On a bright, sunny winter morning you wake up and as you stretch your arms up to the sun, you suddenly jump out of bed and run to the bathroom. Nauseated, you wait by the throne for the moment to pass. It must have been the oysters from the night before because the feeling stays with you all day.

By lunch time, you are feeling better, but you do not want to push your luck so you opt for a calming bowl of broccoli and cheese soup. Unfortunately, your stomach did not agree with the soup and you find yourself repeating the performance from the morning.

About a week goes by of the sickly feeling in your stomach you visit your doctor. After a few routine tests, she leaves the room and when she returns there is a smile on her face. You are glad she does not look uneasy, it must not be anything serious.

The three little words that fall out of her mouth must be English, but you just can quite understand them You – Are – Pregnant.

You are shocked. You were not planning on having a baby so soon. Of course, it makes perfect sense. Why did you not see it before? What are you going to do now? How will you tell your husband? Will he be happy? Will he be mad? Questions flood your mind and your pulse is racing.

All the while, the doctor has been talking to you – something about making an appointment with your obstetrician, getting plenty of rest for you and the baby and starting a vitamin. The room is still fuzzy.

That evening your husband takes you out for dinner. You are wondering if you should tell him now or wait until later. You want to blurt it out and let someone know, but it still seems so surreal that you are not sure how to say it. As dinner progresses, he comments that you have not touched your favorite glass of wine.

Here is it, the perfect moment to say it out loud, Honey, we are having a baby . You clam up and find yourself just passing it off with a shrug. After dinner, he takes the long way home – unusual for him. He begins to say something about what he has been thinking.

He is happy with his life and wants to share it with others. He wants to start building a family and thinks it is time to try to have a baby soon. He wants to know your thoughts.

As you start crying, he is unsure why. Finally, you say it out loud, Honey, we are having a baby . At first he just replies how happy he is that you agree. Then he stops dead in his tracks, his face goes pale and he realizes that you were not agreeing with him, you were telling him that you are pregnant.

Overjoyed he laughs and says he could not be happier. Although the feeling of nausea has not gone away, you notice it a little less as you daydream about the tiny bundle of joy in your womb. Will it be a girl or a boy? Will he or she look like you or more like your husband? The excitement escalates for the next 9 months as you prepare your home and decorate a nursery.
