Pregnancy: Telling Your Husband You Are Pregnant

On Christmas day 2008 Mr F rolled over and proposed to me. I was in utter disbelief as he had convinced me not 2 months earlier than he was not ready for marriage. He later told me that he had not slept a wink the whole night, clutching the ring in his hand. A total bag of nerves.

On Christmas day 7 years later I finally knew how nervous he had felt back then. I too had kept a secret- albeit for less than 24 hours . I am pregnant. Pregnant! I have known about it for just over a day now and I am still not sure how I am feeling about it. I think I may be in shock.

Anyway, back to my story. My declaration wasn’t quite as romantic as his but it was monumental nonetheless. This news will change our lives forever- how I am not sure yet but I know everything is about to change. I have no doubt that it will be for the better, but I am so scared. This was not a part of my plan but I guess plans were meant to be broken.. or is that rules?

I wasn’t sure how Mr F would react, being so sudden, but he was just so happy. It made me feel calmer about it all, made me know it will all be ok. We won’t tell the girls for a while, if at all. I have suffered a miscarriage before so I am certainly not counting my chickens but I am going to try and keep positive and see where this journey will take us.

If you are reading this, we are a few months in and hopefully all is going well so far. I am keeping everything crossed.
