We're Pregnant!!

We just found out on May 1st that we're pregnant! We're so excited (and nervous) about this new phase in our lives. Here's the "proof" from our pregnancy test. One of the lines is pretty faint, but, from what we're told, two lines are two lines no matter how faint.

I couldn't stand keeping this secret from my parents, especially since I see them at least a few times a week, so on Sunday, May 3rd we had my parents and Kelley over for lunch. Prior to them coming over, I made notes for each of them that said they were going to be a grandma, grandpa, and aunt. Drew and I hid the notes under their placemats and revealed them to them after the meal. They were shocked! And what's so funny is that when we sat down to eat Kelley actually asked if we were going to announce that we were pregnant. We hadn't told her, but she wondered if that's why we had them over. We tried to "play if off" so we could keep the surprise.

I also made a cake for dessert and decided to incorporate my mom's way of telling her parents she was pregnant - by writing "Boy? Girl?" on it. However, I do have to warn you, my decorating skills are definitely lacking. I have looked into taking a cake decorating class just so you know. :)

Soon after we called Drew's mom, sister, and brother to share the news as well. They were all so excited for us! We really look forward to seeing them in July for a family get together in CA. Hopefully by then we'll know whether we're having a BOY or a GIRL.

Our first doctor appointment is in one week on Thursday, May 15th. We were told they'll do an ultrasound so hopefully we'll have a picture of our "sesame seed-sized" baby. :) We're also looking forward to finding out our due date. We believe it will be mid-January...maybe close to Drew 's (19th) and my mom's birthday (21st).

(This is a sesame seed next to a quarter. Wow!!)
