Wow! I can't believe we actually made it...a baby that is. We did it. We are pregnant. I thought I would start a blog to chronicle the journey, since most of our family members are out of town and not on Facebook. I like to tell (and hear) stories in pictures. You just can't always get the whole picture, without a picture. So, here we go.
I found out about Baby Glover the morning before Thanksgiving. I had gone to Redding (my parents' house) on Tuesday since I was off work for the week. Jeff and his parents were going to meet up with us on Thursday. We had been trying for 3 months to conceive, and I was feeling a bit 'different' this time. I took along a pregnancy test, just in case. By Wednesday, I was still 4 days from my big P, but that was close enough to test. I got up before 7a.m. The result came back almost immediately...
I couldn't believe it. I was so excited, but I had to wait until the next day to tell Jeff. I wanted to tell him in person. I wanted to SEE his reaction.
I wanted to be creative, but I just couldn't throw something together that quickly, and still keep it a secret from my parents. So, I decided to get him a card. The card read "Yippeee" on the front, and "Congratulations" on the inside. I wrote something like "I am so thankful that you are my husband, and I am so excited that you are going to be a daddy." I gave it to him in the car, in the parking lot of Safeway. (We had gone to get a gallon of milk for my mom). I wanted to capture his reaction, but he isn't really into having his picture taken, so this is what I got.
I think he really was excited...even though he doesn't look like it. :)
We have decided to keep it quiet for now. I wanted to wait until Christmas to tell our families, so it would be like a big gift to them. They all want a grandbaby really bad. Now, keeping it a secret...
