Oh. Shit.

Having a baby has always been on our to-do list. I'm not really a fly by the seat of my pants kind of gal. I knew what my wedding date would be before we got engaged. I have my Christmas Cards printed in September. I probably have my work outfits lined up for the next six weeks.  So you can rest assured that this baby was planned. To a tee. 

We've spent over two years being happily married. We've been both the maid of honor and best man in our best friend's weddings. We've crossed a trip to Europe together off our bucket list; and I just crossed over into my 30's a few weeks ago. Now that all major milestones have been achieved, creation of life is next. 

No matter how mapped out our life is, nothing can prepare you for a positive pregnancy test. Shit just got real. 

They say it can take a few months or even a year to conceive. I had a sneaking suspicion that we'd get pregnant the first time we tried. I was humbled, however, after taking a test two days before my missed period, to get a negative result. I know your supposed to wait until your missed period to take the test, but it was Labor Day and I couldn't resist the cuteness of "Oh, we found out we were pregnant on Labor Day!". I'm psychotic I know. 

Anyway, so I really didn't think our first attempt was going to work. Which led to a whole evening of google searches like "WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?????" 

After a few days, however, Aunt Flo, was still a no-show and I was slightly nauseous off and on all day Friday (Sept. 5th). So as soon as school was over, I headed to my local CVS and bought a pregnancy test all by myself Like. A. Boss. (I usually make Mason do my dirty work). ;) 

Positive. 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I'm PREGNANT!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) 

Oh. Shit. I'm pregnant. 

Oh, crap. Mason is going to be home in two hours! MUST WHIP UP SOMETHING PINTERESTY to let him know he's going to be a Daddy!!!

Ok, so it's not Martha Stewart quality, but it's all the materials I had on hand.

Here is Mason's (very long and drawn out) reaction at learning the news:

So, that's that. We went to dinner at one of our favorites, Royal China, that evening to celebrate! Mason ordered a glass of Cabernet and I smelled it and we spent the evening brainstorming how and when we would spill the beans to our family and friends.

As I am writing this, none of you know yet! Crazy! The biggest secret of my life!!! Hard to keep, but incredibly special to share only with my love for now. 

Let the journey as Mom and Dad begin!
