Josh and I are SOOOOOOO excited to welcome a little one this summer! I am 16 weeks - due July 20th. I can't even begin to express how humbled we feel that the Lord blessed us with this baby. We are so incredibly grateful.
Since we got married, our plan (of course we had a plan - we're planners!) was to have a baby after we had been married about 2 years. We wanted to enjoy it just being the two of us for a while, develop a strong marriage and then welcome a baby into our world.

And we are right on schedule! Our 2 year anniversary was November 1st, and we found out we were pregnant on November 9th! We had actually been trying for about 4 months, and I had a taken a ZILLION pregnancy tests, ovulation tests, all the things that make us women feel insane...
So on November 9th, I woke up at 3am (couldn't sleep) and took a test, laid it on the counter and went back to bed. I had taken so many that were negative, I assumed this one would be, too - so I wasn't even going to bother looking. But a few minutes later, curiousity got the best of me and I went back to take a look. I saw a dark pink line and a VERY faint pink line. I ran into the bedroom and started shaking Josh, saying "Wake up! There's 2 lines! I think there's 2 lines!" He jumped up and ran to look at the test. I will NEVER forget the smile that came across his face, and the giant bear hug that swallowed me in his arms. I started crying...I don't think either of us believed it!
We find out in 2 weeks if it's a boy or girl! Then we can start spoiling this little baby rotten :-)
