I found out I was pregnant about ten minutes before leaving for a baby shower. In my head I'd imagined all these great ways that I would surprise Chris when it happened, but I was so shocked and happy that I just ran downstairs and blurted it out. He jumped up from the table (he was working) and said to me, "Are you serious?" It was a pretty special moment.
We had our first appointment at 6 weeks 3 days and were told the baby's due date is 1/1/11. Leave it to Chris and I to have a baby with our birthday between his (12/28) and mine (1/7). A lot is at stake here- perhaps we'll have the first baby born of the new year and will be on the news! Ha.
We finally told our families this weekend- it is SUCH a relief for the secret to be out. We decided to wait for a few reasons: partially because we were still getting used to everything ourselves, partially because we wanted to tell our families around the same time, and partially because we thought Father's Day would be a great day to celebrate the news!
I'm still new to the blog world, but I'll post some pics soon!
