I broke....

Storhmy • Fri, Sep 27

Sorry in Advance, very lengthy!!!!

So my husband works out of town. He was coming into town because he knows I was down and out from not concieving for the 8th month of trying. So I told him let's exchange small gifts that we cannot spend more than $20. He said he loved that idea. So he calls me and say I need at least $25/$30, lol. I go, fine. So we were suppose to go to the store together but I went with my mom and I called him and said shop on the way in. He got home and we went to B-Dubs and order something simple and he couldn't wait to exchange gifts. Needless to say we both needed to see each other because this trying to conceive journey has been a pistol. So he hands me my first small gift bag. He said I need to explain them. The first was a small red journal. He said "this journal is for you and I both to write in and commemorate the baby we lost years ago because we both struggle with it". Needless say I broke, it was sooo sweet. Then there was a jar of rubber glue for me to start my scrapbooking of our other children that we have sooo many photos of as well as him and I. Loved it! He hands me the other bag and I just about fell out because as I reach in I pull out a box of pre-seed. I was just an emotional reck because he explains, "I know we have been trying, maybe this will help!" He states, "I feel bad that you are not conceiving." Well I kiss him and hugged him hard because he did what I wanted.....he got creative with the simplest things that pleased me, ever so. Not to mention driving hours to get to me late at night to have to be back on the road that morning. Well I hand him his gift, he opens it to find a nice leather wallet, with pics of him and I and the whole family, he loved it. Put that was just the decoy. He digs deep and pulls out a braclet box, he moves the confetti and he looks up confused. So he flips the item over and smiles extra hard with slight tears in his eyes. He can't believe that he's holding a positive pregnancy test. I made him a card and a baby onesie as well. He hugged me with what seemed like an eternity. He said he was taken it all back out of town with him and did so. This man was so dedicated because he showed up every time I ovulated or brought me out of town with him. We talked and laughed out loud at how both our minds went to baby gifts and how both of our gifts coincided with one another. So we took the pre-seed back and switched them for vegan, prenatals. I just love the blessing that lied with this whole ordeal. It was so hard keeping that from him since the 6th. I didn't want to say anything because I was unsure. I made a post about it earlier but its official ladies first doc and ultrasound September 30th and he said he'll be in town for it. Man, I love me some him!

Update: Morning sickness is kicking my butt with a capital "K"!! I don't understand why its called morning sickness as I read somewhere it's, more like forever sickness! Lmbo! Needless to say I've been miserable for weeks and my sweet husband, man....

He feels so bad for me that he's been driving in and out of town every other day just to make sure I can rest and give me belly rubs. He's always helpful at home but he don't want me to lift a finger. He always ask everyday did I take my vitamins and help with girls hair, and help the boys with homework. He's on top of it. He told me, he just want the baby and I too be okay. He's worried because I've never been consistently sick with any of my pregnancies. Plus the cramping...ahhh!

I just reassure him, it's just preggo symptoms. In all don't you just love your husband?! I'm very thankful for him and this pregnancy!!💞

Update 2: Had my first appointment/ultrasound yesterday 9/30. Very pleased to say that everything is going well thus far. My husband notice the heartbeat right away and got so excited because he was worried about the cramping I've been having. Well they reassured him everything was fine and baby is due 5/19 and not 5/13. Litte nugget!
