This huge surprise has been hard on Rufino and I, to say the least. It was not expected and definitely not in our near future plans. I think I came to terms with it pretty well since I have always wanted kids, well let me rephrase that, I wanted babies and kids I just didn't ever want to be pregnant... Rufino on the other hand has sometimes said he wanted to have kids but most of the time he would tell me he never wanted kids. Our compromise was that if we didn't have kids I wanted to travel. That being said, when I told him I was pregnant he didn't act like one of those guys in the movies that is overly excited. Rufino doesn't handle change or stress very well, which is why we work so well together, because I do. I doubt most guys are every REALLY ready to be a dad, so I can understand why this was a lot for him to take in. On top of this new stress added to his life, he got VERY sick. He even stayed home from work one day and slept from 2pm until 2 am. Let's just say I avoided him a lot last week because he was grouchy.
Anyways, so today he started feeling better and it totally made his attitude about everything better! We had such a good day together. It is crazy how much I missed him even though we live in the same house. Today was the best day we have had in weeks and it wasn't like we really did anything super special. I went to school with him at 7:30am, and hung out in the computer lab looking up how to tell on early sonograms if the baby is a boy or girl (it is all about the nub). So his class got out and 9:20 and we decide we want Red Robin, but of course they don't open until 11am so we went grocery shopping. While grocery shopping we picked up our first baby item (I will explain it later). So we finish grocery shopping and we still have time to kill so we go to the bank so that I can have a debit card connected to Rufino's bank account. We STILL have about 20 minutes to wait so we walk around the little strip mall and Red Robin finally opens. Everything tasted SO amazing, I pretty much could have drank the ranch, but I guzzled strawberry lemonade instead :o) While at lunch I asked Rufino if he was really set on Dominic, and he told me that he was just doing it to give me a hard time. OH THE RELIEF! I like the name Dominic, but I wouldn't dare name the baby that (if it is a boy) unless he promised not to to call him Dom. But even though I am relieved it makes it a little more stressful because know I have to figure out a boy name, such a huge decision!
So after lunch we head to Rufino's parent's house to give his mom her birthday presents. We got her some pretty flowers and a onesie that says "I have the best Grandma". We did this because Rufino STILL hadn't told his parents, or really anyone besides his brother, so I thought this was a cute idea to tell his mom. Well, she didn't quite get it at first, but after I told her that it was a clue, she got excited and said "YOU'RE PREGNANT?!?!" Rufino's dad was really excited too. I don't know what he was scared for. I am just glad they are close by so when the baby is here and I need a nap or something I can sleep at their house while they entertain it.
Although we didn't do anything crazy or go anywhere really special it was such a good day. I felt so loved and it made me excited to feel like he was finally on board with this next step in our life. I just love him so much and I couldn't imagine my life without him. Now we just have to wait 9 days for the first OB appointment!
