When to Announce??


So we were definitely pregnant. How soon should we tell people? We had a little bit of trouble keeping it in. All sources out there say wait until the second trimester, as the likelihood of miscarriage dramatically decreases. But I wanted to think positive and share the great news with all my friends and family.
It took only four weeks after we had a positive pregnancy test for us to start posting pictures on Facebook.
My babies, Annie and Marley were the ones to break the news. Week after week they will continue to update the progress of my growing belly and growing baby :)

We're Having A Baby!!!

After being married a little over a year and a half, Brad and I started to get the "let's make a baby jitters". Month after month that darn pee stick only came up with one line. During the month of March, we talked about taking a break because if we were to conceive we would very likely have a Christmas baby. And did we really want our poor child to go through a lifetime of combined Christmas/Birthday presents??? Needless to say, our month of "not trying" became a "woohoo!!!"

How did I find out? I was feeling a little strange at work with dizzy spells and bouts nausea. So while heading home I decided to go to Rite Aid and pick up some tests. And lucky me they were having a buy one get one half off sale! Weeeh!

I got home and decided to take the test on my own. Brad and I have done the whole let's look together approach but the past months yielded disappointing results so I wanted to do it solo. And whaddayakno??? Holy crap there were two lines!!!

Without thinking I ran outside looking for him. I found him in the backyard, screamed his name and started waving the pee stick in the air. He looks up and realizes what I'm trying to tell him and he says in disbelief, "You tell me while I'm scooping dog poop?!"

It was followed by many hugs, kisses, and happy tears.

So yes World, we're having a baby!!
