The Secret Is Out!

It's time to let the secret out of the bag...

WE'RE EXPECTING!!!

(A baby!)

We are both unbelieveably excited and can't wait to welcome our first baby in December.

I made these tshirts to tell our families!

Both of our families were so excited!

Bean is the first grandbaby for Matt's parents, so they can't wait.

And my Dad will get to have a grandbaby on each knee!

We are so blessed! Baby and I are healthy, although the "morning" sickness is kicking my butt daily. I am just counting down the days until the second trimester. (25!) Hopefully it will get here quickly! We had an ultrasound at 7 weeks. It was absolutely AMAZING to get to see our Little Bean. He or she was snug and happy. If you've never seen ultrasound photos, I know it's hard to understand what you're looking at. But you can get a general idea...

Have you ever seen such a cute blob?

If you look at the picture above really closely (you can click on it and it will get bigger...) you can see our baby's little toes forming.

HOW AMAZING IS THAT?!

Here's the first belly shot! It was the day of the ultrasound:

7 weeks!

And 9 weeks!! (Taken Thursday 5/13)

I can't believe I'm getting a belly already! It's so amazing to watch it grow. I didn't even realize there was such a difference until I saw these two pictures side-by-side!

I'm hoping to be able to blog about the pregnancy and keep everyone updated. We have another appointment on 05/28 and I am so EXCITED to hear the heartbeat!! What a miracle.

The love I have for our sweet baby already is undescribable. I am due December 16h, and I'm praying our sweet Bean gets here before Christmas!! I sure don't want any birthday/holiday sharing!

What a special season to get to celebrate new life, the same time we're celebrating the Savior.

We are blessed, and life is good.
