The day before I found out I was pregnant, my mom and sister took a vacation with two of my cousins, my neice and nina to visit my tia in Florida. Part of me wanted to wait for my mom to get home because I knew that if I told her over the phone she'd tell everyone there. But then I thought it about it a little more. My sister Elena is like my best friend, my cousins Monica and Elisa are like my sisters, and my Tia Vicki and Nina Laura (I call her Nina Mommy) are like accessory mothers to me. Why the hell shouldn't they know? I want them all to be part of the journey with me - I need them.
I told my mom Friday afternoon while she and the rest were at Epcot. I remember her being completely shocked, my sister thinking I was kidding and hearing my Tia Vicki in the background hysterically laughing and then saying "She's keeping it? Well then let's celebrate!".
Though I couldn't imagine being away from Sebastian at the time, I wanted SO badly to be there with him. My sister started crying while on the phone with me and told me "Jessica, I know you're going to get stressed out about everything but don't worry. Everything will be okay, I promise." And you know what, I believe her with all my heart; and a lot of it has to do with knowing that I got a support team of amazing women to help me with whatever I need.
And I mean whatever ;)
Tonight me and my bro-in-law, Daniel, are going to be picking up my mom and sister and I'll be getting to see my Nina Mommy, Monica and Elisa. All I'm looking forward to are those big, booby-cushioned hugs your can only get from your closest women.
