Ok so I won't go ALL the way to the beginning as Baroness Von Trapp says, birds and bees story will be left alone, but I will give a brief detail on how the thought of bean came to be...
As many know I came home for a short family va-ca this summer for another Foytich wedding. When I say short I do mean short, a quick 10 day stop to good 'ol Indiana. Giles unfortunately was not able to come as
A. Airfare was flippin' ridiculous. Thanks to America's 4th of July and England's Queen Elizabeth's Jubilee along with the 2012 Olympics you can imagine airlines taking a nice chunk of many passengers summer holiday money. And
B. Here at the hotel we were extremely booked, and we can't really complain about that, can we?
So I came home for Taylor and Amanda's wedding whilst Giles stayed and looked after the hotel (ok I'm rambling...I'll stop that)
Whilst spending a good chunk of my time with Taylor and Amanda's friends one could say I might have become a bit broody. Though I wasn't around the little ones we did discuss them a lot, and I even learned in the parking lot of a Walgreen's by another fellow bridesmaid on how I could pin point the exact date I was ovulating. Needless to say babies were discussed, and babies were on my mind. Once the wedding celebrations were over I then threw a 3rd of July party at my parent's house where I was then surrounded by my friend's and their little ones. So about a day before I was to head back to England Giles and I were skyping and our last conversation consisted roughly of this....
Me: "Giles I think I'm broody and I think we should have a kid"
Giles: "Ok"
Me: "I think we are ready and maybe we should just give it a try... I mean we don't know how long it could take, right?"
Giles: "Alright, well we can talk about it when you get it back"
Me: "Ok"
I think Giles' short responses were due to the fact that I caught him completely off guard. One minute I'm talking about Taylor being thrown in the air by a group of his friends during the song "You Make Me Wanna SHOUT" and barely missing hitting the chandelier at the wedding and baby pools full of my high school friends at 2 in the morning and then straight to us starting a family.
So to make things short we didn't really talk about it when I got home, but then again it had been a long ten days apart, if you know what I mean.
About 4 days after not being the most careful I say to Giles...
Me: "Ok I think that was just a phase"
Giles: "Alright"
And then about a month later we realize it's gonna be a a lonnnnng phase.
The photos above are obviously the pregnancy tests. The picture of the first one is from the pound shop. Not sure of what a pound shop is? Well it's equivalent to a Dollar Store, or Dollar Tree. So clearly when that one came up positive I wasn't going to take it's word for it so Giles and I bought 4 more at the store just up the street. This was about 10 pm at night and I was in my pajamas. Giles is usually extremely embarrassed about me threatening to go to the store in my pajamas or my fedora and wellington boots but hey I wore my PJs at IU ALL THE TIME, but in this instance my pajamas were never mentioned. And we came home and I took three more tests and believe it or not, all came up positive.
So Bean and Bean's followers, there ya go. The very "brief" story on how you came to be.
