We found out at the beginning of January (at my niece, Virginia's, 2nd birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese) that we are going to have a little one. Yes, Chuck-E-Cheese. We were running late to Virginia's party, when I started feeling extremely nauseous. We stopped and picked up a test, then rushed to the party. Neither one of us could stand to wait until we left to take it. I'll never forget seeing Dave standing by the ski-ball game and nodding my head yes slowly in disbelief. I'm pretty sure his mouth hit the floor. We told Mammie, Papa, and MoMo at the party then left to tell Dave's family. I was only about 3 weeks pregnant at the time, but Mammie told the whole world. We didn't mind...we couldn't quite hold the news in ourselves. After the initial shock wore off, we were ecstatic.
So that began this chapter in our lives. It has been the most exciting, nerve-wracking, and emotional time of our lives. I can't believe in 7 short months I will be a mom. It is mind blowing. I absolutely cannot wait to meet the little person growing inside of me. I am due September 20th and am counting down the minutes! It's going to be one hot summer.
