THE news

I could not be happier or more excited to share this news with you. THE news. The BIG news.

Glenn and I will welcome our first baby into the world in early June. Hooray!

I am 12 weeks pregnant and about as thrilled as any pregnant woman has been since time began.

After 12 months TTC, one laproscopy, two cycles of Clomid and a some horrific herbal tonic (that has scarred me forever) my time finally came.

Please forgive the radio silence over the last few months. We only told our families last week! Keeping this secret for three months has been hard!

Here I am the day we took the test. I wanted this "before" shot so I can compare once I start showing.




I took the test at home first thing one morning. I had already noticed my sense of smell had changed (weird) and my already curvaceous hour glass figure was blossoming (up top only and NOT APPRECIATED). However we had been disappointed before and I refused to get my hopes up.

The test changed from one line to two before I left the bathroom! I met Hubs in the hall and promptly started crying!

Our family doctor was away so I did not take the blood test for about five days. LONGEST FIVE DAYS EVER. I still refused to hope and swayed between giddy joy and gripping terror, until the nurse called with the result.

I have so many stories and posts of things that have happened over the last three months. It was difficult to talk about the holiday, the wedding, the family events and everyday things without saying "I am having a baby!"

Hopefully I can catch up now and document some wonderful memories as well as my first pregnancy.

Thank you to all my blog friends who have prayed and hoped for me. Your emails and tweets are appreciated.
