Let me rewind a week. Last Wednesday was my day off and Austin and I decided to go hiking and shed hunting. We made the bet that whoever found the first horn would get a surprise date. I never win these bets. Tuesday night we went to sushi and during dinner I just kept looking at him and thinking how lucky I am to have him. The date continued the next morning when we went to get a couple's massage. We LOVED it! We went to Red Robin for lunch and out of nowhere I said, "I feel like I should take a prego test". Austin clapped and said yes! But then we figured that February was a short month so I was probably just freaking myself out.
That night Austin went to school and I headed to the store for dinner stuff and just randomly decided to pick up a test. He had no idea. I took the test as soon as I got home and just knew it would say not pregnant. Much to my surprise.... it said PREGNANT! WHAT?!?!? I stared at myself in the mirror with my hand over my mouth...totally movie style. And then I just started pacing my house. I wanted Austin to be there so bad and at that moment I wished I had waited for him to take the test. My first instinct was to call Cherie. I said, "I just took a prego test". She started freaking out how happy and excited she was and I was crying, totally overwhelmed with a million emotions, but mostly excited! Right then Austin randomly texts me and says, "did you get a test?" I told him I'd just wait for the weekend to see what happens. Little did he know I was freaking out in the kitchen. I was trying to make dinner but I couldn't concentrate and just kept crying.
I've always dreamed about this day and it was nothing like I expected. It was better. I found a cute little poem to give to Aust and then it was a waiting game. He called me after class like he always does and the first thing he says is, "Hi preggie!" lol I was dying! I just played it off and said you wish! So I set up the video camera and waited for him to get home. He started reading the poem and I started crying. He was in total shock and thought the end of the poem would say JUST KIDDING! What a sick joke! haha he couldn't believe it. In fact, neither of us could believe it so we took another test, and it too was positive.
We spent the night in total shock; laughing and hugging and googling (of course). Although I am scared shit-less, I am already so in love with this tiny human growing inside of me. I can't wait to enjoy being pregnant, this is such an amazing feeling!
Here is how we shared the news with the fam:
We debated on telling our families in person but we just couldn't wait that long so we made this video and mailed it to them. It was so perfect... my momma cried, his parents had the video for like 4 days before watching it.... totally not knowing what it was.... and I was sooo anxious for them to watch it. They finally did and were super excited for their first grand baby :)
My dad had all the babies sleeping at his house when he got the video and as they were watching it my dad was reading all the signs and he says, "HANNAH'S PREGNANT!" and instantly Aysha started jumping up and down clapping and they all joined in. Then Hunter says, "What's pregnant?" and my dad says she's having a baby! And they all started cheering and jumping and clapping again. They called me and my dad was so happy he was in tears and I was in tears, we were just laughing at the kids and their reaction. It was the best reaction by far. They kept saying yay another cousin!! My dad said they must've watched the video 100 times that night and insisted on watching it again first thing in the morning. Adorable right??
