let's make it official

Well, we're not sure exactly who knows our exciting NEWS!! So here goes...instead of starting fertility treatments again, we decided to skip straight to the pregnancy part. Yep, WE'RE PREGNANT!! (Well, technically I am.) The day before we were suppose to start the whole fertility saga, I broke down and took a prego test...and very much to my shock and amazement, it was POSITIVE. Yes, we know we have been really slow on posting this. We had to keep it secret for quite awhile because we didn't tell our family until me and Ilie went home for Christmas, and that was not an easy task!! Let's just say...I am a professional liar now! But you can't beat the surprise of coming off the plane with Ilie wearing her "Big Sister" shirt (not that they got it right away)! But they finally caught on and they were more than surprised, especially when I told them I was 3 1/2 months prego. My mom was shocked I had been lying to her for that long. All the family has been equally shocked, because absolutely no one was expecting this...especially not us. But miracles happen, this is our second little miracle and we could not be happier!! I think we still are trying to figure out if it is real...at least I am!!

So I am now 17 weeks pregnant, almost half way...WOW!! Our due date in somewhere between May 30 and June 2. I started feeling the baby move strongly about a week ago, and that just makes it even more of a reality. We went in last Thursday for our ultrasound to find out what we were having, but to our absolute luck...the baby was hiding all the necessary parts! We were a little bummed, but we saw the little head and hands and the heartbeat and that was good enough. We are going to try and have another ultrasound the Friday before we come home, so cross your fingers that the little legs are "uncrossed"! We promise to keep you all more updated! And one last thing...YAHOO!
