Wanted to share with you all how I broke the news that we were expecting to Matt. I knew the way to his heart was through golf. So, I woke up at my standard 5:00 am to go to the gym. I was a little late, and had bought like a million pregnancy tests so I figure, what the hell, see what happens. And it happened. I had to do a triple take and make sure I wasn't just seeing things that early in the morning. Yep, confirmed. A + sign. I wasn't expecting it, so I had no idea what to do with the news. Matt was sound asleep and I wanted to make sure it wasn't bogus, so I went and worked out.
When I came home, he had already left for work. So I took another test to confirm. Another +. So I took another. + again. Okay, I'm finally starting to believe this is legit. So I started brainstorming ways to tell him the news.
I texted him later that morning after I had my plan all set, asking him to go to Westmoor for pasta night (our fav!) and play a few holes of golf before. He had no objections.
I had already given 3 golf balls - a pink labeled 'girl?', a blue labeled 'boy?' and a white labeled 'Baby Burkert, EDA 4/22/12' - to the pro who kindly placed them into the cup on the first hole just before we teed off. By the way, I was way off on the due date, lol. I forgot how to calculate it!! :)
I could hardly contain my excitement (and therefore, could barely hit the ball) and just wanted to get to the green. Once we did, I just picked up my ball (so I could document). Matt putted his ball and was confused to find all these balls left in the cup. I said, 'well, why don't you just grab them.' And boy, was he surprised with what he found! I think he said 'oh my God, are you serious?!' about 5 times!
Needless to say, we are very excited for the arrival of our little one!
