Yes it's true! No April Fool's this time!
We found out on Easter weekend that we are expecting our first child and we are due on Christmas!
How crazy that the two holiest days of the year will bring/have brought us so much joy!?
I have been bursting at the seams to share this joyous news, but alas I have been told several times to "be careful" and not to get too excited because "anything could happen". I hate that I haven't felt comfortable enough to scream it from the rooftop, but at this stage in the game, I've decided that it's our life and what happens happens. Having said that I am still very afraid of the big "M".
So far I have been experiencing some pretty intense morning sickness (aka "all day sickness"), serious exhaustion, and an overall icky feeling. My face has exploded with blemishes making me look like an adolescent meth addict and my entire head region is an oil factory. Delightful. I'm still waiting for this "pregnancy glow" that everyone talks about. Hopefully I will feel better soon because I want to be full of energy and life to prepare for the next 8 months.
We had our first sonogram on May 23rd and it was incredible. As soon as I saw the heartbeat I started crying. What an incredible blessing. Casey and his mom were there as well and it was such a cool moment that we got to experience together. I love love love our obstetrician and I am looking forward to working with her (plus she's a fellow blogger so that's cool). Baby Page's heartbeat was 160 and it was even moving around and waving at us. It was a truly incredible experience.. I just can't say that enough. We're going to be parents... WOW!
