It's about time

Ok, so I’ve been gone for awhile, obviously. But, I swear, I have a really good reason for it. I’ve been keeping a big secret! I didn’t want to blog because I was afraid I’d spill the beans. But today I am ready!!

First, I want to start by saying that I’m no longer going to continue with the story of how my hubby, Nik, and I met, fell in love, got married, etc. I’m too excited about the future to keep writing about the past. So, for now, just know that we had a crazy 2 years of planning the wedding, an awesome day/night of the actual wedding, a great honeymoon, and now . . . . . well, the news is . .. . now I’m pregnant!!!

I’m due on September 5th and today I had my first ultrasound. It was a-ma-zing! The baby was moving around all over the place, kicking its legs, jumping up, moving its arms. At one point, the baby even sat up with its legs out and put its arms up as if it was flexing its muscles. I swear, I’m not kidding!

I hate to call my little baby “it”, by the way, but unfortunately it was just too soon to see the sex organs. I’m only 12 weeks, so I won’t actually find out if I’m having a boy or a girl until April sometime. I don’t know how in the world I’m going to wait that long. I want to know noowwww!

But ok, so the news is out. I promise to write more from now on. I’d like to put up some of my ultrasound pictures, but for some reason shutterfly does not want to upload them. I’ll have to try another site I guess. Nik and I will be away this weekend, but I promise to get the pictures up next week.

And just to reiterate . . . I am so excited I could SCREAM!! :-)
