We're Expecting!

Yes you read it right, we are expecting our first baby this summer! August 11th to be exact. This blog is going to be an attempt to keep family and friends updated on the pregnancy so check back often to see how things are going! I'll try and catch everyone up to speed since we're already into the second tri-mester.

I didn't exactly find out that Shelly was pregnant in the most traditional matter. I was working in Las Veags the week of Dec. 8th and she was coming out to visit that weekend. I woke up at 6 a.m. Friday morning to a text message from Shelly "I think I am pregnant." I was excited and freaked out all at once because I didn't know how she was taking the news. She was a little freaked out to start but I think after we talked it helped settle us both down and just allowed us to be excited. At that time we figured she was probably between 4-6 weeks along. Up to that point she hadn't had any signals that she was pregnant but the last two months have been a different story. She's been pretty sick but it's slowly starting to ease up.

January 2nd was our first of many trips to the doctor. We got to hear the baby's heart beat which was very exciting. We didn't get to hear it for very long but the doctor didn't have any problem finding it. The baby had a heart rate of 170 beats per minute. Now that the first doctors appointment is done we've got plenty of work ahead of us before the baby comes. We'll be converting the office into the nursery which will still leave a guest room...we're guessing we might have a few more visitors late this summer.
