the greatest gift.

we are expecting!
our little one is expected to arrive january 27, 2012.
kyle and i have always talked about becoming parents, but we were just waiting for the right time and wanted some time just the two of us for a while. so after 2 and a half years of marraige, in april, we decided that we were ready to add to our little family. so we stopped preventing it in the hopes that within the next 6 months or so, we'd get pregnant.  little did we know it would happen a lot sooner than that. : ) about two and a half weeks later i told kyle that i was pregnant(i just knew i was, i can't explain it!).  he thought i was crazy of course.  a few days later i had a line down the middle of my belly. (i know what you're thinking...wha?! already??...i thought the same thing!) i showed the hubbs and told him see...i told you i'm pregnant! he still wasn't buying it. so about a week later i bought a few pregnancy tests and planned to take one the next morning. i woke up so excited and the few minutes it takes for the test seemed like forever!  i went and looked at the stick and there was a faint little pink line.  i showed kyle and of course he said, "it's not very dark." i tried explaining to him that a line is a line and it was probably too early that's why it was so faint.  so a few days later i took another and the line was a little darker...and then to ease my husband's doubts bought a digital test and showed him the next morning the words "pregnant" and then he really believed it was true....we were having a baby!  we laughed, we cried, we were thrilled! we couldn't believe it happened so fast and just weeks ago we were dreaming about the wonderfulness of parenthood... and now we were expecting! we had plans to go back to texas a few weeks later and we didn't want to tell anyone over the phone. so a reallly really  LONG 3 weeks later we finally went home.  i went to my first doctor appointment and had an ultrasound.  everything looked great so of course we couldn't wait to tell our families and friends.  everyone was surprised and so excited for the new addition!

we are now back in canada and will be driving back home to texas in a few weeks. we cannot wait!
i got a job teaching second grade at a new school that's opening and we couldn't be more excited to be going back to texas AND becoming parents in a little over 6 months!

we can't wait to find out if we'll be bringing a sweet little boy or girl into this world! (i have a feeling it's a girl, but who knows!) as long as it's healthy we don't care at all!

just wanted to share the news....when we get back to texas i'll put my ultrasound pictures on here(I left them there) and by then maybe a belly pic or two. : )
