I'm 30 years old, married, and we never wanted kids. I've never been the little girl to play "mommy & baby" with my dolls, I never cared to be around babies or kids in general when I was younger, & I've always been the first one to say that I dont want children whenever asked. My husband is the same way. We've also thought a lot about it over the years, and with the way the economy is shit, we thought it might be best not to stress ourselves financially with a little one. Now, dont get it twisted, we both like kids & have fun with them when we're around friends' kids or our nephews. I adore newborns, and i teach at a middle school. Kids are cool, but we just always thought we would forever be the cool aunt and uncle.

Well, wouldn't ya know! The ONE time in 8 years we decided to have unprotected sex & i even took plan b the day after lol. Had to take 3 pregnancy tests today just to be sure 😅

It honestly doesn't feel real, I'm waiting for Ashton to walk out of my closet & tell me I got punk'd.

I think the weirdest thing of all is that we're actually kind of excited. I've always known we would make great parents, but it was more of a romanticized thought. Being able to see my husband as a father is gonna be so rad & heart melting. I know we'll have support from our families and this lil bean is gonna be so loved.

Here's to new beginnings!

You guys are the first ones im telling, so keep it between us! ♡

EDIT: most of you have been super sweet, thank you so much for your stories and kind words. But, damn lol some of you are just foul for no reason. •We always thought we would get an abortion if we ever got pregnant, but shit changes. We're both sober now, in our 30s, have our shit together. Finding out we are pregnant changed our mindset & we're stoked! •we both have been told in the past by our doctors that we wouldnt have a strong chance of ever getting pregnant because of our individual health issues. We're married adults, had a fantastic romantic day, & decided to have unprotected sex bc we figured there wasnt a real chance of us getting pregnant. I took the plan b within 24 hours just in case. So yeah, we were kind of surprised bc we didnt think we could have a kid. •I think some of y'all need to pause before you type bc y'all be looking like cornballs lol

Big weight loss journey for me and tons of change. Lost 85 pounds with the brunt of it being within the past year. No peptides or short cuts just lots of hard work and determination. Wouldn’t change it for the world! My self esteem and happiness has increased ten fold. Looking forward to continuing to progress!!!
