On May 24, 2011 -- Patrick and I got the biggest surprise of our lives. We found out we were expecting!! (I told you our lives have moved fast!) We took that surprise as a sign that, although not expected so soon, is a blessing of what is meant to be for us. After taking four at-home pregnancy tests, I called my doctor the next morning to schedule an appointment. The appointment scheduler asked me "So you've taken a pregnancy test and it was positive?" I said "mmm hmm.... I took FOUR!" We met with the doctor for the first time on June 6 and found out I was 7 weeks and 1 day along. We were able to see our little boogar and hear its heartbeat -- 120 at the time. What an emotional moment!
We told our parents, Patrick's siblings, and a couple close friends our big news that night. Everyone seemed to share our same enthusiasm and we just know this sweet baby will be oh-so-loved! This baby will be the first grandchild for my parents!! And as you will see below, he or she will be Patrick's parents' FIFTH!
Back to the siblings --- I failed to mention in the Wedding Day post that I also gained 6 siblings the day we said "I do!" I grew up an only child, so adding Patrick's two sisters and brother plus their spouses was a really fun bonus to marrying Patrick! Since I'm so late in starting this blog, I must also mention that I became an aunt on our wedding day to Luke (who is now almost 3!). Tyler was due to be born less than a month after our wedding day (he's now turning 1!). Since then, Henry has entered the world and is now over 2 months old! Rachael is expecting the first little girl and we can't wait to meet Adaline Grace around November 9th! Our family has been VERY busy :) Here is a pic of Luke, Tyler, and Henry. And a sneak peak of Adaline!
