Our newest (and scariest) Adventure

That's right, 2 lines means positive! We found out a month ago that we will be having our first baby! I am 9 weeks right now and the baby is due September 21st. Of course September, because that's when everyone in our family's birthdays are, including mine. We are so grateful for this baby though, and even though September is not the month I would've picked, we know Heavenly Father knows what he's doing. For instance, he saved us a bundle of money on insurance premiums since this pregnancy starts and ends the same year!

This is how we told our families:


Scott designed this onesie and it has been sitting in our closet for 6 months, hoping it would get used soon!

I have been feeling pretty lousy, I throw up everyday, luckily just once in the morning, but I feel bad ALL DAY. And i am SO TIRED. Sometimes I come home from work and go to bed, and don't wake up til it's time for work the next day (usually about 11 hours) and I still feel tired that morning! I haven't been enjoying it and thinking that women who say, "I just love being pregnant!" are crazy, but today I listened to Elder Wirthlin's talk called, 'Come what May and Love it.' It is seriously such an awesome talk and it made me think, I'm so grateful I am sick! I'm so grateful that we've been given this sweet spirit to take care of, and I'm grateful that my body is healthy and strong enough to care for it. I'm also grateful for all the bad physical things that are coming with the territory because I know everything is normal. I even have a little bump!

Scott is just going to be the best daddy ever. Not only does every child LOVE him, but he has been so amazing ever since I got pregnant. He has really stepped up to take care of me and our home. I'll come home from work and the house is cleaned, or the dishes done (which is my job), or the grocery shopping has been done. And he has been so patient with the fact that I don't want to eat normal meals. We're both very excited! (and maybe scared)
