Baby Laines-The Day I Found Out I was Pregnant! :D

You see me & the husband had always talked about wanting kids, we always said that once we got married we were gonna be a legit mexican couple and just see what happened!  Sooooo when our year anniversary came and went we started to think that maybe things weren't just gonna happen...BUT we continued living our lives and figured EVENTUALLY it would happen, and if we were in a super amazing place with jobs, houses, cars, etc. we would figure it out then.  WELL I still thought about it, thought about why we hadn't been pregnant yet, and why?  BUT we were just living life, and enjoying our time together JUST THE TWO of us! :D

on February 22nd that I didn't feel so good.  I didn't know why, but I just didn't feel "right" something was up, and I immediately thought hmmm..could it be?  BUT I brushed it off and said "No, and if it is, I'll test in the morning" since thats when they said is best any way right?  So, next thing bright and early I thought, Oh ya!  I want to test, just to make sure!

Well I did and I brushed my teeth while waiting thinking OF COURSE it was going to say "Not Pregnant" but then I finished brushing my teeth & what did I see?!?!

(I have tried several times to post the pictures of the test, of course for show, but OF course stupid blogger won't let me!  I have tried to do it several different ways and NOPE doesn't work!  SOOOO doesn't look like you guys are going to be able to see it!  BUT imagine my hand with cut painted nails holding a test that says PREGNANT!) :D

I couldn't believe it!  I literally stood there shocked!  I really didn't think that it was real, I think I stood there for a few minutes staring at the test (even though it was probably only a couple of seconds it felt like forever) and I ran to the room because I knew there was NO way that I would be able to keep this a secret for any amount of time from the husband!  He was sound asleep in bed, when I ran in and said "OMG!!  OMG!!  OMG!!"  of course he did what any normal husband would do and jumped out of his slumber thinking I was getting murdered or something and said "WHAT!?!"  I immediately shoved the test in his face and said "LOOK!"  He was so confused (probably because he thought I was being murdered but instead was just stuffing a pee stick in his face).  AND said "uggh..what is that?" I immediately said "OMG!  It says, I'm pregnant!!"  He looked at me eyes filled with mokos still and said "oh, congratuatlions" I immediately started laughing!  So hard, I said "what?!  Did you really tell me Congratulations!?  HAHAHHA" he just looked at me possibly in shock still, because clearly I was still in shock myself!

I sat on our bed looking at the test, I think I was waiting for it to suddenly show a NOT in front of it, but nope!  It didn't happen & on this random day in February me & the husband were officially going to be parents :)

We had decided a long time ago, when but that we woudn't tell anyone once we finally got pregnant for the three months or at the very least until we went to the doctor!  So I said, Okay, we'll tell everyone that I gave up ALL alcohol for lent (since thank god, it had started just the day before) and we would tell everyone on Easter, 40 days later!

Once, the husband left to work I immediately called my closest, favorite cousin and AFTER making her SWEAR on her kids and numerous other things that she would NOT tell a single soul I told her that I had taken a test and it was positive and couldn't believe it!  She was so excited and I could feel how excited she was even from hundreds of miles away!  And we talked about all things baby!

Once I got to work I couldn't belive it still, and all I could think about was is it possible?  Once I got home I took TWO more tests just to be sure, and they were all positive!  This was it, the Laines Family would no longer be TWO + beasts but would soon be THREE :D  and I can't wait!

Stay tuned for the next story:  How we told the Parents :)

March 13th

It's amazing that in the past couple of years I have really become quite attached to the #13. It's true. It's probably the reason why I chose our wedding to be on the 13th. I do love Friday the 13th, and no I don't think it's a scary day. I LOVE it!! It probably has to do with my grandpa, today is his birthday and I use to love when he would get excited to go to Vegas for his bday and it landed on a Friday!

Today, I thought about him more then I usually do and today I know more then normal EVERYONE is missing him a little more! I can't even begin to explain the hurt that my family felt the day that he passed, actually I can't even explain the hurt we still feel, every holiday, get together, actually most times I go to my grandma's house I expect him to be sitting in his chair, asking me "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH so nice of you to come see your grandparents" My dad must get this from him....it is amazing how fast three years goes by and it is even more amazing that not a day goes by that we don't miss him. You would think, that after three years it would get easier, but I think it's the opposite, because you think of all the things that have happened in three years, that he didn't get to see. It really does remind you that you can't ever take life for granted because it truly can be gone in an instant.



he's so funny

Soooo, today is his bday and usually I feel sad, and miss him more then ever and spend the day just thinking, BUT today, for some reason TODAY I feel like he is watching over me. I heard once on a TV show that was talking spirits that when you feel they are with you, and you can truly feel it, then they are. And I truly feel like today he is with me!!! It makes me miss him a little less today, because I know he is here! So happy birthday grandpa, you truly were the BEST grandpa that ANYONE could EVER ask for!!! It's true! You spoiled us and yelled at us and you showed us how to make "us" popcorn! I LOVE YOU so much and MISS you more then ever, BUT today I don't miss you so much I just feel happy because I can feel you here!!!
