Farmer and I couldn't be more excited and thrilled about our up and coming new addition to our family. Around September 18th we will become a family of 3.
Here's how we found out.
On the evening of January 13th, yes Friday the 13th. I sat impatiently awaiting, what I thought would be negative results on that infamous stick in the bathroom. It sat on the edge of the tub, and I next to it just thinking. "it's negative, calm down, why do you get so worked up every time." "it will be ok if its positive, you can take that vacation later." "I don't even have my student loans paid off yet"
Then it happened. That blinking, flashing hourglass stopped.
"Pregnant"
Plain as day.
I shook it.
Nope this can't be happening.
O MY GOSH.
:D
:S
HOLY CRAAAAPP
>insert *uncontrollable shaking*
*tears*
*more tears*
*slight hyperventilation*
I called Farmer
Told him I took a test, and he said "o? well it will be ok!"
I hung up on him.
He arrived home later and we began to wrap our heads around the idea of having a baby. We were both excited once the shock went away.
Its not that we weren't excited at first, just surprised.
At the very moment when you take that test knowing you haven't really been expecting to take one any time soon, or within the next 6 months, it can be a bit shocking. Once we both wrapped our heads around the idea of having a baby, we were both excited and decided that we would much rather it come as a surprise then have to try and be disappointed, and we thanked God for giving us this amazing blessing.
So as almost 24 long weeks later have past, we are both extremely excited
Farmer is smitten with pride and excitement. I am right there with him
We have just finished the construction on the rooms upstairs and our little cowpoke will have it made!
I can't believe the emotional roller coaster the past few months have been, but at the end of the day, I know that Farmer and I will be great parents. Farmer is going to be one of the best fathers I can ever imagine. He melts my heart the way he looks at kids now. He is learning an awful lot through this whole experience and as always has manage to keep me laughing and light hearted about the things I want to panic about. His questions are so hysterical when it comes to the needs of a baby and the way he thinks it is going to work out.
I can not wait to start our new adventure as parents. For now it is on to decorating and rearranging the baby's room & house a 1000 times until it seems just right! :)
