Finding out the big news!

I keep meaning to update the blog especially about my Pregnancy! But I have zero pictures and more than half the fun of blogs are seeing pictures but I decided that i need to just do it before it get to be too late and I forget about half the things i want to blog about and pictures will just have to come after they are taken. 

First and foremost.  I am pregnant! My due date is May 4th and we are having a baby BOY and could not be more excited!  We had decided to grow our little family when Kevin first got his new job.  Originally the plan was to move to Elko for a year and give Kevin the chance to get into Dental school and then leave on our next journey but it's starting to look more and more like this is where we'll end up.  We have loved elko and my husband has loved his job.  Funny how things work out! Anyway we figured that a year out of school with a good job and good benefits would be the perfect time to have a baby!

I was so nervous, pretty much all ive ever wanted is to be a mom and i was most scared that we would try and try and try to have kids and it wouldn't happen or it would take forever and that scared me. a lot.  Thankfully we had zero trouble and I got pregnant right away.  I do know how much of a blessing that is and I am so grateful for that, I can't imagine the struggle that couples and families go through who desire nothing else but to have a family and just cant. 

In late August I had my period, or so i thought.  It was just spotting and i thought it was a little unusual that it was so light but figured I wasn't pregnant and I didn't want to get my hopes up. But I read in one of my pregnancy books that it is very common so I convinced Kevin that we needed to go get a pregnancy test. Unfortunately we decided to go to walmart which is always the busiest place in elko plus we had to return something and customer service took FOREVER! {I was slightly anxious}. I read the directions for the test in the car and when we finally got home I peed on the stick.  I knew that waiting for those three minutes would feel like forever and I was so scared that it would tell me I wasn't pregnant Kevin had the video camera out and ready to read the big news and surprisingly it only took a few seconds before that magical word popped up on the little window! I just started to laugh and then started to cry I was so excited and couldn't believe what was happening! We were just so thrilled by the good news. 

Immediately afterwards we called our families to share the good news and they were all very excited for us as well.  At the time I had just started a new semester of school after deciding that I was going to go back and try to at least get my Associates degree while we were in Elko.  Little did I know that it wouldn't last long.

Since I have taken forever to update on this exciting event I think I'll break it up into different posts so that its not so daunting and easier for me to find something if I want to look back someday.  So until next post!
