We’re pregnant! Our being pregnant announcement to our household was at my dad’s seventieth birthday celebration (and on Grandparents’ Day, no much less!).
One of many first issues Adam and I talked about on our first date was how a lot our households imply to us and the way vital it was to every of us that we wished to begin a household of our personal.
After we acquired married, we knew we wished to attend somewhat bit earlier than attempting to have youngsters, however not too lengthy. Adam was 37 and I used to be 31 after we acquired married and if you happen to get pregnant at 35, it’s thought of a “geriatric” being pregnant, so we began speaking fairly significantly about after we wished to begin attempting on our first marriage ceremony anniversary (June 2019).
On August sixteenth, 2019, we went out for Chinese language meals and had egg drop soup as a result of Adam was satisfied that may assist the method alongside (I really like that man!). 😂
The Day We Discovered Out We Had been Pregnant
And, on the morning of September 1st, I took my first being pregnant check.
Oh, I used to be so nervous! I’d fitfully slept the evening earlier than, having actually unusual desires about taking a bunch of being pregnant exams however not with the ability to see the outcomes. I awoke early and snuck to the toilet with the check.
I really wasn’t anticipating to be pregnant so quickly, so after I took the check, I used to be a ball filled with nerves, however I used to be prepared to simply accept no matter outcome the check gave. And I’d splurged on the exams that really say the phrases “Pregnant” or “Not Pregnant” in order that there wouldn’t be any confusion with blurry coloured traces.
And, lo and behold, the check confirmed that we had been pregnant!
I instantly acquired all teary eyed and shaky and couldn’t wait one other minute to inform Adam.
I’d ordered these lovable “Large Brother” bandanas for Boots to put on to inform Adam. I’d considered a bunch of cute methods I might plan to inform him (like the entire baby-themed dinner thought from Full Home), however I truthfully simply couldn’t preserve the information in lengthy sufficient to tug any of them off!
So, I shortly grabbed the red-checkered bandana and shakily tied it round Boots’ neck and went straight in to wake Adam up.
I gently shook Adam to wake him up and I simply sat there on the mattress with Boots sitting subsequent to me carrying his crimson bandanna. It took Adam a second to get up and browse it, however when he did, he simply checked out me and stated, “Are you?”
I couldn’t get any phrases out at that time, so I simply nodded as my eyes crammed up with tears (once more). He reached out and hugged me and simply stored asking, “Actually?!”
Shock. Awe. And it was all types of great.
We noticed my household later that day for our weekly household dinner and it killed me to maintain a secret from them, however I knew I wished to plan a particular method to announce our being pregnant to them!

We couldn’t have deliberate it any higher if we’d tried!
So, I put the being pregnant check in a present field and we waited with nice anticipation till my dad acquired to our reward.
And Adam caught the second on video!
My dad’s response of, “I’m pregnant!” nonetheless cracks me up! 😂
It doesn’t really feel completely actual to us, nevertheless it’s slowly sinking in. We’re going to have a child. We’re going to be dad and mom. And it’s a lifelong dream come true for each of us.
