Busy, Busy!!

Let me start off by saying that the very first post on this blog was originally posted approximately 4 weeks ago, not on July 11th. I accidentally erased everything and was ready to throw my hands up in the air. My awesome sister, Jamie, was able to recover that post and get it back up.
SO, now back to today's blog:) We've been quite busy the past few weeks! We threw a baby shower for our dear friends KeithAnn and Rob, who will be welcoming their little one in just a few weeks. Fun was had by all...except for sprout, who thought it was perfect timing to bring on the nausea for mommy:(

The next weekend, Jay and I spent a couple of days in Wrightsville Beach, NC. We had a wonderful time and got in some much needed relaxation

Recently, we were able to go home to Rochester for a couple of days and share our exciting news with our families... the reactions were great, everybody was very happy, some even cried... with happiness, of course:) Gina and Elise were also home so we were able to get in lots of cuddles and quality time together

The buttons say "MOM TO BE" and "DAD TO BE"

And lastly, we figured we should start documenting my growing belly. This picture was taken when we first found out we were going to have a baby... only 5 weeks pregnant:)

I'm going to end this post before I somehow delete everything, my computer shuts off, or I fall asleep. More to come soon:)

We are very happy to announce...

THAT OUR FAMILY IS GROWING!

As many of you know, Jay and I have been hoping for a baby since he returned home from Afghanistan. We have been fielding... or rather dodging lots of questions about when we were going to have a baby, and why haven't we gotten pregnant yet. Each time, we get a little more frustrated, wondering those things ourselves. So just last night, for no reason at all really, I took an at home pregnancy test. As you can see, we were shocked, and took 3 more test to confirm. We are still in shock, but we could not be happier than we are at this very moment. We can't wait to share the news with everybody!
