Just seven short months into our marriage, Chad and I found out that we were going to have a baby! We were so excited to be parents, but were also a little unsure of it all since we hadn't been married for very long. The selfish side of us wanted more time to just enjoy each other. But that wasn't God's plan for us, and now we are so glad!
I wanted to share the exciting news with Chad in a special way. I didn't have much time since I wanted to tell him the same day I found out for myself. I could hardly hold it in that long!
I decided to spill the beans while watching one of his favorite movies, 'Facing the Giants'. The couple in this movie struggles with infertility for a long time. And at the end, they finally get pregnant! The wife tells her husband, who is a football coach, that he has finally 'made the Daddy team'. This part of the movie always gets to Chad... He gets teary-eyed and tells me how much he looks forward to being a dad. I thought this would be the perfect time to tell him that he has made the Daddy team too!
I wrapped up my three (yes, three! I had to be sure! Haha) positive pregnancies tests, along with a bib that said 'I love Daddy'. At the end of the movie, I brought it out for Chad to open. He had no clue what was going on at first, never having seen a pregnancy test before, he didn't know what it was! Then it kind of clicked and he looked at me with tears in his eyes and said, "Are you serious?!"
He asked me if I was serious about a hundred more times. I assured him that I was not messing around with him! We were terrified and excited, all in the same breath. And we had no idea what we were in for. :-)
