telling my baby daddy

**First, I need to give a little shout out to the man featured in this post. Christian has done an amazing job taking care of me through this pregnancy thus far. I'm a very blessed girl and I can't wait to watch my sweet husband be a dad!**

Now that the sap fest is over.....
This pregnancy has been full of lots of funny things so far. 

Man, have I filed away a good barfing story or two!

(Or twelve!)

But one of my favorites is the way I broke the news to Christian. 

A little back story:

We knew that pregnancy was a very likely possibility

(let's be real, it was very strategically planned)

and being the anxious annie's we are, we bought some pregnancy tests a little prematurely. 

I took one the earliest I could, and it was negative. So we decided to wait it out for a few days before I did another one. Well, the first day of school rolled around I was feeling great. 

Chipper and happy, and abounding with energy. In fact, I spent 2 hours at the gym that morning like a boss.

(I would kill to feel that awesome again ha!)

So probably a little high on endorphins, I got home from my cycling class and was all

"HEY! Today is freaking great, why not take another pregnancy test!?"

Or something like that. 

 So I do my thing, and then I'm waiting and waiting and waiting.

And it's taking about 100% longer to emit results than my first test did, so I start freaking out because 

"I have been feeling so AWESOME, I can't possibly be pregnant can I?!"

About 3 minutes later, I walk back into the bathroom to see this.

(Sorry. Pee stick pictures are awky!)

And I immediately burst into tears. 

Obviously, I was BEYOND thrilled.

So my poor husband is already at school, hard at work in the library with NO IDEA what's going on at home. I considered waiting to tell him until we were together, or doing some cute announcement for him, or whatever...... and about 2 seconds later I decided that's the STUPIDEST THING EVER.

So I took a picture of the pregnancy test and sent it to him in an email.
(I know I know but guys I just couldn't wait!)

Followed by a frantic strand of g-chat messages, telling him to "CHECK YOUR EMAIL" of course.

So imagine. 

There's Christian, on the first day of a new semester, sitting in the library, and all the sudden he open his email to a positive pregnancy test from his wife. It's a miracle he didn't go into cardiac arrest!

And thankfully he was just as excited as I was.
