Your eyes did not deceive you. You read that correctly. I know it’s hard to believe.

I wrote it and I can’t believe it.

After several doctors telling K-Bomb and I that “It’s not impossible, but it’s EXTREMELY unlikley,” we gave up thinking about ever having kids of our own. I filed it away and buried it deep.

And then K-bomb started feeling some twitches.

She had a girls weekend planned in Kansas City this past weekend with some of our BACA sisters. She wanted to know one way or the other so she knew if she could drink or not.

She took the test and it came back positive. I didn’t believe it.

She took a second test and it came back positive. I didn’t believe that one either. A third positive test while her and the ladies were in Kansas City didn’t sway me. I’d been down this road too many times. “I won’t believe it until I hear it from a doctor” I said.

Yesterday we went to the doctor and she said it was positive. And I believed.

And since we weren’t exactly sure how pregnant we were, the doctor got out a listening device and we heard our baby’s heartbeat for the first time. My eyebrows raised so fast they nearly pulled out of my skin and shot up through the roof like a Loony Tunes cartoon explosion.

Then it got real when she said we were already three months along. She set up a time for an ultrasound for the next day, which was today at 1PM. This doctor did the ultrasound and said we weren’t three months along, but closer to six months along. Our world was changing at a really brisk clip.

Crikey.

Six months is a long time, but having never been pregnant combined being told by multiple medical professionals it wasn’t gonna happen combined with never getting morning sickness… it’s really not that difficult to fathom us not knowing.

So we have a ton of work to get done in a short amount of time and we still have some unknowns we’re working with the doctors on. We have a sonogram tomorrow to get a more accurate timeframe. The little sucker wouldn’t sit still long enough to get decent measurements on.

So more info will be forthcoming, but I can tell you these two things now. 1) It’s a boy and 2) his Road Name is Six.
