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!
