It's official, world, Keaton and I are having a baby! Perfect timing for Mother's Day!
I can't believe it! I am, of course, thrilled, but I'm still having a bit of trouble wrapping my head around it. It was a bit of a surprise. I mean, we were basically not doing anything to PREVENT having a baby, but we weren't necessarily trying down to the little timing details, either. We were just waiting to see what happened. I can't believe it happened so soon!
We found out on Friday, 23 April. Keat was in class and I was about to leave to pick him up. That was the weekend we were going to Sea World for his birthday. My period was a little late, so I decided to take a test just for the heck of it. I had a few minutes to waste, anyway, so I figured why not? Turns out:
Yep, it was positive. I thought maybe it was wrong (I realize now how silly that was but at the time I just knew it was wrong!) so I took a couple more just to "be sure":
Sure enough, they all came back positive! I was so excited. I remember just running around like an idiot gathering up last minute things with a silly grin on my face. I put together a little "Daddy gift" for Keat so I could tell him. We stopped at McDonalds to grab a bite to eat before we got on the road to Orlando. I was so anxious to tell him! He was pretty excited! It was so cute. I even took a video of it:
We told our families yesterday, for Mother's Day. We started the day at my parent's house, where Mom got a card from Keat and me and then another card saying "Happy Mother's Day Grandma!" and signed Baby Z. She was so cute when she opened it! She just screamed and cried and laughed all at once! It took the rest of my family a minute to figure out why she was acting so crazy!
After lunch we went to see Keat's parents, who we told in the same way. At first, his mom was shocked and couldn't believe we hadn't told them when they were in Florida for Keaton's graduation and commissioning! Then of course, they were both happy for us.
Today we told our Grandmas (the babe's Great-Grandmas) through Mother's Day cards as well, and they all cried, too. It was fun getting to tell everyone! It was kind of exciting to get to spread the news on Mother's Day! Our baby is already so loved!
I am so glad that he was as thrilled and excited as I was. I can't image if my husband wasn't on board with it! He's going to be such a great Daddy!
