Thank you for the best gift I could ever ask for.
He’s happy about this baby. He’s not running.I’ve already given you my forever.My heart leaps for joy at the mere thought of his words from this morning in the on-call room. This man wants to marry me. He freaking proposed! I almost threw up all over his shirt when he asked me not to answer–sure that he was taking it all back, immediately jumping to the conclusion that he was just spewing emotional word vomit–but thankfully, he quickly remedied that.
Finishing up my shower, I turn it cold for a few seconds to help quell the queasiness that just washed through me before drying off.Ugh, I’d really rather not puke right this second.
He wants to do it right. Butterflies swarm in my belly, different from the morning queasies, and I suddenly wonder what those first flutters of our baby will feel like. I need to ask the girls. I need to tell the girls. How do I tell them?
Our baby…
How far along am I? With the bouts of morning sickness and the really weird ‘period’, I wonder if I’m further along than just the period I’m missing now.
Buzz.
Dr. Sexy: I’m bringing home prenatals.
I smile goofily at my phone. He’s bringing ‘home’ prenatals. Do we live together now? I mean, I’m not opposed. I just feel like we’re leaping over a bunch of stepping stones here.Breathe…
I call Dr. Wideman’s office and set up an appointment to find out how far along I am. The nurse agreed that the funky spotting of last month’s ‘period’ could mean I’m closer to the two month mark instead of newly pregnant, meaning it’s totally possible that I got pregnant the weekend we all went away. They’ll get me in on Tuesday for a quick transvaginal ultrasound to date things and make sure things are looking good. She also said Wideman would have some bloodwork orders put in for me as well.
Me: I go for an ultrasound next Tuesday to find out how far along I am
Dr. Sexy: Good
Me: So you’re not freaking out?
Dr. Sexy: No, I am the complete opposite of freaking out. You’re stuck with me
I snort.
Me: We’ll have to figure out how to tell everyone
Dr. Sexy: After Sydney gets home and everyone gets together?
Me: Exactly where my mind was going
Dr. Sexy: So just a few more days… If you’re okay with that? Or do you want to wait longer? It’s totally up to you
Me: I’d rather tell them in a few days. They’re family. The rest of the world can wait though
Dr. Sexy: Parents?
Me: Soonish, lol
Dr. Sexy: My mom is going to be so excited.
Me: Oh my gosh, I haven’t even met your mother yet. She’s going to think I’m a whore
Dr. Sexy: Holly…
Dr. Sexy: What’s your middle name? Oh how I wanna middle name you right now…
Me: SEE?!
Dr. Sexy: There are plenty of couples who date longer than we have that still don’t know each other’s middle names. You are NOT a whore
Me: … …
Dr. Sexy: Don’t dot dot dot me
