I am 30 years old, first time mommy and have been married almost a year now . Wow.. weird to say I am a wife and a mommy .. getting used to being called "Mrs. Stepp" has been weird enough.. but now I am called "mommy" (not by Emma yet of course .. only in the form of coos and smiles ) .. my life has changed so much within the past year in the best..most amazing ways possible.
When I first found out I was pregnant ::::::::::
Mood: Scared to death...
Well I had just gotten married was down to the size I always wanted to be..adjusting to being married and enjoying newlywed status..hence.. getting pregnant (sorry emma if you are reading this ) :-O
I missed my period.. and just felt "different" .. it was a feeling that I had never felt before.. something was off.. something was different.. it didn't feel wrong.. just different. I told Bradley and he kept insisting I wasn't pregnant and that I would get my period ... I just had to relax and wait..
Well I wasn't buying it.. I knew deep in my gut that.. I was baking a baby in there.. in the oven if you will
Without Bradley being the wiser, I stopped @ Wegmans on my way home from work one day.. As I walked thru Wegmans.. there seemed to be 1.5 mill babies in the store that day.. and they were all crying..I found that to be a "sign" of what was to come. I proceed to the feminine product aisle.. I learn that there are alot of different pee sticks available for my peeing pleasure.. I grab a box of 2..just because you just never know.
On the way home I was super anxious and scared to death.. I stuff the tests in my coach bag and as I come in the house I head straight to the bathroom for the moment of truth..
A couple moments later.. a plus sign.. yep.. its a plus sign.. I then confirmed the plus sign with Bradley.. well ya know the commercial says 1 in 5 women misread the test (which are very sad statistics..)
"What do I do now?" I remember asking Bradley ..seemed like the most practical question @ the time.
He pauses for a second ..looks up from his video game & says.. "Well you call a doctor"
At this moment ... my gyno was on my sh*t list... for never calling in my birth control ..so I had to find a new dr..pronto...So i start dialing.. I found a dr! success!! So the appointment is made.. what?!?! I have to wait til AFTER our honeymoon to confirm this ?!!?!? pure torture..
So while I am wearing my new $100 bikini on the beach.... I can only imagine.. this is my last time in this bathing suit... I knew I shouldn't have splurged on this ..hello stretch marks next summer.
After we returned home.. a couple days later I saw the dr.. blood tests..then finally my first US.. I got to hear my little baby's heartbeat for the 1st time.. Somehow.. now its all a little more real
Mood: too many to list
I love these stories!
ReplyDeleteI never understood the whole "1 in 5 women misread a pregnancy test"... it's either a plus or a minus! if you can't tell the difference between a plus and a minus you need to go back to elementary school!
I think the people misreading the test are peeing on batteries. There happens to be both a plus and minus on those bad boys.
