Exciting News!!

Hi! I've been waiting to tell you guys this, but I think its ok now. We have some exciting news...Paul and I are expecting our first baby!!!!!!! ****insert happy dance here****

Woo hoo! We are currently 16 weeks 5 days along, due September 9th. We've been waiting almost 3 years for this (including one earlier miscarriage) and we had to have help to get here (if anyone has questions, let me know). We will probably not stop worrying if everything is alright "in there" until the little one actually pops out, and then we'll have to start worrying about a whole new set of things! But for now, things are going along really well and we are extremely thankful, super psyched, scared, nervous and hopeful:)

Because we like to make fun of each other and try to guess which traits this child might inherit from each of us (P insists that he/she will end up a "nerd" like me!!!) and what's a good post without some pics, here's Paul and I when we were kids:

{I'm on the right, my sister Laura on the left...nice fountain hair!}


{that's Paul...the one in the middle - no glasses - poking out from behind his sister...don't mind her funny faces or knobby knees, she'll kill me if she knew I was posting this on the internet!!!}

So, this is my excuse for not updating the blog as much lately! Sorry! I just can not stay up as late at night like I use to, which was when I got a lot of my extra work done.

Any advice for an expectant mother? Is anyone else out there expecting (congrats)? Struggling with infertility? Thanks for just being here to share in the good news:)
