Well… the news is out! Baby Becher is due in March! I wanted to share the story on how we found out, because it was one of the best days of my life. On June 25th I came down with a bad cold, like worse than I’ve ever had before. Okay maybe I am being dramatic but I was miserable ha. I had a suspicion that I was pregnant but at the same time I didn’t know if I just wanted to be so bad that I was just hoping that I was. It was still too soon for me to take a test, but I wanted to be cautious with taking medication and I got the worst night’s sleep! The next day, I called my doctor’s office and asked the nurse what medication I was allowed to take. I felt so silly saying well I don’t know if I’m pregnant yet but I just want to be on the safe side!
Fast forward to Friday, June 30th. This was the day I had planned for the past 2 weeks to take my first pregnancy test. Let me just tell you, the two week wait is so real and will be the longest two weeks of your life ha! I asked Jaime if he would want to be there when I took it or if he wanted to be surprised. He of course said I could choose, but followed with “I like surprises!” I had off of work on that Friday so as soon as Jaime left for work I took the test immediately! It was a roller coaster of emotions. I wanted so bad to be pregnant, but I was also so nervous. The tests I bought were supposed to have two lines if I was pregnant and one line if I wasn’t. Well I took the test and waited the 3 minutes (which was THE LONGEST 3 minutes of my life ha) and it was hard to tell but it looked like there was a very faint positive! I had such a mix of emotions because it wasn’t a strong positive. I was only like 80% sure it was. I decided to go to Target and get the tests that actually say Pregnant or Not Pregnant so it was a black and white answer. I took the new test as soon as I got home and sure enough, POSITIVE! I was in complete shock. I couldn’t believe it. I was filled with so many emotions! Jaime had a half day of work – thank goodness because I don’t think I could have waited all day! I gave him a cute little box when he go home filled with the positive tests, a couple pacifiers that said “I love Daddy”, and a onesie that said “Baby Bear.” I of course was wearing the matching “Mama Bear” shirt (I couldn’t resist the cuteness)!
We are so excited and can’t wait to meet our sweet baby!
Love, Nicole B
