Discovering Baby

For those of you who don't know we're having a beautiful baby boy...and yes, I know he will be the most beautiful thing ever. Have you seen my handsome husband?! Although many of you knew of our fantastic news many of you don't know how this came to be. Let the story begin.
It was a day that I had work off and had decided to spend it with my sweet mother. We were out that morning running errands and accomplishing our check off list. Weeks ago I had told my sweetheart that I felt I was pregnant...He instantly laughed and quickly reminded me of the other 13 times I had said that same thing. Weeks ago, we had finally, after weeks and weeks of praying we had reached our decision of wanting to wait to bring our own precious angel into the world. Wait for what? Well like any newly wed couple we had BIG plans. Plans to go on vacations; camping, Disneyland, maybe something we couldn't afford? Perhaps Europe. We love our alone time and by love I mean we're super weird about it. We want as much of it as we can possibly get. Maybe purchase a new car, a new house to make a home in, and let's not mention the savings account that was dwindling. As we were laying in bed, I asked 'should we have a baby'? and you know what he said? With absolutely no hesitation whatsoever one word and one word alone came out of his mouth. 'NO'! and with that we turned over and went to sleep and didn't talk about it again.
About a week later, that feeling of having a little body in me had not changed. Mom and I were at the dollar store and I grabbed a few of those pregnancy tests to ease my anxious mind. We went to moms and I took the stick out and to my surprise it was positive. What?! A positive?! What in the world was I going to do? All of these crazy thoughts came rushing through my mind. I was in pure panic mode. What was Jace going to say? How would I tell him? He said no baby. Shoot.
I got in to my car, I prayed until I reached Jaces place of employment, and waited for him to come out. I told him I had a few different things I needed to talk to him about. I pulled out the box from my purse, then pulled out the stick from the box and handed it to my husband. He looked at it, then looked at me.. "yes, we're pregnant"! He didn't believe it. I told him that that is what the stick said. Were we ready for this? I'm not sure. But as we sat and ate our fulfilling Wendy's meals I asked if he was disappointed or upset? Luckily for me my husband was nothing but happy, supportive, and hopeful for a boy.
I'm almost embarrassed to admit that later that night I found myself lying in Jaces arms crying that I had this miracle growing inside of me. I wanted that alone time. I wanted those vacations. I even caught myself saying "I really really like my sleep" Pathetic, I know.




Months later we went to the Dr. hoping above all that we would be able to discover the gender of our little baby. Truth be told I was incredibly nervous...not because I cared whether it was a boy in blue or a girl in pink but because I knew just how badly my manly husband was hoping and praying for the little itty bitty thing to be a boy. The Dr. came in after about 1 1/2 of waiting and waiting she knew after seconds that it was a boy. Hurray for us! A beautiful baby boy we will have. A mini me Jace running around is more than I could ever ask for. I don't know if it's just me but the minute I saw that positive sign I was a mom. I loved this little miracle growing inside of me. Morning sickness all morning day and night, Dr. Bills, sore breasts, no clothes to wear, an itchy belly, restless nights, emotional mess, cravings of otter pops all day and even in the middle of the night, and even those awful stretch marks. I'll take it all. This baby is growing on me. June 14th can't get here fast enough. We cannot wait to meet you little Jace Jr.

Seriously! The cutest profile already.

Look at that leg. He will play Soccer just like his daddy!

Your view at 20 weeks! Half way mark :)

My view. A little bit bigger and slightly more depressing for my body.
