That car commercial & a baby

So, I don't know if everyone has seen the new toyota corolla commercial where the wife comes out the bathroom with her pregnancy test in hand & says "We're going to have a baby." & the husband goes to their driveway pondering what the deal's going to be with getting rid of his stylish coupe & then magically turns it into the new 4 door corolla & starts jumping for joy yelling "We're going to have a baby!" ..

well that came on tv & I laughed a bit at the thought of what my DH would do if we were in that position. He asked me what I thought was so funny & I shared with him that I doubt he'd run to our driveway & jump around yelling that. He said he'd probably not, but he'd be happy. Then he followed that up & said "Well, I mean, I guess. If we were trying, yeah. But, I don't really know. I'm not in the position to say what I'd do because I really don't know." Honest. I don't know what I'd do either.

 But this conversation leads me to wonder ... to the moms & dads out there, what were the reactions when you found out you were going to be parents?

Re: That car commercial & a baby

  • We had only been trying for a month so very surprised.  We thought it would take much longer and were shocked to say the least.  No jumping in the driveway.

  • We had been trying for about 6 months and found out on our 2 year wedding anniversary that we were expecting. We were both thrilled. No jumping up and down, but just happy and excited.

  • You can plan and TTC and be ready but it still takes your breath away to realize that you just changed your life.  I made the doctor's office tell me 3x that they were very sure that I was very pregnant - so DH heard the news by me saying things like "So, you're sure?" "Very sure." So, I am pregnant." "Very pregant. You're sure."
    My darling daughter just turned 4 years old.
  • I will admit, I always wonder what my H's reaction to that news would be.  I think it would be similar... TOTALLY freaked out but also excited.  I have a feeling we'd both be walking around our house like zombies for the next few hours... just staring off into the distance.

  • Isn't it a Nissan 370Z Coupe that he turns into a 4 door Maxima?

    I would be the guy in the situation, petting my beloved 2 door coupe if I found out I was pregnant.  However, I still would refuse to give it up.  Ill let the hubby drive the kid hauler haha!!
