A few weeks ago I was super duper sick. I had a bad sinus infection and no insurance yet. So I was all hopped up on OTC drugs trying to get rid of it. Well in the mean time I convinced my employer to let me go on the insurance and I'd just pay their portion. They agreed and backdated it to Jan. 1. Well that is the good and the bad about me being sick. When I was so sick I remember a specific day that I didn't take a pill. I took two the next day to make up for it (but as we quickly learn, that doesn't actually work). So the good part - I managed to get health insurance. The bad part - I managed to need that health insurance a lot sooner than I expected.
So we were supposed to go to an all day drinking bash at Kacky's (our local bar) for the playoff games and an overall fairwell to the bar. I was supposed to start my period the day before which generally doesn't get me too worked up since my schedule has been off WAY more before. But about a week before I had a little spotting. Which for me is generally a trigger to know that my period is coming. But she didn't. I kept waiting and expecting and nothing. I was super bloated with big, sore boobs and some cramping and nothing. Normally how I can jump-start my period is by peeing on a stick. And I knew this would give me piece of mind to go ahead and drink away. So I had Rick go down before me and I ran out to the drugstore (no reason to alarm him when I knew it was nothing). I grabbed a two pack of the cheapies and some Starburst and headed back home. I had to pee as soon as I got home so I headed off to do my business. Literally as soon as the pee soaked through (sorry, I know that sounds gross but really that's what it's doing) there was a plus sign. A pretty dark one. I freaked out for a second but convinced myself I needed to walk away for the whole two minutes. So I went out and set the timer and waited. It actually seemed like it was 30 seconds and the timer went off. I walked back to the bathroom and holy fuck there was still a plus sign. I hyperventilated right there on the spot. How could we possibly be pregnant already? Even if I had missed a day, there was no way it was going to be this easy. I mean both girls took fertility treatments. And we knew he didn't have perfect swimmers. So I tried to think straight for a second. I didn't know who to call or what to do. Rick, obviously, had to be the very first person that I could possibly tell. But what if I wasn't really pregnant? Then I'd still want him to be a part of that whole thing, right? Out of habit I dialed my sister but she didn't answer (looking back now, I'm really glad she didn't. Now I get to see her face when I tell her she'll have a third niece/nephew). I called Rick to see what he was doing. But I couldn't tell him over the phone while he was sitting in a bar. And I couldn't ask him to come pick me up considering he got a ride with someone else so he wouldn't have a car there. So I got in my car and went down. I messaged him to come out to walk me in and this is what I got:
Me: Can you come out and get me?
Rick: Really? Where?
Me: I'm in the parking lot
Rick: OK (But insert eye rolling and annoyance because I had never acted like this before and why would I now when he was watching a great hockey game with a cold beer?)
So he came out to the car and got in and asked me what was wrong. I told him how I had this whole thing planned that I had a cute card and some candy to give him for our one-year non-anniversary (the day we met) and all but that things changed a little bit. And I pulled out the stick. I didn't know what else to do. I figured he'd want proof or something (have I mentioned I hadn't been thinking clearly?) so I took it with me. haha! We both laughed a bit, I cried (obviously) and I was shaking so badly.
Can I just tell you how freakin happy I am? Seriously!
I'm having a baby!!!!!!!
