Our Big Announcement....

Pretty sure that everyone who reads this blog already knows anyway but since this blog is also serving the purpose of a journal to document our lives, it is time for a post. I am 15 weeks pregnant and due on May 12th!!

We found out right before we took our trip to Kansas City over labor day weekend. After that we told our parents, waited a few weeks, then began telling some of our friends. It has been very exciting telling our family and friends as well as sharing in the process of dreaming/imagining what our life will be like in just a few more months. The first trimester was not very fun (I was sick a lot and tired all the time) but I do know that it could have been much worse and that it will all be worth it in the end. I am also very excited that our baby will be so close in age to Clay and Elissa's third one (due around Valentine's Day). Additionally, my cousin is due about a month after me.

Ben's parents came down and brought us Ben's old crib, a rocking horse that was handmade for Ben, and a little tricycle. Kathleen is letting us borrow her bassinet and swing. We are so thankful for all the help!

We have our early ultrasound picture and our second one is sometime around the end of December/beginning of January. We are still trying to make a finalized decision but I am pretty sure we are going to wait until the birth to find out the gender....just another added surprise.

There is so much to do before the baby comes. Right now our nursery is a big storage room for junk. Of course, I am on the internet playing instead of cleaning it out....some things never change :)
