How we got here . . .

I've been married just about five years to a wonderful supportive husband. Living as two for three years we decided it "was time" to expand our family. For those first three years we were quite happy just the two of us and our three fur babies (two cats and one dog). Oh, don't forget about the cars! LOL.

At first it was scary taking the plunge especially since a few of my family members have had a hard time just trying to get pregnant. My aunt just cant have a little one and my cousin had two miscarriages. I wondered if I was to follow in their steps. We had one false alarm, I was two weeks late, took the test, and no lines. (boo!) Or as I often said "Sorry, not a winner. Please try again" So . . . We did and the second time we had lines! Yippee!

I remember standing in our bathroom, looking at my hubby with my jaw open and said "Your gonna be a daddy!" We kissed and hugged. Immediately the next day I called my OBGYN to schedule an appointment to make sure I was in fact preggers. But they said I had to wait until I was a couple months along.

Now as a first timer here . . . I was shocked! What am I suppose to do until then? Arr I just wanted to stay home locked up and tell everyone don't touch me I may be preggers! A bit dramatic you say? But let's be realistic here I hadn't a clue what to do. So we hit the bookstore, grabed frappies, loaded up with all the basic info and we got reading. Me with my pregger books and hubby with his daddy books. Cute.
