I'm baaaackkkk...

So... I thought I would give this blog thing another try. When I had one a couple of years ago  I realized that there wasn't much to talk about. Being in grad school really wasn't that interesting of a topic and I needed to focus on studying rather than blogging. But NOW.. there is a lot to talk about and I'm really excited to start this back up so I can keep friends and family updated throughout my pregnancy. I will focus this first post on catching everyone up on us and I will even add some pictures.

This past December, Andrew and I realized we were expecting. The story behind how we found out is not that exciting. It's actually nothing like I always pictured it would be. I always imagined I would yell it from the roof tops or fly a banner from an airplane saying "I'm pregnant!!" But not so much...it went down more like this. I took a pregnancy test one morning because I had a weird dream about having a baby the night before. Well I got up..took it and it was negative. So I got in the shower and thought nothing of it. But somehting kept telling me to go back and look at it. So I got out of the shower and under the bathroom light I saw it... a FAINT positive line going down. I thought..humm.. is that what I think it is? So there was so much confusion on my part that I didn't kjnow if it was real or not. Well.. I went to the store and bought EVERY brand of tests that they have..EPT, Answer, Clear blue easy..you name it.. I bought it. I proceeded to take all of the tests and they all came back with the same FAINT line. Fast forwarding to Andrew getting home from work...he walks in and I just look at him and say "can you come take a look at this real quick". I bring him in the bathroom with all 8 or 9 pregnancy tests on the counter lined up and he said..well I can't  say what he said but lets just say it was along the lines of  "Oh #*$*" So he looks at them very carefully and holding them up to the light saying "I mean I don't know what I'm looking at here" haha. So that was it!! We both stood there not really knowing if it was positive or not and very confused. Wonderful story isn't it?!?

We soon called the doctor and she confirmed to us a faint line is a positive no matter what. Come to find out we were very early along and that's why it was so faint. We went in for an ultrasound at 6 weeks and there it was. A little pea with a heartbeat..woosh woosh woosh woosh. We were still in shock.

We are now 14 weeks along and settling in quite nicely with the thought of becoming parents. I think we both are just anxious for little one to get here!  Here is a pic from the 12 week 3d ultrasound that scanned for any complications. Healthy baby!! We feel so blessed and so thankful :)

Well I need to be productive for the day so I am going for now but you will be hearing lots from me over the next few months! :) Ta Ta for now!
