Pregnancy Test: Positve
Lately, I've been thinking, "What would I want to know if I could go back in time and see what MY parents were doing before I was born? What were they thinking? How did they feel? What were my parents do when they discovered that they were prenant?"
The wedding was over, the honeymoon was just a memory, and your mom was finally moved all her things into the house. The Christmas season had just come to an end, and we just started getting into our routine.
I remember I was sleeping the morning we discovered we were pregnant. Your mom had bought some pregnancy tests "just in case". Your mom would usually get up before me, get ready for work, then I would follow. It was always soothing to hear your mom getting ready in the morning. For some reason, the sleep was best in those early morning "getting ready to go to work" minutes. This particular morning, your mom ran into the bedroom screaming, "Dino Dino Dino!" I thought that a spider had bitten her on the face. But when she came into the room, the screaming was due to excitement.
I could barely see, since I had just woken up. Your mom was holding the pregnancy test in front of me showing me that it was positive.
I still can't believe that you will be reading this some day.
My eyes could not adjust to the light, and I barely knew what was happening. As soon as I woke up to semi-consciousness, I examined the test and told your mom not to get her hopes up. Deep down inside, I was getting excited, but I didn't want your mom to be disappointed if it was a false-positive. We hugged and embraced wondering "what if". I didn't even want to go to work that day.
The following days, and three pregnancy tests later, we were pretty convinced. Every test was positive. We wanted to tell the whole world, but we were weary. We wanted to hear it from a doctor before we told the whole world. And you know what? Your mom couldn't get into her doctor for a few weeks. It was too much to bear. The excitement was too much, so we ended up telling your Granpa Ken, and Aunt Rhi. A few days later we told my parents (your Yiayia and Papou - I think that's what you're going to call them), as well as your Uncle Peter, Aunt Michelle and Aunt Gina.
I still can't believe that I am referring to our parents and my siblings as grandparents and aunt and uncles. It blows my mind.
Everybody was super excited for us. Uncle Peter and Aunt Michelle are also expecting a baby. The crazy thing is that you will never know a life without your cousin. You two will be together for your entire lives. But right now as I write, you two don't even know each other. These are extremely exciting times.
