About being pregnant that is. If you read my last entry, you know I just found out we are totally shocked and surprised. So I was really dreading telling my parents, wasn’t sure how my husband would take it.
So I told Jared when he got home from work. I had texted him earlier saying I hope his day got better and everything happens for a reason. so he walked in the house and I was in the kitchen putting dinner on the plates....
I said “So, you know how everything happens for a reason?”
He said “Yeah why?”
and I held up all the positive pregnancy tests and said “lets hope so”
he said “no way, you’re pregnant?”
I said “yeah, I have no idea how cause we didn’t do anything all that close to when I ovulated but yeah… apparently we are.”
then he just got quiet and I said “please say something I don’t know if you’re sad or mad or happy, and it’s killing me because I’ve cried all day just cause I can’t even figure out how I feel about it myself so please just say something”
he said “well, we can’t do anything about it now so we might as well just be happy about it.”
phew!
We told the boys on Sunday, they couldn’t believe it. I believe their reaction was “what, there’s a baby in your belly already, like now?”
We told my mom on Sunday right after we told the boys. I said “well, I just want to tell you before one of the boys tells you, I’m pregnant, it wasn’t planned, we definitely didn’t want one anytime soon but it happened and we can’t change it so…” and she went and told my dad which was the part I was dreading and definitely didn’t want to be around for.
She said she walked in and said “you have a cocktail?” (he’s a drinker),
and he said “no why”
she said “you’re gonna need one”
He said “why”
She said “Katie’s pregnant”
he said “did they plan it”
she said “no”
and that was it… I saw him the next morning and he didn’t mention it, acted normal, so… so far so good. That was really the only think holding back my happiness was how he would react.
All my close friends that I’ve told (because our kids have huge mouths and tell everyone so we figured we should probably at least tell the people we’re close to but not announce it on facebook yet), have been shocked, most of them said “NO WAY” or “Shut up” lol
This morning I made a call to my close friend. She has a daughter the age of my middle boy now, she’s been trying to get pregnant for the last 2 years and been very frustrated lately. I knew my son would tell her daughter at school today so I figured I should get it over with. She was excited. I told her I was sorry, I know it’s been hard for them and I totally understood if she was upset that I was pregnant when I already have 3 and wasn’t even trying or wanting another one, which she had one and struggling to get 2. She was just at my house 2 days before I took the test talking about how frustrated she was and how she was sad cause they wanted a couple more kids and she couldn’t even get one more and how she was getting old so she was hoping it wouldn’t take too much longer. She took it well. Although back when I was trying to get pregnant with my first I always said I was fine too til I was alone and cried my eyes out cause I just wanted to be pregnant.
My mom told her friend… Her friend’s daughter is about 35-ish, been trying to get pregnant the past year and she’s had 3 miscarriages pretty recently. They’re seeing specialists now to figure out why but of course this is another family that my heart breaks for them and I knew it’d be hard for them to get the news that we were pregnant. She was pretty shocked from what I hear.
There’s one more friend I’m sure will be happy of course but sad for her own situation. She can’t have kids, has 2 step kids by marriage. Her and her husband are in the adoption process. They’ve spent $23,000 to adopt a child through an agency here. BUT, it’s been 6-9 months (I know they started before christmas), and out of all the families in their support group through the agency (I believe there’s 6 couples), they’re the only family that hasn’t been chosen by a birth mother yet. She’s in bible study with me and so I hear her struggles with it and how upset she’s gotten when one family gets a baby and she doesn’t. It’s a hard road.
So, my doctors appt. is sept. 15th, I can’t wait for the ultrasound, not only to hopefully see a heart beat, but to get a better date. I’m too much of a planner to be uncertain on dates! lol Of course the one time I have no idea when my period was I get pregnant.
I’m just going with it being a boy because that’s just my luck. Any healthy baby is a blessing, and on the plus side we would have an insane amount of clothes and they’re all in pretty good condition cause Jax grew out of his so fast. He’s 2 and in 4T, so it was rare he was in a size longer than 3 months, although this baby will be born in a different season, we live in San Diego so our weather isn’t all that drastic. lol
Ahhhhhh! I’m pregnant! I just can’t believe it!
Time to get excited!!! :D
