One year ago tomorrow (December 18) we found out we were expecting another new baby! I just have to re-live the day because it was sooo funny how it all went down...
For some reason, I had wondered if I might be pregnant. I really had no basis for thinking this because my period was literally only ONE day late, which wasn't abnormal. I couldn't justify taking a test because, like I said, there really wasn't any reason to think I was pregnant yet. Anyway, it was a Thursday so that meant we had playgroup. We went, as usual, and before leaving, my friend Bridget (all of you blog readers know by now who Bridget is, right?? My best mommy friend, mama of Liam and Nora...) asked if I wanted to come over the following morning for some 'really good hot chocolate.' Right away I thought... HUH?! Bridge and I are the type of friends that do things last minute all the time... never really planning much ahead. We usually would just call in the morning and say, "Hey, wanna come over?" So right away I was suspicious. I kinda looked at her funny and said, "Sure." By the time I got home, I had convinced myself that she was definitely going to announce to me that she was pregnant, so I sent her a text and said, "Do you have a little announcement for me?" She called back right away and said, "I really wanted to tell you in person, but... I'm pregnant!!!" She said she was due on August 21st, we got really excited, I congratulated her, etc... As soon as we got off the phone, I told Justin the news. Then I said, "I think I might be pregnant too, so I'm going to HyVee to get a pregnancy test." Justin was like, "HUH?!" because he had no idea that I even suspected I could possibly be pregnant (mostly because there wasn't much of a reason to suspect), but being the supportive hubby he is, said, "Okay."
I went straight to HyVee, bought the test, came home, and took it. I waited the five minutes and then went back to the bathroom to look at it. Guess what I found?! TWO PINK LINES!!! I think Justin was down in the basement with Claire and I immediately screamed, "Oh my gosh, I'm pregnant!!!!!!" We hugged, screamed, freaked out, and then went online to figure out my due date... August 25th.... 4 days after Bridget. I called Bridget back and, through my laughter, said, "Hey, umm, so I was wondering if you wanted to come over tomorrow for some hot chocolate?" She was like, "Huh?" and then I said, "I'M PREGNANT TOO!!" She started freaking out and screaming and I remember Liam started crying because he got scared from all of her screaming. It was the most hilarious, exciting, unbelievable moment!! The best part is that, surprisingly, we hadn't really discussed much about when we wanted to start trying to have another baby so we had no idea the other was trying.
And now, here we are with sweet Nora and Emma... 4 months old and the best of baby buddies! :)
I love that story.
