Welcome Baby Amelia :)

On October 26, 2012, my sister gave birth to her second daughter, Amelia, via a scheduled c-section. My mom and I sat together in the waiting room with my niece, Maddy, and it was hard to keep a secret again! It probably wasn't the best idea for me to be there because it kind of freaked me out! There were some complications which were pretty scary, but now Amelia is perfectly healthy! Later in the day, I was talking to my mom on the phone and told her the big news! I explained that I had wanted to tell her in person, but was concerned that Maddy would tell everyone. She was very excited and mentioned that maybe I would have her first grandson! (My mom has 6 granddaughters!

Spilling the Beans!

On October 19, 2012, Andrew couldn't hold it in anymore and told his mom, Janice, that we were expecting. I think she was surprised :) We also suspected that his sister, Karey, might be pregnant, to which Janice responded "I wouldn't be surprised at all if she was"....hmmm.....

Secrets

The following night, we attended the wedding of my childhood best friend, Becky. My Mom and John were there too, and it was hard to keep a secret. I poured some wine into my glass and pretended to drink it so it wouldn't be too obvious :)

We're Gonna Have a Baby!!!

So...we've known we are expecting since October, but I'm only getting around to starting this blog now. I wanted to keep track of my pregnancy with pictures and posts, so that I would remember how I was feeling, when things happened, etc. I'll be posting a bunch of posts now, and then probably about once a week.

I took my first test on October 10, 2012, and it was negative. (test on top)

On October 12, 2012, I decided to take another test. I did it first thing in the morning, and Andrew and I stood in the bathroom staring at the stick. Just as we were giving up, a faint second line appeared (test on the bottom). I immediately googled "faint second line" and the consensus was that even the faintest second line = pregnant!!! We were super excited, but we both had to get ready for work!
