Preggers!

We had a Valentine's Day surprise this year when we found that we will be expecting our first baby in October 2008! I took a few at-home tests and when they screamed "You are pregnant!!!" I called Kristie at work and made her go to the Dr. with me. When we left, we realized that people in the office probably thought we were a lesbian couple having a baby! After they confirmed it, we came up with a scheme to tell Brad. We bought a cute little onesie and wrapped it up for Alex to give to Brad. I told Brad that Alex (my Godson; the ringbearer in our wedding) had a Valentine for us so we went out to Kristie and Jose's that night. Alex gave Brad the package and Brad was so confused when he pulled out the onesie that he thought Kristie and Jose were pregnant! Now that really would have been a surprise.

At this point we're just cruising along. I haven't had any sickness, which I am very thankful for, and my regular clothes still fit. Brad's dreading the day my clothes no longer fit because it will be a great excuse to shop for a new wardrobe. And of course I will need work clothes, casual clothes, boat clothes, swim suits.....

The baby is due October 12, which also happens to be Kristie's 30th birthday! I guess her party will have to wait a few weeks because I plan to celebrate with her and that will be difficult with a basketball in my belly.

We hope Lucy will adjust to having the baby around. Brad thinks she'll be jealous but I think she's going to be very protective over her new little brother or sister. At least she'll have a new playmate since Brad wouldn't let me get another puppy for her! :)
