I woke up this morning at four a.m. Olivia and I were off to bootcamp at Connection Pointe which we go to every Tuesday and Thursday so early in the morning. I had this crazy dream, really, that I took a non-digital test and it said positive. I got all mad in the dream because I didn't have enough urine left to take a digital test which I have heard is more conclusive. I finally woke up and I was so upset that the dream wasn't true. I had prayed so much over the last five months and asked God for you. I rolled out of bed, got my workout clothes from my dresser and went and took the test. The first non-digital test read positive just. like. my. dream. I said "LEM!!!" (Which is what I call your Dad. More on that later) I went into the room, flipped on the lights and said "I'm PREGNANT!!!" Keep in mind, this is four in the morning and your dad is not much of a morning person. He patted me on the head and said "Good Job Bob." (Which is what he calls me, also more on that later) I went back into the bathroom and realized that I needed to continue getting ready since Olivia would be waiting for me. I thought, hmm I want to take a digital test but I don't have any urine left just. like. my. dream. I finished getting ready, went downstairs, took Niko out and fed him. I went into the bathroom with my forty dollars worth of tests and took out the digital one. I turned the water on at a slow trickle to convince my body to pee more. I sat there and waited, praying, longing, while the clock timer ticked away at the top of the test. Then, one minute (or eternity) later, it said YES+! I ran upstairs in all my bootcamp get-up. Flipped on the light and said "LEM! I'm really pregnant!!" I showed him and he just let out a sort of groan and went back to sleep. Later on that day, he said he had no clue that I took a digital test.
I was exploding with JOY. I'm not sure that I even stopped smiling. I texted Maggie and told her all about it and sent pictures of the tests. She was super excited and I hope that you one day, get to know her, her hubby, and little Oscar. You will like them. Promise.
Olivia and I drove separatly to bootcamp. I intended not to tell anyone until I first talked with your dad about what we would do about all of that. However, of course, it slipped. I told her all about it. We talked the ENTIRE time we were working out, or really just going through the motions. We talked, we laughed, we planned. You were drooled over! :)
I ended up telling a few other people, Chef (who blurted it out to the other two people in the kitchen on accident) and Maggie.
I called and made your very first appointment today. September 22nd at 8:45. Of course it's early in the morning so I don't have to wait around all day. That would drive me nuts! You will have your first ultrasound, a 101 and q+a session with a nurse practioner and a financial meeting all in one day. She said it would take 3 hours! I'm going to need a big nap after that.
Tonight...is a pretty big night. We have decided to tell your grandparents. Niko, our big baby Doberman, is going to tell them since he is your big brother and all. You might never remember Niko but I can promise you that he is the most amazing dog. You would be best friends with him. He will love you to death when he meets you. It makes me so sad that you might never remember him but you will get to spend at least most of your "babyhood" with him. I promise to get tons of pictures.
Any-hoo, Niko is going to wear a dog shirt that Olivia had made, it is going to say "Future Big Brother". We are having pizza night, which I am sure you will come to know, and love. I'm super tired today so I set the table extra fancy as you can see in the picture. :) After we eat, or possibly before. I am going to put his shirt on and send him running around. Not sure if they will catch on right away or not. We will see. It will be a crying festival. Tears of joy, of course.
Dads home!
We'll chat later.
Remind me to tell you about God.
