Guess What??!!

Soooooooo.....wasn't something that I was expecting.  Well, it could have happened, but I wasn't expecting it to happen so soon...

You guessed it, I'm PREGGO!


Yep, we're having a little baby.  What made me test in the first place you ask?? Here's why:


For the past week, I hadn't been feeling like myself.  I was dizzy, really tired and this is probably TMI but I couldn't stop going No. 2....I know, TMI!  To put the icing on the cake, I had 2 very vivid dreams that were so real, and I know that could be a sign of the big fat P!  


On Thursday, February 4, I decided to take a test....it was a BIG FAT POSITIVE!  It was a faint line, but, it was still a positive.  I wasn't convinced, so, I decided to take another test of another brand and what do you know, that one was positive too!  I was going to wait to tell my husband on Valentine's Day since it was coming up but I couldn't wait that long!! When he came in from the store, I told him to come upstairs because I had to talk to him about something.  He gave me his daily kiss and asked what I wanted to talk about.  I pulled the test from behind my back and his response was "OMG, you're pregnant!"  I laughed and we hugged and kissed and all that lovey dovey stuff.  


Then, I thought back to Monday before I found out, in which I had just consumed a bottle and a half of wine with my best friend, lol!  I'm sure I wasn't pregnant then...right??


Anywho, we're so excited for this journey we are about to experience into parenthood.  I couldn't imagine doing it with anyone else besides my wonderful husband! 
Sorry it's sideways!

Who is this chick??

Hello!!  My name is Crystal and I'm the blogger behind The Posh Files!
I am a Speech Language Pathologist by day at a school and pretty much a couch potato at night.  I love photography but I'm not really good at it, haha!  I am obsessed with my dog Spartacus...the cutest Miniature Schnauzer you will ever meet.  I was born and raised in Illinois, the suburbs right outside Chicago, and been here my whole life.  On September 19, 2015, I got married to the love of my life AJ.  We have a pretty interesting story as he was my co-teaching partner (he's a Special Education Teacher) and that's how we met!  Life just took over after that!  I love to travel and have been to Jamaica twice, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Mexico...as well as more domestic places.  If it was up to me, I'd be in a new place every week.  I also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to eat and am pretty adventurous.  I'll try anything at least once.  Not only am I an adventurous eater, I'm a pretty adventurous person.  I don't like a lot of down time and am always up for a challenge.  I've been sky diving, zip lining, cliff diving, snorkeling, dune buggying, ATVing...among other things!
