A lot of people have asked me what I did when I found out I was pregnant. They also wanted to know how I told Conor and what went through my mind. If you really want to know, here is my little moment of honesty.. and hilarity and maybe even humility. I found out I was pregnant the middle of September. I had no idea and I didn’t think it was possible that I could have even been pregnant (I was on birth control). I was feeling a little sick for about a week and I was late. I didn’t say anything to Conor until I knew if I was okay or not. I just went and bought a cheap pregnancy test to put my mind at ease, and it definitely did the opposite of that. I didn’t expect anything to come of it, so I went home, took the test while Conor was at work, and it showed a negative sign. I took a deep breath and went in the other room. I came back to throw it away and low and behold, there was a plus sign along with that minus sign and I thought I was going to pass out right there. All I could say is “noooo way, oh my goodness!!”. I was a little nervous and didn’t know how to tell Conor, who was at work at the time. I finally got up the courage and went down to his work and surprised him. We said hello and I was a little nervous. I knew he could tell something was up because he knows me all too well. He later told me he knew the reason I came to his work was because I was pregnant. I had no clue he read me so well. I said to him “Hey I want a tattoo!”. He said “well what do you want!?” and I simply said.. “Uh depends.. what do you want our baby’s name to be?” He looked at me with the “I KNOW. I CAN TELL” look and he went inside and told his work he had a crisis and had to leave. We weren’t really expecting to have a child at this point in our relationship. We were both so scared. Us, Parents?? He kept telling me the test could be wrong and that I should go take another.. which I agreed. We spent a lot of money on an expensive pregnancy test that showed words instead of signs and when it said “PREGNANT” we took that as a clear sign and watched our life pass before our eyes. I’m kidding!As weeks went on, we grew more and more excited. That’s how this all came about. It’s a cute story to read now that I’m halfway through my 16th week. It has already been a long road through sickness, stress, and everything else but it’s almost halfway over and we can’t wait to see our little baby.
Sounds a lot better than when I found out. I had a mental break down and hyperventilated. Not the first time, the 2nd time. I think I also did a lot of shaking and swearing and just all around freaking out. Thank goodness I’m excited about it now!
