Marriage has truly been amazing so far......we have learned a lot, have done many things we never thought we would or could do, and have fallen deeper in love because of it. Now, here comes the baby carriage! From the beginning of July, I had not been feeling that great. We went to Atlanta, had a BLAST, but especially at Six Flags, I needed to rest every few minutes. For those of you who know me well, you know that I GO GO GO, and for me to sit down was killing me! :)
Eric and I have always talked about having precious little ones with our genes, but our plan was to start trying this coming March. Instead of trying this March, God decided he was going to give us a baby in March! Actually, March 14th! Our second anniversary! How cool is that!
On July 14th, when I woke up, I told Eric Iwas going to buy a pregnancy test just to rule that out b/c like I said, I had been feeling weird. So, I went to the store, bought the test, and decided right then that I needed to take it. Well, I took both of them in the box, and it says to wait 3 minutes, friends, those tests took 10 seconds, and then they both said PREGNANT! I could NOT believe it! I took a huge deep breath, and first said OH MY GOODNESS!!! I am going to be a mommy, then I thanked God for the awesome miracle he gave us, and then I called Eric. We went to have lunch together, and as soon as he got in my car, I looked at him and started to cry! I handed him the pregnancy tests, and we both looked at each other and smiled with JOY! Eric said, "Are you serious? Really? What a blessing!!" That was the sweetest response ever! I thought to myself, this is why I married this man!!! He is precious!
Well, we were going to wait the normal 8-12 weeks to tell our families, but we were toooo excited, we told them 2 days later! We figured that God would take care of us and the baby, and we were so blessed to have gotten pregnant, that we just could not wait!
So far so good, I had a rough first trimester with the nausea, but not it is gone (hopefully!) and I have LOTS more energy! Yesterday I cleaned the whole house, had friends over, cooked a dessert, and still was wide awake when they left! That rocked!
Well, I will keep you updated on this little bundle of joy we call, "Baby J" (for Jackson!)

We cannot WAIT to see what the Lord has in store for us, becoming parents is going to be sooo amazing!

I'm so glad I answered my phone when you called me. Remember? I was getting ready (and already late) to leave for our 5 day camping vacation trip to a Christian music festival. Thanks for sharing with me and thanks for being my friend, friend!
