The Reactions. Are they normal???



My husband and I were trying to get pregnant and didn’t realize that it would happen so quickly for us, i.e. exactly one month after trying. The first thing that alerted me that I might be pregnant was the fact that I was experiencing menstrual cramps minus the flow, and I was late. I am never late! So off to the drugstore I went get a pregnancy test. We took the test first thing the next morning and the test not only showed that I was pregnant, but 5weeks along.

“Wow! So quickly!” was all that I could think.  I called my hubby into the bathroom to show him the results. He was excited and gave me a high five. A high five?  Really? Ok then.
So next I told my immediate family members. My mom & sis were all worried about me getting morning sickness, while my dad was congratulating my husband on the fact that his ‘swimmers’ were working.  “Why dad, why?” was all that I could say.

Then I told my girlfriends who have children. Both women reacted in the same manner; they gave me a bounce. What the hell! Are these natural reactions or are my friends crazy? How did your friends and family react to your pregnancy news?

Firecracker vocabulary:
A bounce – fist pound


Add a spark to your world!
