We are Pregnant!!

Surprise! I’m pregnant, it still feels so shocking and crazy to say that, but it’s true. I hadn’t mentioned it on my blog yet. But I’ve shared a couple of posts on my YouTube and Instagram and I’ll recap some of those in this post…so bear with me this may be long! Check out this video to see our announcement.

We found out we were pregnant in November of last year (2019). Alonso and I had been tryingt to get pregnant, but it took longer than expected. We approximately tried about 2+ years. However, we stopped stressing and worrying about it when I began coaching soccer. If you didn’t know I coached soccer for the 2018 and 2019 fall seasons. I wasn’t going to coach in 2019 but I was fortunate to have the help of one of my friends to balance the workload. Because I had her as an assistant it made the season so much less stressful and way more fun. The girls were doing amazing and that was all that was on my mind. I wanted them to have an amazing last season with me. I had totally forgot I was even supposed to get a period, and during this time, my phone broke. I never re-downloaded the period tracker app so I figured it just wasn’t my time if the month yet. I didn’t have any symptoms besides now looking back. We went to Canada at the end of October and when we are on vacation we rarely eat three full meals. Mostly a brunch and dinner but when we were in Canada I was so tired and we ate all three meals every day we were there lol. That must’ve been a sign but I had no clue.

It wasn’t until my boyfriend asked me if I had started my period yet that got me thinking oh let me check. I downloaded the app and my “estimated” period start date had passed almost a whole week. I was supposed to have started in Canada (a week before) lol. I still didn’t think much of it because I didn’t want to get my hopes up. I figured I would start my period the next day. I had one pregnancy test left and I took it. To my disbelief, it had the two lines. I was shocked and couldn’t believe it so I went to work and picked up more tests. I took them and they sure enough said PREGNANT!

I was going to tell Alonso that day, but fail he never opened the drawer where I had the pregnancy tests to surprise him haha. I originally had told him I had started my period so he wouldn’t suspect a thing. We had some brand content to shoot the next day so I figured I would take the tests with me and put them in a little bag. If I made it a cute gift surprise he would’ve known, and I honestly wanted him to be surprised just like I was! If you want to see his reaction, check out this video! He turned red and thought I was showing him “failed” pregnancy tests lol. He couldn’t believe it, I mean we both couldn’t. After I stopped filming it he was so in shock, excited, and I could tell inside he was crying. He doesn’t show his emotion much but he’s way over the moon with the opportunity to finally be a dad. I love it!

I would explain everyone’s reaction but it’s probably faster to just watch the video, here! Everyone was so shocked, ECSTATIC, and even emotional. My dad’s reaction is the cutest and most sentimental one. He was so excited and even wanted to buy me maternity clothes for Christmas lol. I swear I have the cutest dad and I’m so grateful and blessed to be his little girl forever.

So I hope this post wasn’t THAT long. I tried to make it quick and short to announce our little one here. I have a couple of posts to share next. I have uploading a couple of videos on my YouTube channel: First Trimester recap, Gender Predictions, and Pregnancy Night Routine.

For those of you who have showed us so much love, thank you! We really appreciate all the blessings and happy thoughts you send our way. We are so thankful for our little bundle of joy.
