Finding out about Babylove!


I've been wanting to do a post on how we found out that we had a sweet little miracle on the way. Becase I honestly had no clue! ...what is that about mother intuition?? Apparently I totally LACK it!
Some things that should have tipped me off right away that I was pregnant::
I almost lost my mind for cheese tator tots one day...
I sat on my couch BAWLING my eyes out watching "The First 48" and "The Lottery changed my Life" i'm not talking like a sweet tear, no i'm talking straight up ugly cry....
I was one moody B....
I started to nap, I Never nap...
I got really nauseas hearing a story about someone who had on caked on makeup...
I cried when I had a bloody egg from the store...I thought I killed it or something? lol
I had a hankering to rock my neighbors baby to sleep--weird I know.
Basically I turned into a giant bawlbag. EVERYTHING would make me cry.
My husband had a sneaking suspicion. I honestly didn't. I truly thought it would take a heck of a lot more for me to ever get pregnant due to my endometreosis and all my cysts. I've had a bit of one of my ovaries removed and I just truly never thought it would happen for me. Clearly God has his own plan--silly me for thinking otherwise.
I found out because I was home sick after garage selling with my neighbor--I got sick after eating eggos, then again after drinking water. I called my neighbor to tell her to watch herself because I thought I had the flu and I hope I didn't give it to her. Then my mom wanted me to go up to the hospital to see my Granny, but I told her i'm crashed out on the couch just not feeling well..I was 7 days late for my period, but that was nothing new, so I wasn't concerned. I'd been having some major problems about 3 weeks prior I was in so much pain that I was about useless for the entire 3 weeks. Which I assumed caused the missed period (and this my friends is how you end up on the show "I didnt know I was pregnant" ha!) Anyway--my mom came over with sprite, crackers and a pregnancy test...because she's a mother and clearly she knows everything OBVIOUSLY! I thought she was crazy so I didnt take it until the next morning. I got up took it first thing then left it and went and crawled in bed with my mom because she spent the night. A bit later I figured i'd better let Braxi out and when I did I checked the test and saw a big fat YES+ wait...what?? YES WHAT?? I stuck it in the waistband of my shorts and ran down the hall and threw it at my mom ha! (my husband was in the bathroom getting ready and I hadnt told him anything yet) To say mom and I were shocked was a bit of an understatement. --MIND BLOWN--
After her I facetimed my sister to show her the test--she was SO excited that she hung up on my because our faces were freezing and called me "YOU BETTER NOT BE JOKING WITH ME!!" lol
Here's some pictures of how we told people and how I told Trent.

I totally got out of staining our floors after this so I didnt have to breathe in all the fumes...baby kicked daddy in gear!
 
Here is how we told his parents....we went to their house for supper then told them we brought cinnabon for dessert. They had absolutely no idea. His mom sobbed! lol She has wanted a grandchild so badly! She's really really really excited to say the least!
 
I wish I could say I got to tell my mom in a fun sweet way...but I guess throwing a pee stick at her doesn't really count does it? lol
 
 

I told Grampa Scot over lunch...I went to the bathroom and ran into an employee at Texas Roadhouse and asked if they could write on plates for a dessert...she said sure what do you want? I said..hmm you are going to be a grandpa?? haha when they brought it out he sooo did not catch on ..he was like yeah okay? My mom finally had to say SHE'S PREGNANT!! He was super excited too.
And this is how we told the facebook world


Basically everyone has been really surprised/excited and extremely sweet! I have a video of telling his parents but I dont know how to add it! If I ever figure it out i'll update this!
Happy Friday!!

  3. So precious. I didn't know either until I took the test. My first symptoms were tired and sick. I was sooo sleepy. I'm excited to follow you through this journey. Makes me remember my miracle. It's amazing. I personally loved being pregnant and I hope you have a god experience.
