I had begun to expect there was a baby on board in early January... however, I didn't expect this until AFTER the weekend in which I ate my hearts content in sushi and bleached my roots! (Sushi is a no no for prego women, however the hair dying is a wives tale)
I didn't want to find out before Kris - neither of us were EXPECTING it, but we knew the day would come and when it did we would be thrilled. So, I waited until Kris' actual birthday, January 17th, and took the test that morning before work. Immediately the answer was clear- however I was in total shock. Kris was in school that morning so I couldn't tell him, so instead I went out and bought several more, multiple brands. Well after test number two I knew it was for sure!
I took several hours wondering how I would tell him, and searching Pinterest for ideas... alas I found how I wanted to surprise him... I was going to pop the question- kinda of...
I "popped" the question with a ring pop :)
His reaction was priceless but wonderful... I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband who is excited to be a daddy!
So then we decided to keep it a secret for a few weeks which was H A R D! Luckily I wasn't sick so there wasn't anything to hide, but all we wanted to do was tell everyone we saw! FInally the day came where we decided to tell our parents. We had a wonderful lunch with both of them and Kris made a video to make the announcement. The reactions were wonderful... tears and excitement all around! :)
Then on March 8th it became even more real... we had our first Dr's appointment and saw our sweet little one for the first time!
I couldn't believe how cute our little baby looked!
It is definitely the most amazing experience to see the baby that God is perfectly forming inside of you. I looked at the pictures for hours.
Now we are in week 14 and the baby is starting to grow which means so am I! This is my first "bump" picture... I did not eat a bag of dorito's first! :)

Those are my updates so far... now that I have started the blog I plan to update more often about our little growing family!
