Brent and I decided we wanted to have a fam as soon as I finished my internship. The reason for this is that I am required to do a 560 hr. 14 week full time internship to graduate in my Major- Recreation Therapy. I did not want to do this monster with a babe at home that I had to wean early and spend no time with etc. etc. I'm starting my internship at Portneuf Hospital in Pocatello and now as it stands we will be finishing right around my 32 week mark. One thing we didn't realize is that sometimes getting pregnant, depending on the person, can be easier than making a play dough castle. I would like to take a minute to thank my mother for the fertility--considering I am one of 10 lovely children that she created.
We were kind of thinking it would take a few months but a few days would have been a little more accurate!
I took 5 pregnancy tests before I got a positive. The first one I actually took 10 day early haha! I actually took the last one and put it on the counter and forgot about it because I just knew it was going to be negative. When I came back and saw the double line I pretty much doubled over. It was such a surprise!
Here is a video of me telling Brent:
A little background. Brent has a mild hoarding disorder that is mainly exclusive to old high school t-shirts, stickers and shoes. I am always telling him to go through his stuff but he cries every time I bring it up. Because of that I had this idea: I took one of his drawers and emptied it out and filled it with diapers. Then I wrote this note:
"Hey daddy, you better move some of your stuff because I am moving in! I will probably be here in October so you have till then to give me some drawer space. I am only the size of a poppy seed but I think we are going to love each other."
He was so happy, surprised (because he knew about the 4 negative tests), and overwhelmed. It was a great day!
