"Like RIGHT NOW?!"

I know ya'll have been waiting to find out how I told my husband we were expecting but I need to rewind first. Don't worry! It's coming!

In January (2017) Dustin and I found out that we were expecting and while I was so excited, I was also FREAKING OUT! Let's just talk about it - I was Pregnant. (Exciting) I was getting married in April. (Well crap) M y dress was EXTREMELY tight fitting... hugging EVERYTHING (Shiiiit) and last but not least.... we were getting married in a Catholic Church. (LOL, that's going to go over well, walking down the isle in a tight fitting WHITE dress in a catholic church 20 weeks pregnant?? NO).

While all of those emotions were going through my mind, I was so excited to tell Dustin.

Dustin's favorite football team is the Kansas City Chiefs and they just so happened to be in the playoffs. So this emotional thing wanted to tell her husband in a way that he couldn't be mad but would be suppppper happy at the same time!

A couple nights later, Dustin opened his computer to find an email from 'baby' asking him to take him to his first playoff game. The email included 2 playoff tickets! He was super excited.

It wasn't long after that, we found out that we had a miscarriage. It was so hard to be so excited for something and then have it ripped from you in a matter of seconds. (Which isn't far off from what we felt again when Grayson passed, but completely different feelings)

FAST FORWARD

Back in the bathroom - looking at the double lines... FREAKING OUT (again) I was SO excited. I couldn't wait to tell him. I thought to myself, should I wait until I go to the doctor... yes. Okay, so the first thing I did was call and schedule a doctors appointment. CHECK! The appointment was at 8 that same morning-had to work me in to check my levels as soon as possible. I contemplated.. should I wait. Yes. No. Yes. No. Wait, how am I going to tell him this time? Last time it was so cute and thoughtful. This time I got nothing.

On my way to my appointment I decided I couldn't wait. I needed to tell him. I couldn't tell him over the phone. I needed to see him. I called him and told him I was going to stop at the shop. His first question - Why?

Shoot, that's a good question. I can't tell him because SURPRISE I'm Pregnant... that will ruin it! So I looked around and I said... ugh.. ugh.. I have the rod I need Devin to cut (his brother who works at the shop over). He's say's "Babe, don't drive all the way over here, I can get it tomorrow and bring it" my response (let me admit first, I sounded CRAZY) "WHY?! You don't want me to come to your shop?" He's like "No, okay you can come here, Geez I was just trying to save you the trip" (Told you, CRAZY)

This is a pic of Dustin and I with his Brother Devin and his wife Ashlee

As I pull up to the shop, he is waiting for me. I grabbed the rod out of my back seat and greeted him. By greeted, I don't mean with a kiss. I literally got out of my car, held up the rod and said "Here, I'm Pregnant"

WHAT THE HECK - THAT WAS NOT HOW I WAS SUPPOSED TO TELL HIM!

His response - "Wait, like right now?" - YUP right now, Russell!

Love Always-
