It's A... BABY!

Josh and I's announcement of the year... we're expecting a sweet addition in January! Talk about the best Birthday gift ever! We have been waiting for God to bless our sweet family with a baby and He sure did have the best plan ever <3 Here's the story of our amazing weekend:

On the weekend of May 10th we left to go to Lynchburg, VA for my college graduation ceremony. It was also Josh's Birthday that very day, and the next day was Mother's Day! So, long story short- It was already turning out as an awesome weekend! On the morning of the 10th it was my graduation day and Josh's 23rd Birthday. While I was getting ready (at the CRACK of dawn!) to head over for the graduation ceremony- I decided I would take a test just to see. I don't know whether it was because of the heartburn that woke me up (that I would learn was my first pregnancy "symptom"), or what, but who decides to take a test at 5AM on their graduation day?! Evidently ME! So the test was taken... and it was positive! Talk about a tear-jerker! We were (and are) SO happy to be adding this sweet little baby to our family! 

The day flew like a whirlwind and the whole time I was walking in graduation I just thought "the baby is with me during graduation" "I am pregnant". It was surreal- the ceremony was awesome and tiring. And it was one of the best days of my life <3 Later that night we went out to dinner and shared the great news with both sets of parents and my younger brother- they were all so shocked and happy- it was awesome!! 

Now I am 11 weeks pregnant with this sweet peanut and we are still on cloud nine <3
