as for me, well now that school is done maybe it will sink in that WE'RE HAVING A BABY!! it is true. as much as we were planning on waiting a while, i can't help but feel so grateful for this little nugget growing inside me. and we found out this little nugget is a girl!! we couldn't be happier! she'll make her appearance around 11/10/12.
here is a little rundown on how we found out we are expecting... it was monday, march 5th and i had just finished a normal hospital shift for school. while i was there, i realized i was a few days late (which never happens to me). but i didn't really linger on the thought. however, i just happened to notice that just about every nurse i worked that day with was pregnant. plus, anytime a baby is born there, they play a little nursery rhyme for the entire hospital to hear. so of course that went off 10 times that day. i started getting the thought in my head, and once it entered it wouldn't go away. so as soon as i got home i told ryan to come with me while i take the test and to be the one to tell me it's negative so i can just move on (i was convinced it was negative). i take the test and i wait and wait for him to say something. finally i said something like, "okay just tell me it's negative already!" ryan says, "welllll..." i knew it had to be positive. and i freaked out a little. okay maybe a lot. we just hugged and i got teary eyed, and ryan said to me "aww, i knocked you up." :) i made him take me to target and get another one just to be safe. and what do ya know, that was positive too. so we called my parents and mindy and carrie and shared the news. his parents were out of the country so we had to wait a few days to tell them.
so that's our story and i'm now 17 weeks pregnant and still in denial i'm really pregnant. it really was a great surprise!
since this is our first official 'baby post' i'll do a quick catchup of other fun things in our lives. first, i somehow got lucky enough to go on ellen mother's day show! let's just say we scored. we got a sleep number bed, crib, carseats, stroller, babies r us gift card, and many more. i am still on cloud 9 and can't believe all that has happened in the last few months. ryan and i also went camping a couple weeks ago and used our new hiking backpacks.
it was such a nice quick getaway! i also just got back from visiting my best friend tahnee in san antonio. she's 38 weeks pregnant with a girl! i hadn't seen her in over 2 years so i needed some tahnee time!
i had so much fun visiting and catching up with my beautiful friend and i'm so excited to meet her little lila jeanne! thanks for the fun tahn tahn :)
just one last post, and i'm only posting it so i don't forget how great my 27th birthday was this last week! ryan and i went out to breakfast with his parents, then i got my hair done while ryan was working. for dinner, ryan took me to sushi, which we haven't had in forever!! of course i stuck to the cooked stuff but it was ah-mazing! then he took me shopping and got me some earings and maternity pants. but the best part of the day...ryan gave me the BEST massage i've ever had! who knew he had it in him. up till now, he's given me a few (and i mean very few) quick massages :). but this time he set up our room with candles and dimmed the lights and turned on nature sounds and used massage oil and everything! he is in big trouble now that i know he has this hidden talent. anyway, thanks again for the fun day babe! xoxo
