How the hell did that come about?
Seriously... please describe in detail. If enough detail is added, I will either congratulate you or laugh at you.
Ok, I'll lay down the timeline for ya. It was actually sort of a mental roller coaster.
Well, as you may or may not know, we went to Denver to watch a Slightly Stoopid/Stephen Marley/Snoop Dogg concert at Red Rocks on the 15th. Shiloh, my fiance, normally starts her "cycle" on the 15th of each month.
Anyway, we get to Denver, we get off the plane and head to Enterprise to pick up our rental. Then I get a phone call from my mom to tell me that my Grandma has passed away. Talk about a reality check, it was a very sobering moment. My Grandma was an awesome person and completely self-less and FULL of love. At this point, we are scheduled to be in Denver till Sunday night. I spend the next hour or so figuring out what the appropriate response was. I came to the conclusion that my Grandma would want me to enjoy the concert and to have a good time. So I decided to try not to think about it and enjoy myself that day.
The next day I booked a ticket home on another airline since my uncompassionate, cock-smoking prick of an airline informed me that it would be a $175 fee to transfer tickets to an earlier flight and then an additional re-booking fee.
I take a flight home on Friday morning in time to make it to my Grandma's visitation on Friday night. I tell my fiance to stay in Denver as we flew out there with two of her friends who are counting on us to share transportation/hotel costs. She doesn't want to do this, but I convince her that it's all good and she doesn't need to worry about it.
I go to the funeral on Saturday where I help carry my Grandmother's casket. Then I drive back to Omaha on Sunday to pick up my fiance at the airport.
We get home Sunday night, when my fiance tells me that she did not start her "cycle" at all the entire time in Denver. I tell her to give it a couple more days and then we'll buy a test if necessary. We buy a test on Wednesday night, which comes back positive.
We spend the next day talking and considering our options. We were both pretty shocked and not sure if we were ready to be parents. But after going to plan parenthood and discussing the options, we decided that it really wasn't a decision at all.
We went to the doctor on Friday and confirmed that she is, indeed, roughly 6 weeks pregnant and the baby's due date is 3/19 (which happens to be my birthday).
So now, we are going to be parents. Like I said, it was an emotional roller coaster. I guess that's pretty much the cycle of life demonstrated in a one week period.
