How We Found Out

Baby Hannay was planned and yes we were trying.  Our trip to Europe was the kick off to starting to try!  I have to admit that I thought we would get pregnant right away so I was a little surprised each month when we weren't pregnant.  Oh well- more trying!  :)

If this is all too much information you can certainly not read this but I assume since you are at my blog you want all the little details.  So here it goes-- so on Wednesday January 30th I was supposed to get my period.  My body is like clock work so when I didn't have my dear friend's visit in the morning I was a little excited and thought maybe this was our month!  Throughout the day I kept running to the bathroom hoping I still didn't have my period.  Wednesday night Ryan and I went to the Wild game with Dawn and Ross and I knew I couldn't get away without drinking and make it obvious so I ordered a glass of wine at the hotel before the game.  Ryan looked at me funny across the table and suspected that maybe I got my period.  I sort of gave him a silly look and he was confused.  When we got up from the table he said "Well..." and I just shrugged.  I told him so far we were in the clear but I didn't want to make anything too obvious to his parents so I figured one last glass of wine couldn't hurt!
A glass of wine before the game...   And trying to watch hockey when all I could think about was...

After the hockey game when I got home, Ryan figured I would take a test right away.  I couldn't.  I didn't want to because I was afraid it would say negative and I would be bummed.  So as long as I didn't take a test there was still a chance I could be preggers.  Unfortunately that was a bad idea because I couldn't sleep all night.  I was so excited for the possibility to be preggers my mind and thoughts were running all night!  My biggest thought was if I am pregnant how am I going to tell Ryan?!  I always envisioned doing something cute and having a fun surprise for him.  Well just keep listening...

So at 6am on Thursday morning when Dupree woke up Ryan to go outside I booked it to the bathroom to take a test.  It INSTANTLY came up positive.  The two lines were so obvious- there was no question.  I quickly snapped a picture on my phone, threw the test back under my sink, and hopped back in bed like nothing happened.  When Ryan and Dupree got back to bed, Ryan asked how I slept.  He always asks me this every morning.  So I said "not great."  He replied with "it's because you're thinking about babies."  Please note at this point we are both back in bed, laying in the pitch dark and Ryan has no idea I just took a test.  I said "Ryan I have to tell you something.  I'm pregnant."  So much for doing a cute surprise to announce to my husband!  He said "what?"  I said "I'm pregnant."  He asked how I knew and I told him I just took a test.  I showed him the picture on my phone of the positive test that I just took.  And his response "that's an internet picture."  So I jumped out of bed, turned on all the lights in our bedroom, grabbed the test and showed him the positive result.  And said "Seriously.  We're pregnant!"  He was of course thrilled!
The picture Ryan thought I took from the internet :)

What I adore about my husband is how much he thinks like me.  His first thought was 'how are we going to announce to everyone?'  That's another story for how we told all of our families!  But it was so fun to have this little secret between us!  Our secret didn't last long as I'm an open book.  This is the hardest secret to hold in especially when you are so close to family like we are- we work with family for the love of God!  It was hard.  But we kept the secret for a few days!

A few pictures we took that night after I got home from coaching...

 
Happily Excited,
