Whoa Baby..

I have been toying with the idea of ending this blog. I haven't been here in a while, since my last sad post about our house getting robbed. But time has passed since those sad days and things are a lot better. It seemed we were so preoccupied with what happened to our home that we weren't really thinking about what it seemed we were always thinking about. A baby. And so on Sept. 17th when I took a pregnancy test, you could imagine my surprise when I saw a dark blue plus sign appear before my eyes. I was so surprised that I screamed by myself in the bathroom. I am very excited and happy. I also am feeling so many other emotions that I am learning come along with pregnancy! But overall I feel joy and happiness, and find myself wondering about our little baby. A little product of me and Cory in the making. While some people say that it is best to hold off telling others... it was just too hard to hold it in, especially since we have had so many people hoping, and praying right along with us. I didn't share my news in any of the ways I had imagined doing so in the past.. charades, with food, written in the sky by jets...Nope just simply everyday since we found out we spilled the beans to our closest family, and then before we knew it, we pretty much spilled all the beans, but have enjoyed the reactions of happiness and encouragement from our loved ones.... my due date is May, 23, 2011, which seems so far away.. but I know it will be here before we know it. I think some of the shock has worn off, and now I am full of anticipation, and wonderment. And so the ride begins... here we go!
