Just the THREE of us!

Just the THREE of us!


Oh my goodness! Where do I even start! I cant believe Im even writing this post! Its official.. After 10 months of being newlyweds, its not just US anymore! WERE PREGNANT!! We found out on Sunday, March 3rd, 2013. I knew I was pretty late, but that is kinda normal for me so neither one of us had put that much thought into it. Several doctors had told us before hand that it would probably be pretty difficult for us to get pregnant when the time came and so we hadnt really thought about it much. In case you forgot we havent even been married one year! Ha ha ha! So Sunday morning we woke up and started moving around and Kason joked that I should take a test and so I agreed just because we were NOT expecting anything from it! I went upstairs and read the instructions 462672 times. After I was done it said it would take 5 minutes or so to process. I put the cap on and washed my hands. It had a digital screen that had an hour glass dropping sand and so as I reached for the towel I checked to make sure it was still working.... It said, "PREGNANT" I couldnt believe it! It had maybe been 20 seconds! (Yes, just because I teach kindergarten doesnt mean I go through the entire alphabet each time I wash my hands) I grabbed the stick and RAN downstairs! Kason knew what it said before I even handed it to him! We both looked at each other in shock! We knew we must be way pregnant too because my last period had been like 6 weeks before! I didnt know what to say or think so of course I just cried ha ha ha I think I was nervous and scared and a little...okay a lot shocked! I just looked at him and started to cry. I wasnt sad, I just was nervous, and scared, and couldnt BELIEVE WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A BABY!
We couldnt wait to tell our families and so we both went and got dressed and drove down to Bunkerville. I was trying to think of a million simple but clever ways we could tell them. We decided that we would write with chalk on their driveway so when they were driving home they would see a message waiting down below their house. We wrote, "Two New Grandparents Live Here!" Then we drew arrows that pointed them all the way to their house. You know, just in case they werent thinking it was them! They were very excited! They couldnt believe it either! Natilyn, has a broken ankle and so she had just got a new hard cast put on. She hadnt heard our exciting news and it worked out perfect because the first thing she said to us was, "Want to sign my cast?!" Of course I agreed, and told her she had to close her eyes. I wrote, "Nat, Youre Going To Be An AUNT!!" She read it a few times and then her eyes finally popped wide! She was very excited too! We left from my familys house and headed home to tell Kasons family. It was actually kind of late when we finally made it to his parents house, we went in and werent quite sure what to say. It wasnt that I didnt want to tell them in a cute way too, but they already have grand kids, so I knew it wouldnt be as exciting as it was for my mom and dad, because this will be their first! Kelton and Kelli were playing around on their computer and Kelton seemed a little testy, so it was already making the night even more awkward ha ha. Kason sparked a random conversation about some empty picture frames Kelli needed to hang on her wall and asked what she was going to put there. She said she wasnt sure, so Kas said, "You can hang a picture of your new grand baby..." She lifted her head and said, "what?" and then she realized what he had said and they both were so excited! They were very, very shocked ha ha ha! When we told them that we drew with chalk on my parents driveway they were a little sad. So they made us go out to their driveway (at 10pm) and write the same thing ha ha ha. It was super fun! :) I am so glad we did so we could get a cute picture of our adventurous night!
After, all our excitement rubbed off we went home and climbed into bed. I had a slight nervous break down. I am sure the first of many, and Kas was so sweet to help me realize it would be okay! He is such a wonderful husband and I am so happy that he is mine for eternity. I couldnt have ever picked a greater man, or a more wonderful father for our cute babies!
