We have a due date!

Our first prenatal appointment was last Thursday to do a general work-up and confirm the pregnancy.  Needless to say, I was extremely worried that everything was too good to be true and something was off, but the visit couldn't have gone better!
I was experiencing a little bit of pain on my lower right side (a slight no-no since one side typically means something is up), so my doctor said I could wait around for an ultrasound to rule out ectopic pregnancy. 
Literally for hours I sat in the waiting room to be worked in when they finally called me back.  I was preemptively told that it was so very early that we may not be able to see anything.... then two seconds later I could see the little bean! Right where he/she is supposed to me, growing like a weed. I was ECSTATIC! I worry about everything and this is just the validation I needed after a long day at the doctor. What a great surprise!  Oh, and little bean will be joining us May 18, 2014!

Our Story Begins

Hello Friends & Family!
Welcome to our cute little blog that will document our journey to bringing home our little one scheduled to arrive in May, 2014!  We are only a few days into this adventure, as I found out on September 7 that we were pregnant (which also would have been Clay's dad's 65th birthday, a day which was already going to be an emotional one).  After months of trying with no luck, I had the sudden urge to take a test after a day of remembering Bryan, and as luck would have it, it was positive! 

Here is the first snapshot before the baby bump pics start rolling in.  Taken a few days after my first positive, because I obviously had to take several tests to make sure it didn't disappear. :)


More updates to come... we are just getting started!
