I love you so much.

I can't wait to come home and see you.

And that's when I also realized like, holy shit, my husband is genuinely going to be so even more shocked now.

Like me adding that little sprinkle, that little dash of like, oh, your girl got her period.

Now there is like zero percentage that Matt in his brain is coming home to a pregnancy announcement.

So here's what I did.

I cooked Matt and I our favorite meal that I make.

And by favorite meal that I make, I mean the one thing that I know how to make, which is like taco bowls.

I lit candles.

I put a little bit of music on.

I poured us both a drink, which really I knew would throw him off even more.

And when he got home.

I told him I had a little gift for him, which technically isn't really like out of the ordinary.

Matt and I, typically, if one of us is traveling, we do a little something for the other when they come home.

And so I sat him down and I said, OK, put your hands out, both of them, and close your eyes.

And he's like, what is this?

Like, what is happening?

And I was like, I hope you like it because it is non-refundable.

And so he put both of his hands out, he closed his eyes, and I placed the pregnancy test in his hands.

And when he opened his eyes, they immediately filled with tears.
