Hello Family and Friends :)
Welcome to our baby blog. I thought this blog would be a great way to keep our family and close friends updated with my pregnancy and our baby. Its a way to keep you all informed at the same time, without anyone feeling left out. I hope you guys find this as a fun way to stay connected to us. But, I would like to ask one favor. I would like to keep website address private, and I am asking that you please don't give this website out to anyone other than family. Brian and I really want to keep this as private and intimate as possible. Hence why, I have still yet to post anything on Facebook. I feel like most people on there don't need to know all the details. :) Feel free to comment or email us at bkjeffery14@gmail.com
I'll start at the beginning to fill you all in.
Thursday, August 30th, 2012: After work I went to get groceries for our camping trip that we were going on with our neighbors, for Labor Day weekend. I had been getting all the symptoms that I was going to start soon, but for some reason, something just felt a little different, and I decided to pick up a pregnancy test. I knew that it was really early, and that I should probably wait until the morning, when the tests are most accurate, to take it. I couldn't wait. I had to take the test. While waiting the couple of minutes, I kept thinking that this would be the best birthday present ever, if it came out positive. And sure shit, it was POSITIVE! I was shocked. We had only been trying since July. I had always hoped it was going to happen quickly, but things have never really come easy for me. I was thinking it was going to take us a while. I started to laugh, giggle, and cry, all out of excitement and shock. However, like most women, I didn't trust the first test. I proceeded to put my groceries way and started cooking a few items for camping. All with a smile on my face. I kept looking at the clock and checking my phone; waiting to get that text from Brian saying that he was on his way home. The text finally came. I knew I had about 25 minutes before he would pull in the driveway. I finished my cooking, and cleaned up the kitchen. I took the second test. It was also positive. I knew I was cutting it close on time. I grabbed a piece of paper, the two tests, and wrote a sign for Brian:
He came home. I told him I made him something, and it was on the kitchen counter. He bee lined it to the kitchen, assuming it was food or dessert. I started filming... To sum it all up, he was shocked, excited, and teary eyed. He asked if this was for real. I laughed and said "yes, it does say positive, right?". It truly was the best birthday present ever! We were so excited, but this was going to be really hard to keep it a secret. Before I went to bed, I looked up a pregnancy calculator. I put in all the info; I was 3 1/2 weeks pregnant. And I saw I am due in May. Just a couple days shy of Mothers Day and our 3rd anniversary! It couldn't be more prefect. :)
