{MAY 17th} The Day We Changed Forever OR Shane Losses It!

So.....Yesterday was the first day that we found out we were expecting a miracle! A tiny sweet little bundle of joy.  Part Shane. Part me.  But.....That's not how we felt the minute we saw the test!  I had been feeling different for a couple of days and was about 2 days late on my period and wondered but, didn't think anything of it.  Then around 12:30pm on May 17th I KNEW! Because I saw 2 pink lines? NOPE. Because as I was driving home & feeling like a million bucks I suddenly had to pull over and toss my cookies! That's odd...to say the least.  So I went to the store bought a test and, I was right.  This came as quite a shock to us both but, I have to say, Shane broke down.  He suddenly started thinking about how unprepared we were (as every parent to be does) and just kept muttering this mantra..."no way, no way, no way, ...really? no way".  I decided to let him be alone to let it digest as it was FREAKING ME OUT TOO!

After a while(about 8 hours) he came around and began to get SUPER EXCITED about it all.  There have been on-and off tears of joy for almost 2 days now.  We couldn't be happier.  I am about 4 weeks pregnant and if all goes well (another huge fear of mine; that t won't) we will meet our son or daughter somewhere around January 19th 2012! After Shane calculated that he came upstairs and said, "Think how good of a birthday that will be for our son's hockey career!" haaaa! Just like Shane to say! We are so ecstatic and hope you are too!


About the title,Hynes Sight's 20/20:
I am using this too look back on it and learn about how my body reacts to pregnancy so all of this info will one day be in "Hindsight" so, that part is really just a play on words using our last name. and the 20/20 part marks the 1/2 way point in my pregnancy of 40 weeks. 


So to recap, the phrase Hindsight's 20/20 means that you can look in the past (hindsight) and see what you did wrong. Perfect vision is 20/20. So as you look back, you're able to see "perfectly" what you should have done.  That is my goal for this blog.


More to come!-Lew
