Not a whole lot was going on in the Mac family, ya know just working, hanging out with friends and family, that was until one fateful Friday night when everything changed....forrrrrreverrrrr :)
It was my father-in-laws birthday dinner and Mr. Mac had was coaching a soccer game. So I ran to Target to get a card and some wrapping paper for his present. My sister-in-law and I were planning on having a few adult beverages, and for some reason while roaming Target, I thought I better take a pregnancy test just to make sure. Yes Mr. Mac and I were trying, but I didn't think/feel/have any reason to think it would be positive.
So even though I am a grown married woman I always feel like a 16 year old buying a pregnancy test. Like let me hide this thing and avoid eye contact with the checker outer guy (yes it was a guy which makes it even worse) <------ again with the 16 year old thing.
Anywho I go home and it is 5 o'clock at night which according to all at home tests you have to pee on the stick first thing in the morning and yada yada. So there I am just waiting for the negative to come........................
It didn't come. Naturally I did what ever I just found out I am going to have a baby, woman does. I cried my eyes out...by myself. We have wanted this for so long and now it is here, and I have no idea what to do with myself. How am I going to tell Mr. Mac? I can't text him that is a horrible idea. How far along am I? Exactly how much have I been drinking in the last couple of weeks? Can I even eat the food at this dinner tonight? No wonder I have been extra crazy and emotional...I mean I had just cried my eyes out because my cell phone was broken, and there was no way I could live without my phone (perfectly normal here people).
Once I got it together I was able to wrap the present. I figured out I would be due around Christmas time, and thought I would wrap the test up in Christmas wrapping and give it to Mr. Mac after dinner. I forgot to take a picture of it because well I just found out I was pregnant and ain't nobody got time for pictures when you just found that out!
I get to my in-laws house and the second I told my sister I couldn't drink the cat was out of the bag to her. She figured it out right away. Perfect her and I had to keep this "secret" for the entire dinner. Cool as cucumbers we were! Maybe....kind of....probably not all but whatevs. She had to keep the secret for a couple more weeks ha!
When Mr. Mac and I got home he was utterly confused by the Christmas wrapping but once he opened it he was so excited and a little shocked. Our life was never going to be the same in a good way. We were and are just over the moon excited for Baby Mac.
I am back to blogging most of all for my memory because this whole pregnancy brain this is really real! Let me tell you! And since this is our first child everything will be documented for it's life, and I will just copy and paste for the second kiddo :)
