Introduction:
“My mouth was on the floor and my brain is doing it’s best to process the information.”
With the amount of grief that our family has been living through is bleak to say the least. So many beautiful souls have passed on in a short amount of time. But I was in total disbelief at this shocking discovery. Please continue to read along to discovery why I had such a strong reaction to our beautiful surprise.
First Phase:
In September of 2024, I started seeing a new OBGY/N, Avina Women’s Care, due to serve period cramps and heaving bleeding. The plan was to conduct a series of tests to make sure that everything was working properly. One of the major test would be a uterine biopsy, which would involve an in office procedure to collect uterine tissue to have tested for any medical issues. This test was set for October 31st, and to be honest, I was nervous because I didn’t know how painful the process was going to be. But before the procedure, I needed have my urine tested to make sure I’m not pregnant. Pregnancy was the last thing on my mind, because we had just lost my father-in-law. While sitting I’m waiting in the quite and sterile exam room, I had no idea of the news I was about to receive from my doctor. As I am taking off my shoes, I hear the doctor say hold on and she has the biggest smile on her face. She stated the pregnancy test was positive so we wouldn’t be preforming the biopsy today. I felt my jaw hit the floor and it took me a minute to register the news.
Second Phase:
Revealing this new information to my spouse was the most nerve racking part of the whole thing surprisingly. I didn’t understand why because we are a team and we will support each other no matter what. But I know how he can worry himself to death about the smallest things and we already had so much going on already. While in the parking lot of the doctor’s office, I called my husband and similar to my own reaction with the doctor, it took him a moment to register the surprising new. He was frantically making plans in his had about workin overtime or extra job to sure we had everything we need for this new bundle of joy. The feeling of nervous excitement filled the air as we tried to wrap our minds around bring another life into this world. As for my son, Maximus, he was over joyed about having a new sibling.
Third Phase:
Once the original shock is gone, Kyle and I were able to start planning this new chapter in our lives. I needed to get all the blood work done at the hospital lab and in office, to make sure all my levels were where they needed to be. According to my last period date, we were going have another July baby in 2025. The more we kept thinking about everything, the more excited we became. My sone was too excited to tell anyone and everyone that there was a baby in my belly so trying to keep it a surprise for other family members was difficult. And on top of everything else, my partner and I just planned a trip to Las Vegas for my birthday so this shall be interesting. Stay Tuned.
