Our confession...

(I originally posted this a few days ago... but blogger apparently ate it after posting. Not sure how it disappeared. Sorry about that!)

Well, I guess it's time to come clean on my blog. Most of our friends and family know about our news but I'm sure there are a few online friends out there that haven't heard so this one's for you! (I've been chicken about telling people so I've avoided this as long as possible.)

The past few months have been pretty crazy for us. I still feel like we are walking around in a dreamland some days and that we are living someone else's life. I can't believing it's our family I'm talking about. Long story short, Kylie is going to be a big sister come the end of January.

We are pregnant!!!

It came as quite a shock and was pretty unexpected. The timing couldn't have been more perfect. We were preparing to go down to a clinic in Vegas to do some infertility treatments when several weeks before our deposit was due I wasn't feeling well (I'm sure you know where this is going) took a test and those two little pink lines showed up. I.Was.Just.Speechless. We've essentially been trying for seven years so this has been something I wasn't sure I'd ever experience, let alone have it happen out of the blue. It definitely confirms to us that Kylie was meant to be with our family. We made an appointment with an OB I'd never met before and found out that we were eleven weeks at the time, almost out of the first trimester. WHAT THE HECK!!!! We were shocked by then, if we weren't before.

I'm now twenty five weeks along, the baby is growing well and so far everything has gone very smoothly. I'm due January 21st with a little boy! I started feeling him move a little bit a couple of weeks ago which has been fun. I've been feeling pretty great. I was sick from week 12-14 and have a bad ongoing case of the dry-heaves if anything so much as a toothbrush is in my mouth (going to the dentist was fun let me tell you) but other than that I've felt fine. We've explained a bit to Kylie but I'm not sure if she really understands. She just thinks it's great that mommy has a belly bump like her's so she likes to "belly bump" us. Even dad sometimes too :) She absolutely loves little babies so we know she'll be over the moon to have a little baby in our house. Just today when I was doing her hair she found a little bottle of infant medicine in the drawer that has a top that kind of looks like a bottle. She kept pointing the "bottle" at my belly like she wanted to feed the baby. So she must know more than we think she does! She's such a cutie. We feel so blessed to be able to give her a sibling. It's something we've looked forward to and wanted for the longest time.

We are so excited, I can't even tell you.

Oh Yeah!!! Congratulations!! I am OH SO VERY EXCITED for you. T A very similar thing happened to my BIL and SIL, they adopted my nephew (after trying for years), when he turned 2 they were waiting to adopt again and one fell through and then nothing was happening and then....she was pregnant! We were so excited. My nephew is now 3 and it happened again and our new neice is 1 week old!

Oh I am so so happy for you. I'm sorry you aren't feeling well, oh the things we do for our children!

Hang in there!
