The rest of the conversation went something like this:
Allen - Wow, this is cool. Check out my fortune.
Sara - ::smiles::
Allen - What does yours say?
Sara - ::shows Allen the same message::
Allen - ::looks confused::
Sara – Do you know what this means?
Allen – No
Sara - ::pulls out a positive pregnancy test::
Allen – What does that mean?
Sara – It means we’re going to have a baby in March
From there, it was 15 minutes of “Wows” “Cools” and “Oh My God’s.” Allen was so shocked he couldn’t get over it. At one point he even got his phone calendar out to see how far away March was. This was the exact reaction I was hoping for since Allen loves to surprise me.
Pregnancy and having a baby is something I have dreamed about for years. But after trying for so long, it began to seem like something that only happened to other people.
In Allen’s defense, I was just as shocked as he was when I saw that beautiful second line pop up on the home pregnancy test at 5 A.M. on Friday, June 26. In fact, I tested for FOUR days in a row and carried the tests around for a week like a baby. I kept checking to make sure the line didn’t disappear. Our due date is Marc 8, 2010.
Now that I’m 9 weeks pregnant, the reality of pregnancy has sunk in. I’m going to be a mom! I feel like the luckiest woman in the world. I have an amazing husband and a baby on the way. The biggest turning point was definitely seeing our little sea monkey’s heart beat at 7 weeks. It was the most beautiful thing I think I’ve ever seen and it brought me to tears.
Truth be told, this is the original reason I created this blog. I wanted a place to share all the adventures of starting a family with my closest friends and family. I just never imagined that it would take so long to get pregnant. But good things come to those who wait, right? And so I’m here. I’ll try to post regularly and keep you all up-to-date with the progress and funny stories.
Love,
The Savats
