As most of you may already know and for those of you who don't...Guess what...we are going to be parents!

I am about 10 1/2 weeks right now and overall feeling pretty good. I haven't thrown up yet but i have gotten close! I am much more tired. I could seriously sleep all day if i didn't have to go to work. And the times that i get nauseated are when i need to eat but nothing ever looks good. I keep saltine crackers in my purse at all times. =]

So...for journaling reasons here is how it all happened. Pehrson and I decided to go on a bike ride one night and as we were riding around i thought, "hey i haven't had my period in a long time, maybe lets go to the store and get a p-test" I have taken the test a couple months before always having a negative result. But, for some reason this time it just felt different. After looking at the million different types and brands we decided to go with the cheapest one. We brought it home, i did what it said and low and behold there were TWO distinct lines. Pehrson looked at me and i said "no way!" of course i started crying (cause thats what i do) and we were both ecstatic. We looked at that stick for a couple minutes, took some pictures. And thought this is real...

WE are going to bring a child into this world!

We are responsible to teach this person everything and to watch it grow!

Lots of emotions running through my head. But really the most important was that i knew it was right. If you know me well enough you would know that i have always struggled about deciding what career i want to have. I have played around with SO MANY different careers that sound like the perfect one for me but deep down knowing what i really want to do is to be a mom. As cliche as that sounds, its the truth. I think this world needs more mothers. Children need that example in their life as well as a Father. And so many kids don't get that. I am so grateful I got my education cause I know that it will help me in my life forever, and who knows I could still always go back to school if I want. But I have never felt so sure about something in my entire life. (besides getting married of course)

I can't wait for my life to start. To do what I am here on this earth to do and to teach one of Heavenly Fathers children right from wrong. To be the shoulder to cry on, the ears to listen and the voice to give advice. I had the best example you could ever ask for. My mom was and still is my best friend. She will stop anything and put all her attention on me. I just pray that I can be half the mother that she is.

We have seen the little baby twice now and it really is amazing to know that my body is forming another body. I don't know how anyone can't believe in God after going through an experience like this. Hearing the heartbeat and seeing the arms and legs grow is breathtaking.

What a miracle!

We love this baby already so much and it's not even here yet. I don't know how much love one could have for another but i'm pretty sure Pehrson and I are already full of it for this little guy/or girl! We can't wait to be parents and enter into this next chapter. We are SO ready! i think...

And maybe we will get a blonde one...cause i'm pretty sure you can't get much blonder than this...

But you never know... =]

We are SO excited for you baby! Make december 11th come sooner than later!
