Thank you SO much for the lovely comments, kind words, likes, and well wishes about our sweet little baby! It means the world to me to have your support and love. Thankyouthankyouthankyou.
I wrote this post a few days after I found out the lovely news.
Wednesday morning, November 5th, I woke up feeling even more nauseous than I did the night before and with a face full of obnoxious & out-of-control acne. It was annoying and stressful and not a normal occurrence. Ugh, it was awful.
I couldn’t shake the feeling of something being different. I was at work and couldn`t focus. I took a little walk to the drugstore, bought a pregnancy test…and then went back to work. And then I took the test…and then three more. All of them quickly confirmed that I was in fact preggo.
I was completely surprised, which is funny because hubs and I were not necessarily “not” trying but with my new job and our recent move into our two bedroom apartment, babies were not really on our minds. I was completely surprised and unable to keep my thoughts straight. I immediately called my friend Jess and started to hysterically cry and laugh and smile and lose my shit. I should also mention that I was outside of the bakery, on the corner of the street…looking like a fool.
Luckily I have a wonderful GM who totally let me go home and get my shit together.
How I got home is still a mystery to me; I was in such a daze and couldn’t wait to tell Aaron!
When I got home, I immediately took three more pregnancy tests (all SCREAMING preggo!); I updated our front hall chalkboard and placed a bun in the oven.
I had to fight the urge to call hubs and just spill the beans; I was TOO excited. I did a lot of pacing back and forth.
When hubs came home, he completely missed the chalkboard (which I totally expected) but he opened the oven like I asked him. He was so confused and when he finally understood what I was cryptically trying to tell him, his response was “holy fuck”…followed with a huge smile, pure excitement and happiness!!
We were both in state of shock but we are SO happy and feel so blessed to have a baby!!!

Holly!!! I am so excited for you and Aaron. I have not been on FB or any other media recently. Working too much overtime and the last thing I want to do at the end of the day is get back on the computer. I just wanted to say I love you and you look awesome. You will be an awesome mom. When is your due date?
xoxo
