We're having a baby!!!

On Thursday, October 1, 2009 our lives forever changed! Matt and I found out that we are having a baby!!!

Matt and I had been "kind of" trying for a couple of months, but leaving it in Gods will. Even still,

I was shocked. Last month I had to have a minor medical procedure done, so figured nothing would happen until at least October. Plus, I really wasn't feeling any pregnancy symptoms, so when Matt suggested I might be pregnant, I kind of laughed it off thinking it couldn't be possible.

I took the first test, and it came back positive. In fact, the plus sign showed up immediately. Since the pack came with two tests, I took the second one a little while later just to be sure. Again, positive.

My initial reaction was shock. I was seeing the plus sign, but didn't believe my eyes. But aside from shocked, I was all the "typical" emotions--I was so thrilled, excited, nervous and in awe all at once. Everyone who knows me knows how much I love babies and children, and my biggest dream in life was to be a mother.

How I told Matt--Well, for all of you who know Matt, you know how he can never wait for surprises. He needs to know what it is NOW. Lol. Well, with the baby it was no different. I had planned to tell him when he got home from work (so he could focus while he's there), and get him a card that says something like "congrats, you're going to be a daddy" and then surprise him with my pregnancy test...but that didn't happen. He actually texted me out of the blue saying " you preggo?" I tried blowing it off so I wouldn't give it away, so then he responded with something like "well if you're making me wait until lunch, then that must be a yes". So since I'm not good at lying or keeping secrets, I figured I'd tell him. So I called him and told him the good news. He said he was happier than he's ever been in life. We were both so thrilled.

Since it was a workday, we both had work. But it just so happened that I didn't have a client until 2, and Matt until 1, so we decided to meet up for lunch to be together to celebrate the good news. We went out to eat at a yummy Thai place and talked about our new baby!

I will use this bog to update with pregnant pics and info so feel free to check back from time to time!
