by my friend / director from work. The hubbs just loves having his picture taken, insert sarcasm here lol. Knowing he had off on Friday I convinced him that Brittany needed a couple to practice shooting some Valentines day pictures for next month. It took a little arm twisting considering we'd just had her do our pictures two months prior. Well with the expected rain on Friday, as well as getting a little antsy I was able to talk the hubbs into taking pictures on Thursday. It worked out prefect because the weather was absolutely beautiful.

We each had a sign, I told him to write one thing he loved most about me and that I was doing the same. I love what he wrote, he has a way with keeping things simple yet so sweet. 

I'll let the pictures do the talking....

Standing with my back to him I was beyond nervous but excited to turn around. We'd been talking about this off and on for the past 9 years. We'd always said if it happens unplanned we will make it work. But finally settling down and deciding ok we where ready was scary. But was he really ready? Ready to be a Daddy and take on a whole new role?! Our lives where going to be changing drastically in a matter of months. I couldn't wait to see the look on his face, to hear his reaction and thoughts. Ready or Not this was happening, our life was changing and there wasn't any turning back. 

I can't thank Brittany enough for taking the time out of her day to do this for her. She is a absolute doll. I not only love working for her but I love having her as a friend!!! :) 

The Day My World Changed Forever

Over the weekend I though maybe.....just maybe. No it couldn't be, it's to early its to soon. We'd only taken this path just a short 5 months earlier. This couldn't be happening.

Monday morning on my way to work I texted my Spouse (aka Sarah).

I still wasn't 100% sold that this could even be a possibility. My lunch rolled around I went up to Walgreen's. I picked up a 2 pack and figured I'd have one for now and one for in the morning. You know just in case I didn't like the answer it gave me or wanted to double check and see if maybe it changed. That's when I looked down and saw a box with three. Ok what the heck at least this way if the out come wasn't what we where hoping for I'd have another one on hand for next month.

Back to work, I took the test. "It's the middle of the day I though, it's not going to happen". Your suppose to do this first thing when you wake up.

I stuck it in my cabinet and went to get my lunch. A couple minutes later I came back to check it and found this....

OMG, I lost it. I started bawling my eyes out. This couldn't be happening, was this real?! I was a ball of emotions, excited, surprised, scared! Let's be real I was totally overwhelmed.

Yes we had been trying but apart of me didn't think it would happen this soon after all it had only been 5 months. (really 4 from the time I got pregnant)

When the Spouse found out she was expecting I was the first one to find out. We where chatting on FB and she sent me a picture on messenger. So it only seemed fitting that A- she was the first to know (all along I knew I tell her first) and B- that I send her a picture. She knew I was at work so after her reply of ...

I called her back. The next half hour we chatted about so much. It was a world wind. I still was in a little disbelief. She helped me figure out the due date, which made it even more real.

My next step was figuring out how I was going to tell the hubbs. I played around with a couple idea's of course I went to Pinterest. I wanted to do special and different. I mean after all we've waited almost 9 years to even consider trying. So I wanted it to be a moment we would both remember forever.

Tuesday the following morning I took a second test just to see if maybe just maybe it had changed and the first one was a fluke. No such thing. Apparently there's no such thing as a false positive. This was the result I got.
