Hello my lovelies,
So I recently did a life update and in that I said I had some big news, but didn't reveal what that news was. Well, you've probably guessed by the title, but if not then I will proceed.
Back in October 2022 I was feeling really down and emotional. To the point where I phoned my mum and was like 'I'm a terrible wife and a terrible daughter' and literally crying down the phone and my mum being my mum was worried and was like 'why do you think this? Stop' She then asked if I was due my period and I was like 'I dunno, probably.' I checked my tracker (flo is amazing) and sure enough it said I was due a visit from Aunt Flo the next day. Well, the next day came and no period so I went out and got a test. Now, I need to say my husband and I are very careful as we aren't actively trying for a baby.
I got home and took the test, my husband was at work and I was shaking like a leaf, I was on school holidays and alone. Within seconds of peeing on the stick it was coming back positive. The quickest I've ever known a test to work. I had to wait a little bit longer to see how far along I was and it was saying 2-3 weeks. I was like ok, something split and then 'oh crap.' Then it was onto how to tell dear old hubby. I got a plain bit of card and printed off a quote from Hocus Pocus (not knowing he had not seen the movie) and then inside I wrote 'I knew eating those pumpkin seeds would come back to haunt me...Baby Owers due 2023.'
The time came and he was walking through the front door. I was in the kitchen doing him a cup of tea, as I heard him pull onto the driveway. I was close to tears and shaking as I did not know how he would react, well I had an idea as I had fallen pregnant before and he was over the moon, but we hadn't long got married, was due to go on honeymoon, the house still was a building site, but hey ho.
I placed his tea down and handed him a gift bag which held the test and the card. He looked at me and then the bag and asked what is this for? I just told him to look and he will find out. He took out the card and read it, confusion spread across his face when he read the quote 'I smell children.' As he read the inside his eyebrows went up, his eyes went wide and he looked at me in shock and was like 'you joking?' Without saying anything I pointed to the bag and he pulled out the test with confirmation on and he looked at me again and was like 'you serious?' I just nodded and he threw the stuff on the table as he ran round the table and picked me up. This caused me to cry as I was both relieved and shocked by his reaction (he did not react like that when we last fell pregnant, he was happy that time as well, but he was just laid in bed when I showed him the test and he was like that's amazing).
This time he was very open with his emotions. I just burst out crying and he was like 'Why are you crying?' and I was like 'because of last time and we aren't ready, the house isn't ready.' But he reassured me and he was like we will make it ready (it still isn't ready and I am now 6 months).
We waited to tell anyone for a few weeks. Due to my epilepsy he made me call my doctor there and then and tell them, hey put me on folic acid and vitamin D straight away and referred me to a midwife as well. There began our journey into parenthood.
I have so many more stories from my pregnancy, but like I said in my life update I will do a mini series on it, so expect more posts, the series will include telling friends and family, social media announcement, scares, scans and plans.
Until then though enjoy the rest of your day xxx
