Telling Hubby

{ Originally written August 31st, 2012 }

When I got my first, albeit faint, positive I couldn't hold it in for long and waited for my chance to set up my little surprise. By early morning Dyl woke up and disappeared to the washroom, I knew this was my chance and if I didn't do it then I wasn't sure how long I could hold it in.



'Hello Daddy' card inspired by pinterest

I dashed into our, soon to be, nursery and grabbed the little onesie I had made earlier this year and the little card I created last week in hopes this was our cycle. I put them out on the bed with the positive test and after spending way more time looking at that beautiful second line I pulled the covers over and waited. Shortly after Dyl came into the room and pulled the blankets down revealing my little surprise, it took him a moment - I hadn't realized that from his height the positive test looked more negative. But once he leaned in to see, a smile spread across his face and he pulled me in for a tight hug. Afterwards we sat in bed just talking about the shock, we had been trying for so long and had gotten so used to the negative tests that this little positive seemed so unreal but we were both so happy.
We've been biting our tongues as we wait to tell our families, which will more than likely happen this week, I know I want to wait a bit longer to tell our friends and coworkers but even if something bad does happen I would want the love and support from our families rather than trying to hide our hurt. We're praying nothing bad does happen, we are already so in love with this little one and us along with our families deserve something good after all the difficulties we've faced - especially in the last year, but also after loosing our precious son almost four years ago.

I'm working on a way to surprise our families with the good news, they have all been waiting so long for us to get pregnant that I feel like a quick mention would be too impersonal.
