So on a typical day off I wouldn't expect to be woken up at 5am, but on November 22nd I got a surprise that will change my life forever. Jennifer woke me with a smile on her face from ear to ear and she told me that for the first time since we've been trying, we finally have a positive indicator that we're pregnant.
My first reaction was along the lines of "What are you thinking, it's 5AM and I don't have to be at work?", but after a moment to come to I was ecstatic to hear that it's finally happening. After all this time we are finally having a child of our own.
Our initial thoughts were that it happened while we was on vacation which wouldn't have been the best scenario since there was some wild nights with fishbowls and cool Caribbean breezes, but after we had our first doctor's appointment and found the doctor's estimates we slowly realized that we was safe and that it happened more than likely on a Saturday afternoon where there were constant reruns on TV. On a more serious note it happened after vacation and it was good that it did.
Right now we're at 14 weeks and I couldn't be happier. A conversation Jennifer and I had when we first got married and was planning a family was that I wanted to be a father before I was 26, so with the timing we are expected to be due on August 2nd which is a month before my 27th birthday. My thoughts are that this is perfect timing if I say so myself and I am just very grateful that we can finally experience our first pregnancy as I cannot wait to be a father to a son or daughter.
Don't tell Jennifer, but I don't have a preference and I'm just excited that we can share this experience together!
Daddy to be!
