We're Having A Baby!!!

Hello everyone!

WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!!!!!!! It has been a while since I posted but all we have wanted to do is shout from the rooftops that we are having a baby!!!!! So without further ado, here is all the news to catch you up!

So, Shannon and I have always wanted children. We talked about marriage and babies basically from the beginning of our relationship. On our third anniversary, May 29, Shannon and I sat at dinner and made the decision that we were going to start trying for a baby in October and what do you know, we got pregnant on our first try!

On October 18, I got a positive pregnancy test and we confirmed everything at the doctors on October 22, my Papa’s birthday and my parent’s 30^th anniversary! It meant so much to us to find out on this day! On this visit we found out that the baby is due June 27, 2014! On November 22, we saw the baby for the first time and we got to hear its heartbeat! The most amazing thing we have seen and heard in our entire lives!

Our family and friends were the first to know. We revealed over the break and we have had such an overwhelming amount of love and support! Everyone is split 50/50 on the baby’s gender but we truly don’t care, as long as the baby is healthy with 10 fingers and 10 toes, we will count our blessings!
