YES!


Yep! We are going to be parents! We found out this exciting news a few weeks ago and have had so much fun sharing it with our family and friends over the past week. I am due April 10, and am currently 7 weeks along. The good Lord graciously answered our prayers that we would be able to have the baby towards the end of school so that I could take the remainder of the school year off for my maternity leave. We are just beyond words at this point. We are so excited, happy, prayerful, scared, and filled with joy, as I'm sure all new parents are. We ask for your prayers as we begin this journey towards parenthood.

This past Friday we were able to go to the doctor for the first time. We had our sonogram and everything looks healthy. We were able to see our little one, see its heart beating, and hear that precious heartbeat. It was on of the most beautiful sounds I have ever heard. Over the past week I have had some pretty bad run-ins with nausea, but it seems to be getting better. I was able to get some medication to help me out! The Lord greatly answered my prayers for the first day of school, because I felt better today than I have in over a week.

So, I'm sure there will be many more updates to come. We just can't wait to tell you all about our baby!
