Josh and I are expecting a little baby in January!! I'm pregnant!! We couldn't be more excited!!! I'm about 9 and a half weeks along and doing great. I have some good days and some bad ones, but for the most part, I'm doing great! I can't even begin to tell you how wonderful my sweet husband has been. Everytime I'm feeling bad, he's right there by my side. He's a great husband and is going to be a WONDERFUL daddy. The due date for this little bundle of joy is January 16th. The day we found out, we decided to do a little home pregnancy test just for the heck of it. It was a cheap one so we figured we might as well. We had been taking pregnancy tests for the previous few weeks and kept getting negative, so that's what we were both expecting that morning too. Well, we woke up and took it, and once I saw that line starting to form, I started crying and we just hugged. We couldn't believe it. It was such a great moment.



The morning we found out, we went to Target and bought a baby journal to write in and of course, some baby clothes! It was so fun. We both wrote in the journal that morning, and I've been trying to keep up with entries since. It's been great!

This is the little boy outfit we bought. It's a little sleeper and it's VERY soft. It took me a long time to decide what to get because there were so many options.

This is the little girl outfit. All it's missing now is a big pink bow to go in the hair.

This is my very first maternity top. It's really cute on. I love it. I put a little pillow underneath, and it looked really cool.

On Mother's Day, Josh surprised me and bought me this maternity top that I wanted with the sweetest little card. He's the best. My sweet mom also bought me a shirt, and my dad bought me a precious moment statue. It was a great day.


So, I've been busy making a little baby quilt. It turned out really cute. In high school, I made a little boy blanket, so now, I had to make one for a little girl. It was SO much fun to make. It has pink polka dots and pink and white stripes. I love it!!


About three weeks ago, we thought we might have miscarried. We went to the doctor and they did an ultrasound. Everything was fine. The best part was that we got to hear the heartbeat. I can't even begin to tell you how amazing that sound was. I started crying. We both felt very connected to our baby right then. It was the best sound either of us have ever heard. It was awesome. You can barely see the baby in this picture, but it's definitely there.

Yesterday was Father's Day and Josh, being the best husband and soon to be daddy in the world, got a few things. I bought him a really nice new watch, (which he desperately needed), and some of his favorite candy. We went down to Columbus for the weekend to see my family. In the morning, my mom and I got up and made my dad and Josh breakfast in bed. It was really fun. It's been a great time for both of us and for our families. We are all just so excited. Josh and I always talk about how wonderful it will be to hold our little baby in our arms for the first time. It's going to be great! We already love that baby so much. We can't wait for him or her to get here.
