In the beginning….

It was 6 AM on Tuesday December 13th. Another typical day in the Sheldon household.- except that it wasn’t. This was an exciting morning, the morning I got to pee on a stick. I know what you’re thinking (especially if you’re a male), what’s so exciting about peeing on a stick? Well, this was the morning that would change the rest of our lives. I probably only slept about 3 hours the night before because I was so excited but I had promised myself that I would not test any earlier. So at approximately 6:03 AM two lines appeared in the pregnancy test window and I’m pretty sure I almost passed out from excitement. I had tried for days not to get my hopes up, but in the back of my mind I think I knew I was pregnant. After seeing it turn positive the first thought that popped in to my head was “I have to tell Matt.”

Now, many wives plan elaborate and cute surprises to tell their husbands. However, if you know me, you know I have zero patience. So I thought the next best thing would be to record Matt’s reaction. If you know Matt or have ever been his roommate you may know he is not a morning person. I’ve never seen anyone who could sleep through an alarm with the volume all the way up. But Matt can. So I will let the video speak for itself (note turn the volume up- the end is the best part):



Baby Sheldon, if you are reading this you were not an accident and your father does know how it happened. Matt is not happy that I posted this video but it is truly too funny not to. 80% of the time when I wake Matt up in the morning (yes I have to wake him up even after the alarm goes off) he is talking to me in his sleep. Usually I get bizarre commentary about sports or TV shows we watched the night before (“Oh Barry”). So who knows if this was sleep talking or just total shock. In all seriousness though, after the sleep haze wore off, Matt was over the moon. He is already in love with this baby. He talks to my stomach even though the baby is itsy bitsy, he reads to me from the many pregnancy books he bought (that’s right he went to a bookstore on his own and bought me books- so sweet), and even has been doing a lot of the housework so I can rest when I get home (I am pretty much always exhausted). I am so thankful to have him as my husband and Baby Sheldon’s dad!
