the beating of a little, little, little heart...

Today we went to the doctor and heard the baby's heartbeat.  It was just about the coolest thing I have ever heard.  No, it was the coolest thing ever.  Steve and I were very excited.  At first she couldn't find it, but then, out of nowhere, there it was.  thudthudthudthudthud... so fast... a perfect 160 beats.  That's even what the doctor said, perfect! :)  We also got our Christmas tree today... so all in all... a REALLY good day!!! :) :) :)

Long time and good news...

So, it has been awhile since I've posted anything... Sometimes there is nothing to say, and sometimes everything but not enough time to do it in... 

November was full of thanks, obviously... It was great to spend so much time with family and friends.  My mom came to visit for a few shopping filled days.  We took a road trip to Penn State for the MSU vs Penn State game.  The game was a total bust, but we had a great time. The pictures I have yet to post can almost prove it.  Everyone I was with almost remembers it too! Thanksgiving was also a great time with family!!!  :)  My parents and grandma came with Steve and I to his cousin Kim's house in Fenton.  The house was bursting with family and a great day to be thankful for.  We all shared things we were thankful for... Steve and I were able to double up our answer with our amazing announcement... we were thankful for the baby growing in my tummy!  It's true.  I'm pregnant!  It has been so hard keeping the secret, but now that I am 12 weeks along we have decided to really start sharing our news.  The baby is due June 23 and tomorrow we go to the doctor to hear the baby's heartbeat.  I am positive it is going to be an incredible experience!  We are SO excited and really enjoying this time.  It's been weird- especially now that my clothes are getting tighter. :)  Our families are also very excited- I think we really shocked Steve's family.  It's the first and only grand and great grand child on my side and the first Boss baby to come along in QUITE awhile.  We are still kind of getting used to the idea, but now that I need to get new clothes... it's sinking in! :)  And Steve REALLY loves that buying new clothes part! :)
