The post you've been waiting for!!

By now, most of you already know out big news, but for those of you that don't.....
WE'RE PREGNANT!!!
I've been waiting to post until all the familly knew and until we felt that we were past the "danger" point. I am 12 weeks today!! I found out on January 30th. It was a rainy Tuesday night and Rusty was at basketball. I had this really nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach when I decided to take the test. I honestly, 100% thought it would be negative, as about 100 tests before had been. But, lo and behold, this was what showed up:

I really could not believe my eyes! I just got all this nervous energy and didn't know what to do with it, so I cleaned my house!! It felt like forever for Rusty to get home from basketball. I had put the pregnancy test in the bottom of a package he had received that day but not opened yet-it was the package with his PE stamps (he just passed his professional engineering exam and had been waiting on his stamps to come in the mail). So, when he got home, I told him he had gotten his package. He opened it and took all the stamps out but of course, didn't see the test in the bottom! I told him to look in the box because there was one more thing in there. Later he told me that at first, when he looked in the box, he thought it was an exact-o knife!! haha :) But then when he realized what it was, he got so excited and it was just so cute. Here is our reaction right after Rusty saw the test.

I'm hoping to share all the joy, excitement, fears and adventures I have in these next 7 or so months with you! Most of you know how long we've waited for this to happen and I can't even begin to tell you how excited we are. Don't get me wrong, it still hasn't completely sunken in that I am actually pregnant, but I'm sure that will come more and more each day.

I do have some belly pics to share and even an ultrasound photo but I'll post those in my next post! In a future post I will share our story and the struggles we had getting pregnant. All I will say for now is that God is good and we just held on to the promise that His timing is perfect!!

We love you all and are so excited to be sharing this journey with you!!
