Surprise!

Well the cat is out of the bag now. We are expecting! I went to the doctor Monday and was hoping to share an ultrasound, but they said I was measuring 5wks 4days at the time and the machines only register heartbeats at 6weeks. UGH! But at least next month I get to have another ultrasound!

We've known for a couple weeks and it's been killing me not to tell, but we wanted to surprise everyone. Last month was our last month trying before fall (Didn't want a Dec, Jan, Feb baby). We've actually been trying since October and it was getting very frustrating bc my schedules were all over the place. One month 3 days late, the next a week late, the next 2 weeks late. So Feb came I just said heck with it, I'm not going to focus on it and if it happens it happen. Sure enough it did! Probably all my stressed messed me up.

They say to wait a week after your supposive start date but I couldn't bear it any longer and tried the next day. Haha Thinking nothing would show, but I guess I have strong hormone levels. So there I am during my lunch break running to Target to get tests. 1st test the line was faint, I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. So I take another one. Same thing. Ugh not clear enough for me....so out came the digital (btw why are digital soooo freakin expensive?!). There it was "Pregnant" I run across the hall to tell my dear friend Erica and plot how to tell Wes.

So I go pick up Aiden and when we get home I hand him the test and this piece of paper and told him to go hand it to daddy. Wes reached for the test first and was like "OMG! Is this real?!" haha No I got someone else to take it for me. haha Then I had to threaten him to not tell his parents yet. I had a surprise! I ordered a shirt that day for Aiden to wear.

Later that night we told our other good friends Trey and Brit (who's due in August with their 1st one) by sending them this funny picture. Bun in the oven.

Next came my brother and sister only because at the time we were thinking of family trips for Christmas, to inform them yeah you might want to stop that because this lady isn't going anywhere with a 1 month old and an almost 3 year old alone. haha I'm pretty awesome, but not that awesome!

So my doctor appointment came. We went back for the ultrasound. She couldn't get much on the tummy one so we had to do the other one. Ek! My 1st time doing it that way and the horror look on Wes' face priceless. haha But we got to see the sac and we think we saw for a second the heartbeat but they couldn't confirm. That was disappointing but they said everything looked good. So my plan of scanning and sending that to my parents. Fail. So plan B. Get Aiden to hold a picture with Only Child crossed out and Big Brother below. Fail. He kept wanting to look at the picture...lordy child! So I had to it behind him instead. Silly boy!

Finally came Wes' parents. We had to wait till Friday to tell them because Wes' mom was in Virginia for work. Silly Wes almost spoiled it. Wes' dad came over earlier in the week to borrow our sprayer and Wes goes "Look Dad we painted the crib." O.M.G! I wanted to slap him right there but I didn't say a word and didn't point it out. When we get inside I tell Wes and he was like CRAP I forgot. haha

Well we go over to their house with this shirt on Aiden. (Again he's the worst at sitting still I couldn't get one shot of him where you would see the whole shirt) So we didn't say a word. We brought Aiden in to show them and omg threw the biggest temper tantrum because the other kids were outside and our boy is OBSESSED with being outdoors. Finally Regina takes him out and comes immediately back in "Um....what does his shirt mean?!" hahaha Exactly what it says! Lots of eeks and congrats afters. Haha to come find out Steve never even picked up on the painted crib comment too. hahahaha

So my official due date is 11/26 but since they don't schedule C-Sections the week of holidays it's 11/19, but my doctor said we might even do it the week before. Eek! So excited and SOO much to do!

Remember that dresser I posted a few days back. Well that's for the baby's room. Remember that yellow bar I posted too? Well that's the crib. We were going to go with green, but since we found a dresser already green we wanted something that was gender neutral. And yes we have everything already planned and laid out. haha Just wait for the post.

With that being said I have lots of post sitting in draft mode that I can now post. haha So expect more tonight/tomorrow. I'm also posting about soccer too.

Lastly, I finally planted some flowers in my pots today. Went with something other than Pansies. It's called Salvia and I'm kinda digging them so far.
