Big News!!

Our family has some exciting news!! I am PREGNANT!!! Hooray! It seemed like we tried forever, but now that I'm pregnant we realize that now is the perfect timing. Isn't is crazy how it always seems to work out that way. We tend to want things now, but the Lord knows what is best for us and does things on his timetable. Anyways, we are really excited, of course!! I am due December 26th, so we will have a little Christmas gift! I just had my 10 week checkup and they did an ultrasound, so it was awesome to see the little heart beating. Of course I just want a healthy little baby, but I'll be honest and tell you that I'm really hoping for a girl!! We will find out the first part of August, so I'll keep ya posted!!

I feel like a first timer again though because I will be having this baby in a hospital, WITH an epidural, so I really don't know what to expect having not experienced that before. But, from what I hear I don't have anything to worry about, just lots to look forward to, like a pretty painless delivery!! Woohoo!! Anyways, I just wanted to share our exciting news will everyone!
