Last time I realized I was pregnant, I was half way through a bottle of wine (probably a white zin) when Brian's mom pointed out that I was having several symptoms of pregnancy. I attempted denial (it wasn't on my schedule), but knew in my heart that she was right.
Why am I always drinking wine when I realize I'm pregnant?
This time I was on my second glass of Shiraz when I suddenly realized I was a day late. In the past when I've taken pregnancy tests, I've done it without Brian knowing. Mostly, I was afraid of disappointing him with a negative, but sometimes I was just too impatient. He has been consistently annoyed with me for not involving him in the testing and waiting part, so this time I committed to letting him in on the fun.
I considered (for like 2 seconds) waiting the two weeks until Christmas to test, but I don't have that kind of patience or will-power to keep my mouth shut. Instead, I decided to break out a test immediately. Brian was upstairs working, so I surprised him with a cup of pee on a platter. You're welcome, sweet husband.
Brian joked about the smell of my pee and tried to give me a hard time about my methods, but later admitted that his heart was beating a million miles a minute. It was sweet he admitted it but I knew that without his confession. I could see the blood pulsing through his face. The man was so excited.
Three not-so-short minutes later, we had a positive pregnancy test!
We announced it to the parents immediately, and then to our siblings on Papa's Birthday!
And now it's your turn! World, we would like to officially announce the newest upcoming member of our family! Baby Hill #2 is expected to arrive this August!
We're so excited to start this next chapter of our lives!
