The Biggest News of the Summer...

The Biggest news of the summer is that Ryan and I are having a baby! We are SO excited to become parents. We feel like we have been parents to at least 20 kids for the last 6 years, but we are SUPER excited to finally become parents of our own children. We found out June 11th and look forward to February 8th, which is our due date. I honestly can't believe that I am 17 weeks already. Where did the first few months go? Our ultrasound is scheduled at the end of September and NO we are not finding out what we are having. Yes, I am a planner, but I think that is why I don't want to find out. There are just not enough surprises in life.

I have been feeling great (knock on wood). I had a little evening sickness (5:00-6:00ish), especially is I didn't eat on a regular basis. That sickness is mostly gone, but there are days that smells and the thought of certain foods make me feel icky. I am starting to gain weight and not fit into any of my pants, which is hard thing to accept, however I know it is all for a good cause.

We have finally told most of our family and friends. It is hard keeping something so exciting a secret. I had open house at school tonight and told the parents in my room. Most seemed to be okay with it and said congrats. I am not sure they will be too happy to find out that I am taking the rest of the year, but oh well.

I will post pictures of my growing belly as soon as I can, but right now, I am exhausted and need to rest.
