We're Having A BABY!!!! :)

On Decemer 7th, I woke up to feeling nauseous (which come to find out was mornin sickness). Joe had just been home for two weeks R&R which was a complete suprise. Something off of one of the suprise homecoming shows,it was truly magical.
Feeling queezy I knew I had been "a little late", so I went and got a pregnancy test. A few minute later this is what it looked like:

I was literally jumping up an down with excitement! This is a blessing we have wanted for a while and are so happy it came true. I immediately sent a message to Joe with this picture explaining how excited I was. He was just as excited as I was. The next exciting step was suprising my parents: so I found a clever idea to decorate the kitchen oven (like bun in the oven) and so I did. That night when we got home from church I told them
I had baked them something and to go look in the oven. I then got to video them in pure excitement and joy seeing all the decorations and signs of baby stuff. They we very excited finding out they are going to be grandparents!

I am so excited to share the info with Shannon (my sister ) who is 19 and at college I know she will be so excited to be an aunt! I decorated this Aunt Jemima pancake box and changed things up to tell her she is an aunt. I told her I have a Christmas gift for her so I wrapped it all up and inside the box is a "I love my aunt" picture frame. She comes home in two days and I couldn't be more excited! :)

                    *the box Says Aunt Shanny, Butter be Ready, completely made with love,just add baby,fully cooked August 2012
My First Dr appt is on December 30, and after the appt is when we will be announcing to everyone we are expecting a little angel! :)
It is now December 15 and I am 6 weeks along. Having slight nausea and sleepiness but other than that things are going well. Very excited to share our big news with everyone.

I got to suprise my sister and these pictures should say it all! :) she is one proud aunt to be! :)
