A Quick Recap!

Three and a half years ago is where it all began.  This was the day Nathan and I got married.  Nathan is the sweetest guy on earth.  He puts up with all my sillyness and helps balance out my very much type A personality.   He has helped me learned to relax and go with the flow.   I love him dearly and I feel like the luckiest girl on earth to have him.  Here is us on the big day and then us this past July.





Here is the most precious gift I ever received. This is Roxi.  I got her for my college graduation present.  She is now 4 years old.  Get use to seeing her in a lot of pictures!  She is the sweetest, cuddliest, and kissiest dog you will ever meet.  I am a little biased...can you tell?!                                                                                             It has just been us 3 for the last 3 1/2 years until late November when we found out we were pregnant!  As I mentioned earlier I am a huge planner and think we need our whole lives planned out in sharpie ASAP.  Nathan on the other hand whose favorite saying is, "We will see" had other things in mind for us.  So the baby discussion began and I quickly figured out we were getting nowhere because I guess I wanted to know the exact day we were going to start trying to have a baby and he could not tell me that.  So, I was on the last week of my pills in one of my packets and he finally gave the okay and said, "I guess you don't need to start a new pack." But, he made me promise that I would not tell a soul that were off birth control.  This was very difficult because for 1 my family tells each other EVERYTHING!!!  For 2- just to keep something so huge a secret was very hard.  But- I was very proud of my self and never told anybody.  So, it was late November and I was like 4 days late and that is very unusual for me and I just knew I was pregnant, but also felt like I was just being silly.  So, I went to work that Monday and got very nauseous and so I immediately went and bought a pregnancy test.  So, I took if before Nathan had gotten home and it showed up positive.  It was a very faint line-but it was there!  I checked several times to make sure I wasn't crazy.  So, when Nathan got home I was just grinning from ear to ear and told him that I was about 99% sure I was pregnant.  His response-- a smile and , "Are you sure you took the test right?!" So, then I kept the huge secret that I was pregnant for about 2 more weeks.  So, I guess I was about 8 weeks and Nathan's mom and dad came over one Saturday morning and Nathan is signaling me across the room with head gestures that I can tell!  If you know me I am very literal and need things spelled out in black and white.  So, I am trying to figure out if he he really telling me to do what I think he is.  So, I finally decide that he is saying that I am allowed to tell so I tell his parents and then we went to tell my family.  My family was very shocked considereing they did not even know we were trying which made it a blast revealing the big secret to them.  I am now 20 weeks along and I am due August 1st.  Here is this weeks baby bump!
