Evi's Birth Story ~ Part 1

We found out we were expecting a baby exactly 7 days before my 28th Birthday! 
It was mostly an accident that I even took the test! I had one from when we thought we might be pregnant around 6 months before that! I thought- Oh hey- thats just sitting there, I'll pee on it! And then.... it was positive! WHAT???? So I took another! and another.... and another! Hahahaha! We knew by that night ( and 5 tests later ) that it was really happening! I managed to keep it under wraps for a few days. I took Mom out to lunch about 3 days before my birthday- and presented her with a gift. A box with a locket- and colored tiny baby rattles inside. Inside the locket was a note saying, " You're going to be a Grandma!" She was so excited she started crying at the restaurant! We were having mexican food, I remember that. Dad came up to the sign shop after we got back from lunch- and I had meant to make him a t-shirt that said, "Worlds Best Grandpa", but Mom was getting ready to POP with excitement so I let her show him the locket and box  I had gotten her. It took him a minute- but he understood and was all smiles and Congratulations! We went to The Dr. and got the official "positive" and saw how far along we were a little while after that. 8 weeks and one day! Our little Jelly Bean Peanut was on its way! About 2 days after my Birthday, I got sooo sick. I was unbelievably nauseous all day every day. The Dr. was able to give me an Rx for it- but it made me crazy sleepy! And then came the hormones! Poor Sebastian had to deal with me crying quite a bit!




 
Here's all of us at the pottery painting place we went to for my Birthday.

And so- life continued on through the spring. The first nice day we'd had in a while coincidently happened on the same day as ColorFest. It has gotten pretty big here in Utah, many thousands of people coming! 


And then finally getting the tiniest of bumps!

But still feeling Mostly like I was just over eating and chubby instead of preggers!
Here's a month or two later on!

Lets see, that would have been around... July I think. 
And now one of the last ones before things got Super Exciting! Probably in... September I think.
