Thoughts.com Blogs - Counting Down

Have you ever received a bit of news that completely blew you away? Welcome to my world!!

It was last weekend when I decided to try one more time with a pregnancy test. I didn't feel a whole lot different, I just knew that I was a few days late. I thought it was a possibility that I may be pregnant, but I still kind of expected the results to be negative.

When I saw that second faint pink line, my face lit up with a smile and I didn't know what to do or who to tell first. Now of course I would have loved to have been able to run downstairs and tell my husband the good news, but unfortunately for us we needed to rely on a phone conversation to share the good news since he is back in Scotland for the time being.

His sister answered the phone and quickly passed the phone over to him. At first, he thought something bad had happened since we usually don't speak to one another on the phone at that time of day. Then I let the words slip past my lips......

I'm not even sure what exactly I said, but I was met with his response of, "Okay, are you sure?"

It took me back for a moment, and I was thinking to myself 'that's all he has to say about it?' Now I know this was probably a big shock for him, even though we were trying, but I guess I just expected a bit more. I guess that's men for ya eh? lol

As the time went by, he of course became more excited and it was definitely on both of our minds. Of course it would be much better if we could be together in person experiencing it together, but leave it to the government to screw up that as well.

I realize that I'm not that far along, about 5 1/2 weeks now and not due until the end of September, but I am so excited. When I am out in public all the little babies capture my attention. When I am in stores, I can't help but walk through the baby section. I just can't wait for all of this to happen.

Of course I have some worries, and the main one being that my husband is not here at the moment. That is a very stressful situation to deal with, as well as an emotional and lonely one as well. I'm just hoping that things soon work out for the better so that the stress can be relieved and we can go through this pregnancy together.

Anyways, all I have left to say is the countdown has begun..............
