Oh Baby!!

Well, the news is out!! David and I are expecting our first child on April 10th, 2010!! We are so excited and feel truly blessed!!

I had been wondering what was going on in this crazy body of mine over the last month or so...So, on the morning of August 8th, I took a pregnancy test...and it revealed...TWO LINES!! I was so excited!! I woke David up by jumping on him, screaming, "It has two lines, it has two lines!!!" :) We let it sink in for just about half an hour or so before David gave me the ok to call my mom. I called her and woke her up, without the jumping, but still screaming. LOL She, of course, started crying, saying that was the best birthday present ever!! So throughout the day, we told family members, and simply asked for everything to be kept quiet until I could make it to the doctor.

I went to the doctor on the 26th. We found out that I was 7 weeks and 4 days pregnant!! He did an ultrasound, and we got to the see the little heartbeat!!! It was just so exciting to see that little living being, inside of me!! God truly amazes me. There's nothing more to say...I'm awe struck by His power.

We had been praying that God would bless us with a child, but we also knew in our hearts, that this would only happen in God's own timing....and only then.

I go back to the doctor on September 15th for another check up and an ultrasound. Definitely more news and pictures to come!! :)

Oh how things change!!

I'm taking a break from my hard work of posting insurance payments at work, to type this out. I haven't posted anything in a LONG time, so I figured I needed to do this!



We have had so much going on in our crazy busy life lately!! My friend Maggie, from high school is getting ready to have their first baby, Jake, next month, so Dana and I threw her a shower last month. That was a crazy day in itself, simply because of my drive to Maryville from Kingsport, then to Seymour, and back home. I went directly to Maryville because Gram and Poppy were moving that day, and I simply wanted to see the new house!! :)

I have another close friend, Emily, who is due to have their first child anytime now. She and I have only known each other for a little over a year now, but we've grown close over this past year. I'm so excited for her and Tyler as they start this new journey in their lives.



We decided not too long ago, that we are ready to move onto bigger and better things...OUR OWN HOME!! It's a very scary step to make, but we're sick of throwing money down an bottomless pit called rent, when that money could be buying our first house. We've been busy little bees doing a lot of searching, and we think we've found "the One"!! It's absolutely beautiful!! It's was completely remodeled in 2008, so the interior is NEW!! I'll put some pictures up as soon as I can!!

David has been not feeling well for several days now, and I've been trying my best to stay away from him... :) So, yesterday afternoon, I came down with whatever it is that he has!! I've got a sore throat, and all kinds of head congestion...yucky! Not enjoying this at all. We are leaving for Daytona Beach on Sunday, and it's going to be David's frist real trip to the beach!! I'm so excited for him! I know we both are in extreme need of a relaxing vacation!! And I'll post the fun pics when we get home!!

Love you all!! :)
