How I told him.

Well, my friend @MrsPRD wrote a blog awhile back about how she told her husband the good news about being pregnant, and said she loved hearing other women's stories about how they told their husbands, so this is what I did.

Well, Marcos and I had been trying to get pregnant for about 6 months, so pregnancy tests were not a stranger in our house. I was driving home from school one day, feeling exhausted and I had been very emotional that whole week (I just didn't feel like myself). So I decided to stop at Super Target for a pregnancy test (The cheap, Target brand of course.) I got home, took the test, and saw a VERY faint line... but anytime I had taken this kind of test, there was never any kind of line. So right away I was like, "Oh my gosh, is this real? I don't believe it." 

So I went to Wal Mart right after that to purchase the more expensive brand. Got home, took the test, and there was another line. Marcos was still not home yet but I didn't want to just tell him, I wanted to do something special, so I went that whole night knowing, without even telling my husband. It was torture!

The next morning after Marcos left for work, I took the other test (#3) and when that one also read positive, I went to Target to buy a little bib that said "I love Daddy" and a Clear Blue test that Marcos could easily understand if I showed him. I got the bib in Blue because I figured that's a little more neutral than pink. Okay, so I ended up taking like 5 tests before I even told my husband... but I just still couldn't believe it!

So when Marcos got home, I gave him a little bag and said,"Here honey, I got you something today because it was on sale". He began opening the bag and I kept giggling and he kept looking at me and saying "What is wrong with you?" 

Then he pulled out the bib and the test that clearly said, "Pregnant" and looked at me in disbelief and said, "You're pregnant?!" (He had no idea what was coming since I had already told him a little white lie and said that I started my period already.) Of course he was just as excited as me but we still could not believe that we had made a baby!

So that's the story! We also bought bibs that said, "I love Grandma & Grandpa" to surprise both our parents with. Of course, both of your moms cried! But we are all so very excited.

I am currently 12 weeks and just now starting to feel morning sickness. I went almost the whole first trimester without it, but it's hitting me now. But I am so blessed to have this baby growing inside of me and I wouldn't change the experience for the world! 

Two weeks ago we got to see our baby swimming around on the sonogram screen and got to hear the little heart beat. Our next appointment is in two weeks.
