So, when we first started “trying,” I had thee cutest sign made by @aubreykashdesigns, (go check out her stuff she is amazingly talented) because I was under some delusion I would get pregnant right away.. and I was glad I did because I would not have been able to wait to have something cute made once I found out. Side note… I realize every single life event doesn’t have to be a production but did want to make this moment special because hey.. its our first baby and the hubs told me he wanted to be surprised. So here it goes….
I may have fibbed a little bit about my estimated period date to give myself a few days to know before Wil would suspect anything. So my period was due on a Monday and I woke up on the Friday before dying to take an early pregnancy test. (I had sworn off early pregnancy testing because after months of seeing negative after negative it gets discouraging). BUT I took the test, stared at it and WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN…… that precious little second line made itself clear. I was in shock. So naturally, I took another one- a digital one so I couldn’t misread it. PREGNANT. Instant tears. The can’t breathe sobbing, tears. I have never felt more overwhelmingly grateful in my whole life. I’m still in awe that the Lord has blessed me to carry this baby.
So.. took the test.. freaked out.. and then scrambled with thoughts on how I could tell Wil. I told him our friends wanted to get dinner and go take pictures for the blog. He was NOT about it. He was having a long day a work and did not want to go take pictures. BUT I had “already said yes” (wink).. so he agreed. I then stopped texting him because I couldn’t even stand it. I went to the cutest boutique in town and picked up the sweetest newborn onesie, some moccasins, and a little toy. I had thee biggest butterflies in my stomach. I told my friend that I had a surprise for Wil and wanted to capture his reaction on camera. She freaked and automatically knew… I told her I could neither confirm or deny until after I told Wil 🙂
So… Wil got home from work. Is in THEE worst mood, HOLY COW (sorry love, but its true). He had a rough day at work and made it CLEAR that thee last thing he wanted to do was to go and take photos. He actually said, “this is like me making you go to the gym after working a 14 hour shift.” AHAHAHAH- Hilarious.
We literally were arguing in the car on the way there, but I was still so giddy so I couldn’t even get into it. We pulled up to where they were all set up and we started taking photos ( even they could tell someone was grouchy 🙂 ). So we took some pictures together and Kailah asked Wil to take some single shots of him with me in the background. Brock handed me the sign while Wil faced Kailah and then asked him to turn around and look at me.
He was the sweetest. He dropped to his knees and cried. I cried. We all cried. We hugged & kissed & cried some more. And then GUESS who was so happy to take pictures after he found out he was going to be a day <3 He’s just the cutest. Thanks for reading our story.
XO,
, Wil & Sweet Baby G
