Baby

After 11 very long weeks Tanner and are happy to finally be announcing that we have a baby on the way! My due date is June 15th. We had to wait until Thanksgiving to get our families all together, I have two sisters away at school and Tanner's parents are in Cali. So yesterday was the big day and it was great. My mom has known for a while, telling her was the smartest move I've made yet. She's been a huge help.

Weeks 6-10 were not the best of my life, I felt sick all day everyday. But I'm feeling great now. (praise the Lord) Yes we were trying. Well I say trying..... I had thought about it for a few months, I thought Tanner would say I was nuts because we weren't even going to consider trying until we were both 30. But when I said "hey I think I'm ready to have a baby" he said "ok". I think we both thought it would take a little while but the first try worked. It all happened kind of fast which I think is a good thing because knowing me I probably would have freaked out and changed my mind.

So here we are. Kind of in limbo. We won't know what we're having until the end of January so I can't really do anything to prepare. I guess I could start buying diapers right. We have our names picked, (ok the names have been picked for six years) we have the nursery all planned out but can't really do anything until we know. Right now I'm just enjoying talking about it. My first ultrasound is next week so that should be fun. I hope it makes it all a little more real for us. :)

I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving! This year Tanner and I are really grateful for two families that support us so much. And that are so excited about our baby. And all of our friends, everyone has been really happy for us. Most of all we're thankful for a so far healthy pregnancy!

I am also very grateful for Tanner. He is truly going to be an amazing father. He's wanted to be involved in everything. We made all my Dr. appointments so he could be there. Every Wednesday we read a chapter of my "pregnancy week by week" book. When he calls me on his lunch break he always asks how I'm feeling. And if he forgets to ask he'll call right back. He gets me whatever I want for dinner, which has been everything you can imagine. When I was sick I couldn't eat the same thing twice so we've pretty much eaten everywhere. He is so much more patient than I am. He's totally going to be the better parent. :) And that's just fine with me. Although we'll see what happens when he has to get rid of his violet x-box games. Right now he thinks I'm kidding. He's not perfect, he still has "husband/male" moments and makes "husband/male" comments. But thanks to the way I so "lovingly" (ha) explain things to him, he hasn't made the same mistake twice. Really he is amazing and he's been putting up with me so that says a lot. Thanks baby.

Well that's that! We'll keep you posted! Loves to all!
