Meet Me Here Monday: 10 tiny fingers and 10 tiny toes!

Yep! It's true!! I'm now thrilled to announce that we are PREGNANT!!

We found out the week before Memorial Day, and were absolutely FLOORED! We had taken a couple of months off from "trying" so as to let my body rest and "get back to normal", so to find out that we were able to get pregnant again the first month was a huge surprise.

I had taken the test early one morning, once Del had left for class. When I saw that plus sign, I immediately called him and asked if I could bring him some lunch. So we met for lunch, and when he opened up his lunchbox, I had the positive test waiting for him inside! It was a really sweet moment.

We knew my parents would be coming down that next weekend for Memorial Day, so we thought we would make it a surprise and tell them in person.

{Even though I think they already had some strong suspicions.}

 They were excited, to say the least.
We had to tell Del's parents over the phone because his dad was in China at the time and his mom had just had Lasik Eye Surgery, so she was pretty much blind at that point and had to have Del's little brother read her the text! ha.

So, what have we been up to since then?! Well....I've just been sick. Period.
Trying to find something that sounds good, AND something that actually sets well in my stomach was a really hard combination for about 12 weeks. ha.
Not to mention, it's been peak Wedding Season over here....which made me really nervous because not only was I getting sick all throughout the day, but I was also having a really hard time not taking a nap on a daily basis. But God has extended much Grace, because even though I was sick during the week, it seemed like each weekend when those weddings would roll around...I would have the strength to make it though. And thankfully, never got sick once at a wedding!

But here are some picture of what our Sweet Little One looks like so far!

  After our 8 Week Appointment, we started calling the baby, "Baby Bean" because that's what it looked like! So, when we went back for our 13 Week Appointment, I could not believe my eyes! This child is no longer a Bean! It actually has legs, hands, fingers, and toes!! I was just expecting to see a bigger Bean....so I was completely amazed when we saw this:

And of course, if you know my husband AT ALL....you won't be surprised when I tell you that, we don't have a crib, we don't have a car seat, and we don't even have a single package of diapers....but by golly....we have a kid carrier backpack! ha. Del found it on Steep & Cheap the other day and has been wearing it around the house ever since.

Needless to say, we are pretty excited!

We will be keeping you updated on the progress, and would appreciate all your prayers as this Little One continues to grow big and strong.

January 23rd is going to be here before we know it!
