So I have always been really excited about birthdays and

datesand normally do a really good job of remembering

things of that importance (Sorry Tractor I didn't call

you on you Birthday!!Auntie Cate loves you) so what

is the special occasion today

you might ask.....well I am six weeks pregnant!

Mine and Kyler babies arms legs and face are all starting

to develop this week!! thatis reason enough to blog about!!

I promise every Thursday you will not be getting a weekly

updates but here are

the milestones I am going to be looking forward too in the

next 34 weeks.

December 4: First ultrasound

New Years Eve: I begin the second trimester

Valentines: We find out if we are having a little girl or little boy

(we both think it is a boy)

April 15 Tax day: I will begin the third trimester

The week of the 4th of July : Our baby is due

I was thumbing threw my old pictures and I came across this

one of me on mine and Candi 20th birthday....It is not only

funny because the two and zero are backwards but I honestly

look so excited..haha

The second exciting thing is For the first time in my whole

entire life my hair is longer then Candi....by like a quarter

of an inch!! I am so thrilled I never thought I would see

the day! On a side note look how white her chompers truly

are she is going to make such a beautiful/hott

dental hygienist!!

Part One: Finding Out I was Expecting

 October 25, 2009 just before 6:00 A.M. is when my life "would truly never be the same" I had been taking pregnancy test for months now and was always irritated how quickly one solo pink line would appear,it never took more than a few seconds for a test to decide that my dreams of becoming a mother would not yet be realized.
It was late October and for the first time since last June I was convinced that I was not pregnant but, Kyler thought otherwise. Apparently he noticed how much more I seemed to be eating and that I was a tad bit on the grumpy side :) So There we were on a Saturday night standing in a Walmart isle looking at pregnancy tests. We both seemed to feel a little bit awkward and out of place...but I kept on reminding myself that I was married after all. I read the back of all the boxes and decided that I wanted to try the Clear-blue test with electronic results it just seemed so much more sophisticated than all of the others...and maybe it would give us the result we had long since been anticipating. That night I couldn't sleep. I kept on dreaming about taking pregnancy test one right after another and them all coming back with negative results. I woke up early the next morning already feeling frustrated and maybe even a little discouraged. But with a determination that no matter the results, this month I would have a better attitude. Before I stepped foot in the bathroom Kyler handed me a test. I quickly grabbed it just wanting to get it over with....knowing full well that he wanted this just as badly as I did. It took a full three minutes (but felt more like ten) before the test would read any type of results. I watched the pregnancy test in my hand suspiciously as a little time clock went around and around. I held my breath while my mind was racing with thoughts like "am I??...no I am sure I am not....but what if....why do I even do this to myself"...then the little time clock stopped and I was instantly overcome with emotion it simply read pregnant.

I blinked several times making sure I had read it correctly. Tears of relief, joy and fear streamed down my face. I quickly ran out of the bathroom looking as tired as ever (ya not quite how envisioned telling my hubby) and stopped mid step and just stood their while Kyler reached for the test results knowing that it would explain what the tears running down my face meant. He instantly took a giant step towards me and pulled me into his arms and hugged me tightly. With a broad smile he said those all to familar words "Our lives will never be the same." I just stood their crying. I have never felt so blissfully happy and overwhelmed all at the same time.
From that moment on our life's really never would be the same like a young bride I was faced yet again with a new definition of myself and that was mother...I feel so young and naive but am thrilled with the what the future will hold for our for ever family in the making.

SURPRISE!!

I kept on telling myself that I need to wait to share my exciting news, but how could I honestly resist sharing somthing this incredibly wonderful (that would be so incredibly selfish?) Kyler and I are going to become parents in 35 short weeks!!! (That seems really crazy!) We are expecting our little bundle of joy on July 8, 2010 (and are counting down the minutes)

Kyler and I could not be more thrilled!! What a blessing!

I think

I am still in shock but am so excited and we are counting down the minutes

until we get to meet our baby!

When I showed kyler all he said was "our lives will never be the same."

I just cried.
