Exciting News!!

It has finally happened, we are having a baby! It seems like it has been a long road to get to this point but we are finally here. Baby Blad should arrive around April 26th and we couldn't be more excited!

My cute hubby with a big smile! He is so excited to be a Daddy!


This is the picture from the first ultrasound I had at 6 1/2 weeks


I just went to my 14 week appointment and got to hear the heartbeat for the second time. It is one of the greatest sounds in the world! We held off telling people as long as we could because having 2 miscarriages makes you a little paranoid but we are finally convinced that this one is going to make it. Thanks to all those prayers made on our behalf. We know that we are being blessed. The countdown begins for when we find out what we are having Nov. 24th and I have already planned a shopping spree for immediatly after the ultrasound. I can't wait to find out what we are having and then spoil it!!

Yeah!! :) I was going to tell you - you have to go to Motherhood and get you one of those pant extender things. I don't know the offical name of them, but they look like a tube top, they're really stretchy and they go over your pants to help hold them up when your belly gets too big and you can wear your pants undone. I wore mine out, I wore it like everyday. They are a lifesaver and you don't have to wear ugly maternity pants the whole time!
