Dear Diary

This little ol' blog is a diary of sorts for me. I want to remember silly moments as much as I do more serious ones. So, here's some documenting in chronological order.

Early November - I start getting super congested and bloody noses a few times a day for almost a week. Same thing happened when I was pregnant with M. It occurs to me that I could be pregnant, but highly doubted it. So I didn't take a test.

Mid November - I start feeling tired a lot during the day.

November 22nd - all of my family from Jersey came down to visit for Thanksgiving. That night, I got sick five times. I was the only person that got sick.

November 23rd - M and I took a 2.5 hour nap together. M doesn't nap often, and I never do.

The night of November 23rd, I decided to finally take a pregnancy test. Funny enough, I had just bought about a dozen tests from the dollar store a week before. I mean, when you've been trying for a year, you end up using a lot of tests. Just sayin'.

The test came back with two lines almost immediately. I had these grand plans I'd imagined of how I'd tell The Husband he was going to be a Daddy Of Two when the time came. But? That all went out the window, because I was so shocked to see two lines that I said, "Huh? Two lines? That means positive? So the test is positive I'm not pregnant? I'm confused. Hey babe? Can you come here please?"

Side note: How do women actually keep it a secret from their husband? Isn't that the first person that you immediately tell? Like, immediately after you take the test? I mean, I know I'm bad with keeping awesome secrets like that from The Husband, but sheesh.

Anyway. The Husband rushed over because, as he said, he heard panic in my voice. I asked him to clarify what the two lines meant, to which he busted out laughing, hugged me, and said, "OMG! I'm so excited!!" and then proceeded to rub my belly and say, "Hi baaabbyyyy! Hi babbbbyyyy!"

Yes, my husband is adorable and super excited about Baby 2.0. It took me about 25937 more tests to realize that maybe, juuuuuust maybe, all of the tests were in fact accurate. Again, after trying for a year, it seemed like maybe it was too good to be true.

So here we are, expecting Baby 2.0. We're feeling lucky and oh so blessed.

We're excited, M is excited, family's excited, Romeo and Babe Ruth are excited... we're all just excited about a squishy newborn being around these parts.

I'll be adding weekly bumpdates and other info soon.

Thank you for all the well-wishes and beautiful words, friends.
