A year ago from today was a very special day. I was in Denver, Colorado to be with my best friend as she got married. Little did I know that I would remember that trip for more than just their nuptials.
You see, I was scheduled to fly back to Omaha that afternoon. Austin & I had been trying to get pregnant since January…. And I couldn’t wait… I HAD to take a pregnancy test. I was so used to them being negative that I was quite surprised when the stick immediately said that I was pregnant. I was thrilled. I had to tell someone… but of course not Austin… (I wanted to tell him in person!)… so I called my brother, Willy.
As soon as Laura awoke she came to my hotel room to see what I was doing, and casually asked if I was pregnant. She seemed quite surprised as well when all I could do was smile. If any of you have been trying to get pregnant… you can probably relate to this next one…. How to tell your partner. I had a new way of telling Austin for each month…. (Tell him on Father’s Day… his Birthday…. A Valentines Day present.. Etc, etc, etc)… Well… I had NO idea how to tell him when I was so far away.
So… Austin had been talking about how he really wanted a wolf shirt. Yep. I said it. A wolf shirt. I married a man that likes the wolf shirts. So… I got him one. He was soooo excited when I came home and got him this little doozy….
But then I gave him a onsie. It said “Dad’s the King, Mom’s the Queen, But I Rule!” -From Denver, Colorado. He looked at me, shocked, and said, “Does this mean what I think it means?!?” And the rest is history. We celebrated that night by drinking champagne & smoking "It's a boy" cigars.... okay, that's a lie. I don’t think we realized even then, that a year from then we would have the cutest little boy that could actually wear that onsie.
I about crapped my pants when all I could see was the title to this post!
