I am so thankful for the many blessings in my life -- especially my family. i am so lucky to have a handsome husband who i love dearly and who i love sharing the journey of parenthood with -- we are so truly blessed to have our beautiful Ruby in our life. She brings such joy and excitement and now we're lucky enough to be expecting a sibling for her. We can't wait to have this new baby join our life. We are now officially 8 weeks and looking forward to landmarks of 10 weeks and 12 weeks so we can really feel comfortable in sharing our news. i am looking forward taking Ruby to have her pic taken with Santa with her cute little Big sister to be t-shirt so that we can announce the news to our families during the 10th week and share with everyone the 12th week.
We are just looking forward to knowing that our little fetus is healthy and growing.
So much to be thankful for!!!!

We went for an ultrasound and drs appt on Tuesday -- we are in indeed preggars and were able to see the tiny mite on an ultrasound as well as hear the heartbeat which i think is a good sign. i am now 7 weeks pregnant and anxiously looking forward to hitting 10 weeks and then 12! That will make me feel more confident. After our previous loss i am just really hesitant to get too excited but i don't want to short change this baby and myself of being excited either so i'm trying to balance my emotions, etc. regarding that! :) i think we'll tell our parents at 10 weeks - JD is going on a trip with his fam to celebrate Adam's graduation from Embassy Training so i think we'll send a pic of Ruby along with a "Big Sister to Be" t-shirt to announce it to them all at once. My parents and brother will have to wait for snail mail. With Betsy and Jake right here it was too hard to keep a secret -- especially because i will need their support should we have problems again and it will make it easier if they know. My big plan is to take Ruby for a santa picture with her new shirt on...hopefully that will work out. i don't really want to tell her until Christmas -- because i know i wouldn't be able to handle explaining that we had lost a baby. Should be a fun surprise to tell her Santa left a baby in my tummy so she can be sister...maybe that will screw with her mind when she's older though....oh well we have about 4 weeks yet to figure it out. i can't believe that November is almost over and the holiday excitement will be beginning soon....CRAZY!!! i think it will be fun to announce it to everyone for christmas though!

So exciting -- took a pregnancy test last week Wednesday and it already showed that i was pregnant! How awesome!!! A little nervous/gun shy after our loss in August but optimistically looking forward to Thanksgiving as that will put us at 8 weeks and then to Christmas as that will put us at 12 and we can announce our good news to everyone in our lives!
Looks like this little bundle is due in July which is good timing....
