Our Biggest Project EVER...

Ok, I know that it's been FOREVER since I've written anything on here, but I think you'll forgive me when you find out what our newest project is. It is by far the BIGGEST project we have ever taken on, as individuals or as husband & wife: IT'S A BABY!!!! That's right, we will be adding a new member to our family come this November (an estimated date of Nov 13, 2011 to be exact). We really cannot come up with words to express our excitement, terror, happiness, fear....so many emotions run through you in the days, weeks, & months after first finding out the big news. For us it was an especially big shock as we had been trying for awhile and were actually facing the possibility of having to go through medical tests. God has his timing though and even when I thought it was yet another month down with no baby, He was waiting to surprise me. I couldn't even believe my eyes with the positive test (I'd actually taken it to prove to myself I WASN'T pregnant)---I had to hurry up & put my contacts in so that I could look at it again. Talk about a great surprise! We've been having fun since that time thinking & dreaming of our little one. So far the only verification of the little life has been 1) me being constantly sick from 6 weeks pregnant to just this week (15 weeks; that's a total of 9 weeks of being sick pretty much every waking moment; thankfully the anti-sickness meds finally seem to be enough to overcome the hormones that make you feel sick), and 2) the ultrasound/Doppler that let us hear our little one & see his/her preciousness. Don't believe me? Look below:

See? Cutest little thing ever!!! Nothing could ever describe the first view, or watching your little one's arms & legs spazzing out when he/she gets upset by the pressure of the ultrasound wand...Incredible. God is just incredible, this gift is incredible, and the journey we're on is incredible. Stay tuned, I'm sure we'll have many adventures to share over the coming months (and not just about the baby!).
