Finally....

Its been a long journey to get here but Jim and I are happy to FINALLY let everyone know:

we are expecting our first child (Boy or girl?) in Early May!

I have been chomping at the bit to write this post but waited until Jim felt comfortable enough with the whole process. With him things can take awhile. Hence us being married 6 1/2 years before this announcement could be made :) He always joked that it would be 5 years before we even talked about kids and I always thought yea right, 2-3 at the most. Well well well who would have thought Jim was right  (see I can say it)! We started talking about it a year and a half ago, and had some issues once we decided yes we were actually ready to be parents. So fast forward another year and a half after our first discussion and here we are at 13 weeks, 5 days!

Some things to note thus far about my pregnancy:

I found out I was pregnant on August 23rd (day 13).

I woke Jim up from a dead sleep to tell him. His reaction was priceless.

We told our family and closest friends that same day.

The first trimester was not fun.

I have been nauseous and tired since day 3 of my pregnancy.

So far we have had 3 ultra sounds and baby is looking and sounding great!

S/he has a heart rate of 156

The second trimester seems to be going a little better...more energy, less nausea.

Good, solid, sleep has been hard to come by for the past month or so.

We could not be more thrilled to say that we are FINALLY going to be parents!!!
