The week before we knew . . .

Dad and I were planning a trip down to Sandusky to go to Cedar Pointe.  My dad had bought us tickets and paid for our hotel room.  Your grandpa really liked your dad, I'm sure both your grandparents knew we were destined to get married.  I digress.  We drove down to Sandusky and the whole way there it rained.  It rained and rained and rained.  And not just sprinkling but full on downpour!  We had planned a whole weekend of Cedar Pointe so we decided to wait and see if the rain let up.  Well it didn't every time we drove toward the park it rained.

 What we did instead was visit your great-grandmother and shopped.  We ate out and drank like fishies and smoked lots of cigarettes (yes I wasn't always a saint my child) and we swam in the pool and sat in the hot tub (yes one day you'll read this and wonder if we were purposely trying to destroy you.)  I remember consuming an outrageous amount of food that weekend.  It really surprised both me and your father.  See I used to eat only once a day, really fast and the likes.  But that weekend, I ate a full sausage, biscuits and gravy breakfast with ham and hash browns at Cracker-Barrel and then went to Bob Evans with your great grandmother and had a soup and salad, less than an hour later.  I mean I was licking plates!  As a side note your Great-grandmother H loves cornmush!

 So what's coming next is going to freak you out a bit but eventually you may appreciate it!

 Well I'm a very to the tee kind of person, I've rarely been "late."  So I was a week late, and I knew something was wrong.  So the night before we found out your dad and I scoured the internet trying to find out what was wrong with me.  The conversation went like this:

 Dad: maybe you're pregnant.

Me:  I'm cramping there's no way I'm pregnant!

Dad: are you eating a lot? 

Me: I practically inhaled food last weekend

Dad: are you peeing a lot?

Me: yes

Dad: do your boobs hurt?

Me: a little

Dad: is your period late?

Me: very funny

Dad: you’re pregnant

Me:  I am not!  Maybe you gave me a STD

 

Needless to say the next day would provide me with the biggest, best surprise I've ever gotten in my WHOLE entire life!
