Preggeriffic!

Yes, that's right, Matt and I are going to have a BABY!!!! Yippee! We just found out on Thursday and I just can't wait to tell EVERYONE the news! I'm still really early in my pregnancy-just 4 weeks. I wasn't actually supposed to take a pregnancy test until this Wednesday (on our 3rd wedding anniversary!) but I'm just not a patient person so I've been testing for almost a week! And now I've become completely addicted to seeing pregnancy tests turn positive! See...





I've taken many more but I won't post ALL of them!
I was so excited to tell Matt but when I got the first positive, Matt had already left for the day and of course he not only had work that day but school too! And since that's not the kind of news I wanted to just tell him over the phone, I had to wait ALL day long to tell him. And I'll admit he wasn't the first person I told, I'm a bit of an open book and am not so good with secrets! So after the first positive, I burst into tears and called my Dearest Amy! Then on my way to work, I called my doctor's office. Then when I got to work, well, um, yeah, I told EVERYONE I work with!
So I came up with the greatest way to tell Matt the news. First let me say that white birthday cake with white frosting is just about his favorite thing ever. So this is what I did...



So when Matt got home, I totally played it coy, asked him about his day and just chit chatted for a bit. Then I brought out the cake and set it on his side of the bed. This was his reaction...



Like I said, he'd had a long day and had just taken off his hat so he looks a bit rough but his facial expression is PRICELESS!

Then we had to tell our parents. I came up with idea months ago and have been so looking forward to doing it. What we did is just mailed these to our parents without giving them any warning...



My Dad's reaction was priceless! I was on the phone with him when he opened his mail. The first words out of his mouth were "You've got to be Sh@#$ing me!" He was really excited! It cracked me up!




So now we've come to the end of a long 7 month trying to conceive journey which was filled with months of fertility tests, constant blood work(I feel like a pin cushion!), loads of fun fertility drugs. Now we're at the beginning of an even longer journey called parenthood and we couldn't be more thrilled!
