Alright, here goes nothing!

So, now that we have something big going on, I decided that keeping this blog is probably a good idea. It keeps everyone informed and keeps my "journal" up to date! :)
On June 12th we found out, with multiple tests, that we are going to have a baby. Yeay for babies. It was a great surprise and now that we have gotten use to the idea, we are really excited about it. My family, of course, replied with screams and chants of "I am going to be a grandma, I am going to be a grandpa, I am going to be an uncle, I am going to be an aunt". Since this is our first, it is our parents first grandbaby and they are thrilled. Richard didn't get quite as good of a reaction out of his family. They were excited, but most of the ladies said, "I knew she was pregnant", and that wasn't quite the reaction Richard was looking for.
Since then we have slowly been collecting things from aunts and uncles and friends and grandmas and we are getting excited about it. At our first doctors appointment on July 20th we found out that our baby is due on February 5th. Richard hopes it is early, since the Superbowl is on February 7th. Yes, and secretly I hope that my baby is born on the 7th! :) hehe! Just kidding.
So as of today we are 13 weeks along, I am almost out of my first trimester, which will be good, if the sickness subsides with the change of trimester.
When we have more updates in this department, I will sure enough put them on here! Loves to all, and hope all is well.
