After 10
Last year around this time we had the talk of "in a year let's have a baby". Every month I would be hoping and praying it happened. Literally, the suspense kills ya. In October my parents had multiple people at home ask if I was pregnant. I would get so giddy her telling me, but at the same time trying to not get my hopes up. Little did I know I was pregnant and just didn't know it yet! I know that a lot of moms say all they have ever wanted to be was a mother, but it's so true. When you get in your head that you are ready to be a mom it is all you think about.
My mom took this after we told them in Finland. :) |
I didn't really have time or resources to go all out and tell Brad a super awesome way. I could hear him coming home so I stood by the door hid the two tests behind my back saying " I have something to tell you". Took them from behind my back and said "we're pregnant!" As I am crying his mouth drops open and he just stares. Then hugs me up saying it better be a boy. Oh men and their scare of girls. He was so excited and pleased! He knew how long I kept wondering and would always tell me be patient because God knows the perfect timing. That he sure as heck does! We are over the moon!
I was able to have my mom take pictures of when I told my dad. They are pretty great. He had previously asked me for socks and a grand baby for Christmas and this is what he got:
I have been wanting to shout it from the rooftops that we are pregnant and now I finally can! We are continuing to pray that I have a smooth pregnancy and can not wait to meet our sweet babe!
