OH BABY: THE NEWS










I'm so excited to finally get another blog post up where I can talk about this crazy news we found out about around Thanksgiving time! Still hard to believe that we're having a BABY!!! Pregnancy is seriously the weirdest thing with all the changes happening but first, lets start from the beginning.

   It was the day before Thanksgiving, and I had all my family staying with Tyson and I at are house. I had been feeling a little off that whole week and had actually already taken 3 pregnancy tests the week before that all came out negative.  We both woke up early to go to the gym together and again, that morning my body was feeling achy and I just knew there was something going on. When Tyson went downstairs, I ran to the bathroom (morning pee is the best) , and took another pregnancy test and was kinda frustrated while watching it because I thought I was going to get another negative and was determined that being pregnant would be the only explanation for me to feel this way. As I stood there watching the stick on the bathroom counter and seeing that very faint pink line show up, I felt like I was going to pass out.  I don't even know how to describe that moment.I stood there with my hands over my mouth and tears rolling down my face. tears of excitement, and tears of fear. Seconds later, I hear Tyson coming back up the stairs so I hurried and hid the pregnancy test and wiped the tears off my face. I knew he would want it filmed when I tell him and now was not the time for that. He came in and asked me why I was taking so long to get ready and so I told him to just go without me cause I had some things to do. When he walked out of the room, I started crying again just thinking about how our lives are going to change so drastically where it would never be just me and my hubby ever again. Oh the pregnancy emotions were going strong!
    So since I had all my family at my house, there really wasn't any time that day for me to tell Tyson without any of them knowing or hearing. We had that whole day already planned with activities and I was just freaking out inside wanting to tell HIM! Longest day EVER! SOO, the next morning, Tyson was in our closet getting ready, and I set up his camera in our room while I sat on the bed. We have a shared calendar on our phone so I quickly added "Happy Father's Day!" to our calendar for THAT day (Thanksgiving). I hear his phone vibrate from the notification and sat there so nervously thinking he would come running out.  Well...he comes out a minute later asking me if I knew where his favorite jeans were...dang it! I told him he should just wear one of the ones he had in the closet so he went back in the closet and then comes out just a few seconds later saying, "oh yeah, why did you add fathers day to the calendar?" I froze and didn't know what to say so I just sat there for at least 15 seconds with a smile on my face until he figured it out and said "ARE YOU PREGNANT!!!????" and then for the next few minutes there was a roller coaster of emotions that ended with "I'm going to be a Dad!!" which was the cutest thing ever. 
   
So here we are, now 14 WEEKS ALONG, finishing up another appt where baby is still healthy and strong, and we couldn't be more excited!! It is the cutest thing when Tyson sees other young dads with their little son or daughter and then tells me how excited he is for that. I can already tell how amazing of a dad he is going to be! He has truly been the best husband with doing so much for me while I've been sick. He's been up with me during the night, running errands for me to satisfy my cravings, getting a million different prescriptions, and bringing me breakfast in bed before I get up in the morning so I don't feel sick. I can't thank him enough for that and for still being so sweet and supportive when I've been grouchy. I'm so lucky!

Stay tuned for more updates! We will be finding out the gender very...very soon ahhhh!!!
