Well, it's true...Joe and I are having a baby!!! Our little peanut is due in April, we are sooo excited!! We figured it would take at least a few months for it to happen, let's just say Joe is pretty proud of himself because it happened immediately!
At first, I thought I was just psyching myself out and making up "pregnancy symptoms", turns out, I was right! Right away, I was tired, nauseous, had headaches and cramps and I almost lost my lunch when I smelled fried shrimp. I found out on August 20th on my lunch break at work. It was so hard to keep it from Joe until I got home!! And even harder to walk back into work and pretend that my whole world didn't just change! On my way home from work, I picked up a onesie that said "I Love Daddy". Joe had been having a rough day, so I just told him that I had a gift to cheer him up, I think it worked.... :) I handed him the onesie and he just smiled, he didn't get it at first, he just thought I was being sweet for when we really would need it. I said, "Joe.... I'm pregnant". The look on his face was absolutely priceless. We are ecstatic to be parents! And maybe a little freaked out.... :)
We found out while my parents were in Italy, so we had to keep the secret until they got home, but we had already planned to have a family BBQ with my family and Joe's family about 2 weeks after we found out. I will only be 6 weeks at that point, which is still very early, but we plan to take that opportunity to tell everyone all together. We are so excited to see everyone's reaction!
We bought our first items for the baby today, and it was soo much fun, and so overwhelming! We bought onesies and bibs to give to our parents when we tell them. We had the lady at the checkout counter take a picture of us with our new baby clothes, I think she thought we were nuts!
