Friday October 1, 2010, A Day I will Never Forget

Just as soon as I opened the door to get back in my car to head to work (after finding out) I got a text message.  There were several odd things about this message.  The text was from my cousin Danielle and she NEVER text me... I know that sounds crazy but she would always bbm me.  And secondly she never forwarded texts and this was a forwarded one. Thirdly she never sends me a message in the morning, because I am so bad about responding then... ha ha ha.  The message was something to the effect of "God is with you today whatever your struggles are just give them to him."  That's not exact, but it's basically the meaning of the text.  All I could send back was you have NO idea. And I knew she would immediately call me... which she did.  She was so excited because she was also pregnant and we could go through this journey together!! And believe me without her to ask questions too I would be completely lost (even more so than I already am.) The next few people that found out were Kimberly and Vicki.  They were both super excited as well.  My next mission was to figure out how to tell Josh.

I knew I had to tell him in person, so it would have to wait till the end of the work day.  I struggled with it all day and my emotions were wild.  One minute I was crying the next I was so excited.  Keeping this secret all day was so incredibly hard!! But I decided to get pedifores and had Teresa's bakery add the plastic baby rings on top, so all I would have to do is hand them to him.  So I called Josh and asked him to meet me at the "new" house and I would be there just as soon as I went and got Chaser.  I knew we would need Chaser for support :).  I also told him I needed for him to meet me there ALONE and we needed at least 30 minutes or so by ourselves.  He argued with me and got pretty mad because he was suppose to meet his parents at our "old" house to start moving things that night.  I was in tears when he said no... And finally I just said, "meet me at the new house by yourself and tell no one to come until later... I have NEVER asked you to do anything like this before and please just do what I ask for once!!"  Finally he gave in.  On my way home I cried all the way and finally when I finished crying and was about to turn into our road Chris called... So the tears came again.  I tried really hard to quit before I got out of the car.  I pulled up and Josh was already home and of course I was still in tears.  All I could do was hand him the box of pedifores... He stood there for a minute and before he opened them said your pregnant aren't you... And again I burst into tears and all I could do was shake my head yes... He didn't say a whole lot and walked around the house for about 15 minutes with Chaser, silently.

He then accepted the idea and said well... I guess we are going to have a baby!! :)  And the rest of the night we moved furniture keeping it quiet until everyone had left, except Joe and Jess.  (Jess found out earlier because she walked in and tried to hand me a glass of wine and I wouldn't take it ha ha.)  But of course he had to tell Joseph...


These are the pedifores I gave to Josh
