So my partner and I were texting and its COVID 2020 so not only am I knocked up but there are restrictions at my OB (no complaints here). That means I’ll be going to all appointments alone, so I was basically telling him I’d record the heartbeat for him so he won’t miss it.

Like many women in history, I was not TTC when my eggo became preggo. So my announcement to the LOML wasn’t some joyful thrilling awwww-inspiring to-do. Not by a long shot... by the end of the conversation I was dedicated to this child, but he was only dedicated to me 👀 totally blamed me for what could only have happened BEFORE the unprotected sex I said would be fine (at least, according to science 🤷🏾‍♀️ I tested LH and the unprotected occurred post-ovulation long after any human egg could remain viable... he doesn’t quite grasp that yet). Anyway...

Here’s our somewhat humorous text exchange🙄 as a disclaimer, he’s honestly more excited than I am 🤦🏾‍♀️ keeps going on and on about all the fun stuff we’re going to do as a family with our first.

For anyone who isn’t familiar with American pop culture or political bullshit (are the two even distinguishable anymore?), “I want to see the receipts!” is a pretty popular meme here, and in 2017 Trump essentially sent out a tweet about “negative press covfefe” which he later deleted and claimed was not a typo... Sean Spicer was the White House press secretary at the time. It’s speculated that the president meant to write “coverage,” but he denies this rather emphatically.

That gif says “I wanna see the receipts”
