About 2 months ago I began to have tons of strange dreams. They involved Donny holding a baby, me changing a baby's diaper, a baby crying about something and I had to help it, etc. The following week I was due to get my "monthly". Of course, it did not arrive on the expected day-no shocker there-that's just how my system has always worked. Not really thinking anything of the dreams, or the fact that I was "late"-went on with my day-to-day. My next day off from work happened to be a weekday, so I put myself into cleaning mode: floors, laundry, dishes, the works! I had the TV on all day while I was hustling and bustling about. Low and behold every single show had to do with a baby in some way: Charmed-Piper was going into labor....Full House-Becky tries to tell Jesse that she's pregnant....The Today Show-Nancy Grace talking about going back to work with her twins....Friends-The one where Phoebe finds out she's pregnant. The light bulb clicked: am I pregnant? I really had to go the bathroom so I told myself to hold it-we're going to Target-I've got to buy some pregnancy tests!!!!! I made that trip, came home, and did my thing. 3 short minutes later I found out that I was going to be a mommy. I couldn't be happier! I began sobbing and smiling and didn't know what to do......should I immediately call Donny? Should I call the doctor? Do I need to go buy some prenatal vitamins? Too many thoughts at once. So what do I do when I get worried-call April. We chatted and came up with a game plan, also known as, April calming me down :) I decided that I would come up with a cute way to tell Donny the following night. I was far too nervous and giddy over the next day that no cuteness came to mind. So later that night I simply told him that I took a pregnancy test (3 at this point) and unless First Response was untrustworthy, we were going to have a baby!
So surprise, surprise! We're having a baby :) Now that I'm feeling real well and officially into my second trimester I thought I should blog about it. This little bundle of joy is set to join us March 28, 2010-so probably early April.
There is so much more that has happened in our lives I need to update everyone on and I will get to that quite soon! Until then......thanks for reading
