A planned pregnancy comes with a lot of anxiety and stress! That’s exactly how it was for me. Keep track of dates, ovulation kit, HPT’s, eat healthy, keep track of body temperature to know ovulation! I was so prepared for a baby that I was very over confident that it’s a piece of cake. I made sure I did everything under the sky right to get pregnant.
.
Unfortunately the first month was a fail. I cried and weeped. Every month a period was a normalcy for me but not that month. I shattered looking that an egg of mine. The one I took care of so cautiously was gone. I still remember how I weeped sitting behind the bathroom door. Looking at me so devastated my husband decided to give the “Baby plan” a little rest.
.
I just let it be and never took any ovulation tests for the coming month. There was a sudden plan for me to visit my brother in NY for a month. The day I had to board a flight I was already a month late for my period! I just thought it’s just a miss and ignored. I came back home for the long weekend( Labor Day) and my hugsband had planned for a vacay in Wisconsin dells .
.
I had get back from NY and pack my bag again to leave to Wisconsin! Amidst the excitement I just totally forgot that I have missed my period. We reached the resort after a good 4-5 hours journey and left to the water park. .
Yes! A water park and trust me I played all the water sports! The free fall, water slides ( longest, tallest, fastest), the tunnel ones. None were simple! The rides still give me a shiver!
.
We got back to the hotel and I realized “No period”!. Well, I ignored again and we ordered food and played Uno, a few other card games all night. .
The day we had to leave back I drove all the way back home for 4 hours without any breaks as hugsband was not well. I was tired! Super tired! .
I went in to pee and then thought to myself “ what’s wrong is taking a test as I have missed a period”!. Ours was a 1br, 1ba apartment then. My husband was using the restroom but I couldn’t wait. I just dodged in to the shower and drew the shower curtain and took HPT!!!
.
My eyes welled up looking at the two lines! My heart beat just raised and I could hear it in my head!
.
I had thought for weeks about how to reveal it to my husband! May be buy a onesie which says “Hi daddy” or wrap the HPT in a gift paper for him to guess and what not! But that moment all I did was hug him and cry! I cried like a small baby! That was a wow moment! I can never forget that day!
