In the beginning...

"Enjoy them while you can.. they grow up so fast." How many of us have heard that only a million times since having children? Well, that statement in itself is the reason this blog has been created. A dear and wonderful friend of mine has a blog where she write of things that are going on in her life but mainly she started her blog to document all the fun things her daughter has done. How smart was she!! I should have started this blog when I was pregnant with my daughter but I'll just blame the "pregnancy brain" on that one! She will be 4 months very soon so I have some catching up to do. Guess I better get started, so here we go..

Brent and I had talked about starting our family January 2010 but little did we know that our family was already started. We went to visit my parents on January 31st. It takes 45 minutes to a hour to get to their house from ours. I had a tendency of taking my Kindle with me on the trip since I love to read and what better time right? Well, On the way home I finally just had to turn the Kindle off because it seemed like everytime I tried to read I got so nauseous. Now, reading in the car has never been something to bother me so I knew something was up. I got to thinking about how I hadn't started my period yet.  Luckily, the last time I made my trip to Wal-mart I picked up some pregnancy test for future use so I thought.. "why not?" and needless to say.. it was POSITIVE. I remember standing there with so many emotions running through me thinking "oh Lord.. Brent is going to flip out!!" hahaha Even though we had talked about it your never really sure if its the right thing or the right time so telling him was nerve racking for me. Brent was outside doing whatever it is men do and I decided I couldn't wait to tell him. I went outside and told him I thought he should come in and have a sit. :)   Nothing clever came to mind like I always imagined when I day dreamed of telling him one day that we would be expecting so I just blurted "i'm pregnant" and anxiously waited for his reaction. He very calmly said "hmmm.. I see.. well, I'm gonna need some proof of that" LOL only my husband!! I showed him the test and told him that I planned on taking another one the next morning since I always heard that your hormones are higher in the morning. The next mornings test read positive as well as the blood test the next day. I think we got the message very clear from all those tests. That message would be.. READY OR NOT.. HERE I COME!!
