Welcome

Hi everyone! I want to document all the new and exciting things that are happening in our lives (especially now that we have a little one on the way), so I decided to join the blogging world! Also, I thought this would be easier for our family and friends to keep up with what is going on.

Here is a little bit about our story: A few months ago, Josh and I decided it was time for our little family to grow. We prayed and prayed, and prayed some more. After several negative test, I began to get discouraged. One day while I was waiting on class to start, I sent Josh a text message and told him I am going to try one more test. I tried my best to wait on him to get home from work, but I was unsuccessful. I took the test... and it was Positive!! I waited the longest hour of my life for Josh to get home to tell him the good news. That had to be one of the happiest times of our lives. Of course over the next several days, the paranoia in me thought I needed to take 4 more test to make sure it was right.

I called my doctor and set up an appointment for October 7th. We had a long three weeks to keep this a secret. In my head, I still didn't believe it until Dr. Young confirmed that in fact, I was pregnant. Seeing the baby's heartbeat was one of the most exciting and emotional things we had ever been through. Our due date is May 23, 2015!

 


We were finally able to tell our family and friends and everyone was so thrilled. We have had a very exciting past few weeks and we are trying to savor every moment. We went over to Mark & Jennifer's house to take our announcement picture. This was a little more complicated than we expected, but I think it turned out great!


Thank you for reading our blog! I may not have much to write about until we have our appointments, but I will keep y'all up to date. :)
