Baby Denver Drama!

Thats right, NO BABY mama drama around here! But boy oh boy do we have drama in Denver! Just a little update on our housing situation. Well... we are meeting with an lawyer tomorrow morning to find out what our rights are as far as this house. As much as I LOVE the house and everything that it has in it, I do understand that there are a lot of problems; and it would be better if we found a different one. So hopefully tomorrow we will have a better idea if we are staying or moving. And hopefully the bank will be understanding either way, but I am not counting on that at all. Our realtor is a dick, and continues to pressure us into not taking any further action.
For those of you who don't know whats going on with the house, after we moved in we discovered that the entire plumbing in the house has to be replaced, the furnace isn't large enough to handle the house, the workmanship was terrible, things are loose, or dont fit...i could probably go on for awhile. But it is a lovely home and if we are forced to stay here we will and just have to fix some of this stuff ourselves. :(

As far as our little one goes...we its still very small, and even though john swears at time he can hear it...he can't. :) We have our first doctors appt next week. All it is is an informational meeting with our Doctors nurse and then we will have the official first appt in February...at the beginning of trimester 2! I am looking very forward to that date!

Other than the first couple of paragraphs all is well here and we really miss Davenport a lot! Can't wait to see you all the next time were in town!

Love,

The Guys

Were having a baby!!!

Well the word is out. Yes, John and I are having a baby. I figured I would utilize this blogging thing so everyone can see whats happening in Denver, IA as John and I figure out the crazy world of parents-to-be. So I am sure everyone is wondering how I told him and I found out myself. Its actually kinda funny. I was at home with our internet installer, oh yah this was December 30th, and I was talking to my sister about being preggo. Anyways... I didn't feel pregnant, actually I believed I wasn't at all but with Johns birthday coming up and New Years Eve on the same day I wanted to be 100% sure that I could have some drinks and be okay! So i got off of the phone with her and took the test. I don't think I will ever forget my reaction when that thing came back positive. Now remember I couldn't scream or jump for joy... I mean we did have some internet guy there who didn't know me at all and I just thought it would be weird sharing my excitement with him before any of my family or my husband. I just sat that for a moment and looked and smiled and then got up, paced back and forth clutching that thing for dear life and praying to god that my eyes were not fooling me. I then immediately called my sister Abby, who was in the car with my mom, and told her. My mom was a little pissed I didn't call her first...whoops... But yes so I shared my news with my immediate family. I really wanted to wait till Johns birthday to tell him. I had it all planned out. I was headed to Ames that afternoon and i was going to pick him up and ISU onesie and wrap it up with the stick. Well.... that didn't happen like I wanted it too. He came home and I told him that I needed to get on the road so I could go get his birthday present. Well then the banter started back and forth or what I was getting him. He wanted a blackberry, and a gun, and a truck. And when I told him that I wasn't going to tell him what I got him, he asked me if I was pregnant. Okay for those of you who know me... I can't lie. And I definitely couldn't lie about something like that. So I told him that I wasn't telling him. And when he asked again I couldn't say no. Lets just say he was kind of in shock. He wanted proof and he wanted me to take another test... but overall he was sooo happy. He called his parents right away to share with them our news. He even called some of his friends! So yes, that is our story and we are both so thrilled to be parents to our future little one.
I know that we are only four weeks along and not due until September so all the prayers would be great so that we can get through the 12 week bump. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers and we can't wait to share more fun and exciting baby news with you all!
