The Very Beginning

I woke up at 4:30 the morning of October 5th, 2011 feeling a little "off". I had to pee pretty bad and decided, "Why don't I just take this pregnancy test." I am no stranger to the pregnancy scare so I had two on hand. It came back with a faint line that indicated positive. I woke my husband up to ask if he could see the faint second line. He said, "What line? You need to go back to sleep." I turned on every light in our bedroom including the closet light and the master bath lights and said, "You can't see that?" To which he replied, "Oh, I see it now." So that was that.

My mom and step-dad (pops) were coming close to where we live to look at homes to buy for when they relocate. My husband (Chef) and I decided to spend some time with them and help them look for houses. Little did we know that we would be letting them know they would be expecting their first grandchild.

We took my parents out to lunch and decided to break the news to them there. Here is where things got WEIRD. My mom and I have a pretty inappropriate relationship as it is so it wasn't a big deal for me to tell her. But, I didn't have the courage to tell my pops. With my mom it came out as, "I found out that I'm pregnant this morning." But with pops it felt more like, "We've been having unprotected sex!" So strange. Needless to say, they were both overjoyed until we put a gag order on them and told them not to tell anyone until we said it was ok.
