Exciting News!!!!!!!

Well, I put this on facebook, but in case you didn't see it:

Roses are red

Violets are blue

I love my hubby,

And our unborn baby too!

That's right! I am pregnant! We are very excited, this has been a long time coming for us, and we are thrilled! I am due on my birthday, August 9th. We will find out the gender in March, it's getting close! So far I think we have a pretty even split between boy and girl votes. I have been extremely sick, in January I lost 14 lbs in 3 weeks, so they put me on some anti-nausea medicine, which has helped. I am hoping I am on the tail end of being sick though, I am about 15 weeks along, which is close to the "no sick" zone! Cross your fingers that it holds true for me, I am ready to actually EAT! :) We told our families as a Christmas present, but in different ways.

My family:

I made a "baby on board" sign and taped it to my shirt over my stomach. And then I zipped my coat over my shirt. We were at my family's house for Christmas Eve and so when we got there I asked my mom if she wanted to see my new shirt. She gave me kind of a funny look and said yes, so I unzipped my coat and showed her my shirt. She said, "Really???" and starting screaming and hugging us. The commotion brought my little sisters into the kitchen and they asked what was going on. I told them that mom really liked my new shirt and showed them the sign. They had similar reactions to my mom. Then, my sister ran into the bedroom where my dad was taking a nap yelling, "Dad, come see Megan's new shirt, come see Megan's new shirt!" He was understandably confused... :) He was also very excited for us and took some pictures, which I will find and post later on. It was a great Christmas Eve present!

Ben's family:

Since we were going to be at Ben's house for Christmas morning we thought it would be fun to give something to his mom to open as a present. We found a cute bib that said, "Grandma said I could" in big letters and we wrapped it and put it under the tree. It was hard to act normal because we had to wait for her turn to open a gift before we could give it to her! She opened it and said, "Oh, my heck!" I think it kind of took a minute for everyone to process exactly what it meant, but it was hilarious, all three of Ben's sisters looked over at me at the exact same time after they saw what it was, it made me laugh! They are all very excited since this is the first grandkid in their family! Thanks goes to my sister in law Kayla who posted the news right away, and then took it back off when I told her I wasn't quite ready to tell the world yet! I was only 7 weeks at the time and wanted to make sure this baby was here to stay!

So, there's the update! I will try to post more now that I actually have something exciting to post about!!!
