This Is How It Starts

So here we are 10 years into our relationship and 8 years into our marriage and now we’re pregnant! When we met there we already 2 wonderful boys Randy & Marc from a previous relationship, who I (husband) fell in love with and took care of as my own, but now we’re having one of our own. Here we are!

We are about 5 weeks and a few days pregnant we just found out about 4 days ago, the misses just thought she was getting the bug that was going around and with me starting a new job it kinda fit since that always happens, but when aunt flow didn’t happen we had a feeling but she had a weird visit a month or so back (we’re blaming stress). So after a few days and flow was a no show, we went the el cheapo route (remember we’re trying to start a business) and hit up the dollar tree for a test. She wanted to hit the bathroom and find out then, I encouraged her to wait till we got home, it would be less than an hour or so. When we pulled in to the house she was like the wind and soon she was doing the deed and, we had 3 minutes to wait, well almost instantly we saw the faint second line.  The longer the time drew on the darker the line got. I immediately ran to grab the Nikon to snap a few pics of this exciting moment.

As you can see those are some pretty dark lines. We decided what better way to tell everyone then to post it on Facebook and Twitter, but before we did we decided to text her mom and let her be the first to know. I’m still pretty sure some of our friends don’t know but they will figure it out eventually…..

We started saving immediately. We put all of our change and spare cash into an empty Welch’s grape juice bottle… aka “The Baby Fund”. If you want to donate feel free to email me for paypal information….. LoL (but for real email me).

 So here we are, on the road to having a baby. That’s the reason for this blog, among other things. To document our journey, our story and just about everything we care to share. I (the husband) have my own blog (gregstwicesasgood.blogspot.com) and the misses has one for our business (blog.electriccupcakes.com). So why not add a third to the mix, as if writing for 2 blogs plus all the other stuff we have going on isn’t enough. Well please check back often we hope to update at least once maybe twice a week, or whenever something new happens with the peanut (baby)…..

Ps. Here is the misses about 3 or 4 days pregnant (we didn’t know at the time this pic was snapped), be on the look out for the whole series of these to come..
