Our World Turned Upside Down

Early Saturday morning, she woke up and knew something was different today.. something that would change her life forever.

...

"This is for real..."

The morning that I woke up, I knew there was something different but I had no idea if it was a bad or a good thing. I wasn't sure what it was... then I glanced down at my phone...

I was late for work!!

It took me 15 minutes to get ready that morning but when I hopped into my car, I still felt like something was different. Something that wasn't just about being late for work or the stress of a fight I had with my husband earlier that week. It was a different feeling. A feeling like I shouldn't do something that I would regret later on in life. While I was at work, I was thoroughly distracted, I couldn't concentrate at all. That feeling just didn't sit right with me. I couldn't put my finger on it and it was driving me mad.

I carried on with my day though.

Ate like I did, slept like I should and relaxed like I would.

I was having an heated argument with a friend of mine and I was just picking a fight with her out of nowhere. No matter what she said, it made me angry. No matter what reasons, it made me sad. I would be super happy one moment and really sad in a blink of an eye.

"What the hell did I do this time?"

"What are you talking about? I hate it when people cancel on me last minute!"

"I didn't do it out of spite, I had a valid reason, I told you!"

"Well, don't make plans with me if you're going to cancel!"

That was one conversation I remember having with her.

And then there was this,

[walking along the side walk]

[burst into tears]

"oh my... are you OK?!"

".. yes.. I am finee!"

....

"I think...?"

"Why are you crying? I thought we were having a good time!"

"It's such a nice day out! How can people be so angry and hateful?!"

"Who is hateful? Was someone mean to you?"

"..noo! No one was.. its just the world.. how can people be so mean to others in the world."

"..ok... do you want to get some ice cream?"

"YES!"

Then she asked me:

"Are you PMSing?"

I had no idea what was going on till she asked me that question, "Are you PMSing?"

It took me a while to figure out that I hadn't had my period for two months but we immediately drove out to the drug store to pick up one of those handy dandy Clear Blue pregnancy tests were it came with two pee sticks. I went home and sat on the toilet for hours wondering if I should even do it. Or could it even be possible.

"It can't happen that quick, can it?" I kept asking myself that question over and over again. It just couldn't be that quick. We couldn't be pregnant already. There was no way it can happen that quickly, especially, when I had been on birth control since I was 18 years old.

I was in denial but at the same time I wanted it to be true too.

[Beep]

[text message] "So did you do it?"

I didn't do it. I didn't pee on a stick. I was nervous and scared. I didn't want the negative test and I wanted a positive one. I didn't want to be disappointed.

I waited a week... before, I decided to just do it out of the blue.

After a month had gone by and it has been confirmed.

We are overjoyed and super excited by the wonderful news that we are announcing:

Our little one will be making an appearance in December 2016
