The day I found out I was pregnant was the best/scariest day of my life. I cried for days trying to decide whether or not I would decide to keep my baby (FYI my biggest regret for even thinking it). It’s not that I wasn’t mentally some what stable but I had just felt like I was get my life back on track. I had just paid off student debt and was registered to go back to college after taking almost two years off. My boyfriend of6 years had just proposed and my mom was so excited to plan a big wedding, she was so excited to the point where she was planning the wedding a couple weeks before he had actually proposed.
The day we decided to keep the baby was the day we decided to keep the secret from our families just a while longer. The only person who new was my husband and my sister. The only reason we decided to keep it a secret from our parents for a while longer was because a month back I had surprised my husband with tickets for a cruise so we wanted to enjoy one last vacation before we would tell our family and friends. So we decided to tell them the day we came back from our cruise, I had my sister order shirts for my mom and day saying “Promoted to grandma” and “Promoted to grandpa” and what we did was I had also bought everything them a shirt from Cozumel so I place it behind the Cozumel shirt so that when they would unfold the shirt they would she the announcement shirt. I recorded my parents reaction and it will be some thing I will forever cherish. My mom cried of joy and well my dad was secretly excited but had my husband go buy a pregnancy test and made me take it there at their house because he didn’t believe me.
We did decide to surprise my family only with the shirts because this was there first grand baby so they were more excited then my in-laws who did have grand kids already. I am extremely happy with the choice I made and I am really excited to let you in on the crazy journey it has been so far.
