Dum dum duuuuuuuumm!!!
#1 A pregnancy test kit.... A tiny pink box with a little stick and a dropper packed innocently inside... But just as I sat down to take that ominous leak, I realized that no matter what a woman feels about babies, motherhood or being knocked up, no woman could have ever looked at this innocent test strip with a calm heart...
You know how sometimes you see the accident happen before ur car actually hits the bike drivers backside because he couldn't or wouldn't decide wether to go left right or in fact straight ahead n then ur on a slope on neutral singing a song... N then whammmmmm!! Okaaaay maybe u haven't had that exact amazing experience but you get what I mean.....
So when I missed my period for the first time since well forever, one month into my blissful newly-married life, I knew. It says a lot about human nature that inspire of knowing, those two pink lines made me jump, cry and get ten different kinds of anxiety attacks....
#2 Breaking the news.... Now wording it right is important..so how DOES one tell a man that he's about to have a sqealing infant in his life in 9 months or less?? (I delayed breaking the news by a week) after cooking up a storm and sitting through a full F1 race I said 'sooooo... Guess what I'm pregnant!!'
The response is an open mouthed stare which asks me 'howwww is that possible??'... You know.. Because the two nights that we woke up for no reason to have unprotected sex while I was ovulating could not have had ANYTHING to do with it....
#3 LET'S TELL THE FAMILY!! After the inevitable 'are you sure?' answer 'it's a little too late to be asking now, isn't it?' comes 'okay, do you want to tell my mom?' answer 'uh-huh okay, maybe tomorrow'
Tell the folks and deal with partial hearing loss as you find your tiny dry voice lose itself among shrieks....!!! Someone feeds me a spoonful of sugar so I dont have To talk for a minute...
Turns out I don't have to talk at all.... Everyone has plans for you and 'the baaabbbiiieee!!'
and that is how it began!!!
