On another note Wayne and I had been together for five years before having our sweet Caleb so to me I was lucky that was the case! We always talked about the day we would get married and have children it just happened sooner then we expected! Finding out we were pregnant wasn't the us being together and being super excited story. I was actually with my friends Ina and Bree when I told them I was like 5 weeks late on my period and that I might be pregnant... so right away they were like "Bri! lets go get a test!" So we went to rite aid got some tests went back to my house, as I took the tests I was shaking so bad hoping to see a negative when it was indeed positive! I admittedly started balling my eyes out, not even knowing what to think, I really just wanted my mom and sister there too but they were in Florida for basketball. So hugging my friends as I was balling my eyes out really helped me out as they helped me get through it. Then us being sad girls we all went and got Ben and Jerry's and another friend Jess came over. I was so worked up that that's when the sickness started! But thank god for good friends Bree held my hair the whole night rubbing my back :) Wayne had been with his friends too that night so I didn't want to spoil his fun so the next day I had him come over and that's when I told him, he was in shock at first then when I started crying he started crying, we just hugged each other and layed in bed for most of the day. I then called my mom balling my eyes out still (yes I looked like I hadn't gotten sleep in a week with horrible puffy eyes) but her reaction was not what I expected at all, she was SO excited! saying "Don't cry this isn't a bad thing at all" her telling me that really helped me out! So after our first baby appointment that's when both Wayne and I started to get excited about this! Something about seeing that first ultrasound completely puts a new prospective on things then as we continued to go the more excited we got! Thennn the day we found out it was a BOY! I have never seen Wayne more excited in my life, he called everyone right away and the rest of the day he had a permanent smile on his face, it was the cutest thing ever!
As all of the mixed emotions went away and all that there was, was excitement we were so ready for our little boy to be here! It was basketball season for my sister as she was a senior in high school and if anyone knows my family basketball is a big deal! So as I went on leave from work therefore I could attend all of Katelyn's playoff games, lets just say thank god for my moms seat to sit on while on the bleachers! At this point I could go at any day! As Katelyn's team kept winning we kept going to all the games till I had an appointment with my Doctor and at this point I was a week over my due date so I was very very uncomfortable, he told us that we would wait a few days because he knew how badly I wanted to go natural but that he would have to take the baby on the 1st of March if I didn't go before than! So after two long days no baby and the next day was the 1st so I knew I was going to have a c-section witch my Doctor had been warning me about the whole pregnancy because I guess the smaller you are the smaller your pelvis is. And thank god I didn't have him natural because he was 8 pounds and 21 inches long!! Witch I guess is an average size baby but I'm not very big and my torso definitely isn't 21 inches long! But that excitement that we were feeling as I was pregnant was nothing compared to Caleb's arrival! Having a c-section I couldn't do much but Wayne went everywhere with Caleb with a proud daddy smile on his face every second of the way! Having a c-section is so hard and I can't even imagine not having Wayne there! I couldn't cough laugh or anything without it killing me! Caleb didn't leave our site, we didn't want him to go into the nursery so he stayed with us witch probably wasn't so smart for Wayne because he was so worried he sat up all night watching him! As the nights went on we got better and could sleep a little bit more but it was when we finally got to go home that my mom let us get some sleep while she watched Caleb! Ahhhh sleep! That same night we had Caleb my sister and her team won their Class A Eastern Maine Championship! So overall this was a pretty awesome day for our family! :)))
Mommy & Daddy hood started for us! We were proud parents! I'll be blogging some of our experiences being new parents on a later note along with the beginning of my life as a Campbell! :))
Aww-Caleb is super lucky to have parents like you and Wayne! Just because you didnt do things the traditional way doesnt mean its not the right way! :-) I look forward to the post about baby #2 gender reveal!!
