LITTLE BOYER ON THE WAY!

So I know this is about 32 weeks late,, but I figured since the nursery's not completely finished yet and as long as I can still kinda fit into my skinny jeans (with the help of the hair-tie trick of course), I still have time to start my documentation of this amazing, momentous, terrifying, hormonal time in our lives =)

I found out I was pregnant on July 1st 2013, and was able to keep it a secret from my husband for a whopping 36 hours. His birthday is the 7th, and my plan was to share the news with him in some amazing, jaw-dropping, tear-jerking way in front of his entire family written in the sky or something. But since I'm terrible at keeping secrets and was literally about to internally combust from the excitement, I ended up throwing a pregnancy test in a gift-bag and letting him open it when he got home from work the next night. Far from poetic, I know, but I have a bad habit of fantasizing things up in my head to unrealistic proportions and then crying when things never turn out EXACTLY the way I planned.....

So needless to say the last 7 months have been pretty busy and crazy,, my husband handling most of the busy and myself accounting for the crazy. We found out we are expecting a little boy in March and we could NOT be any more excited.We bought and moved into a new house that was closer to our families and more practical for bringing a new baby home to (single-story) and have just about got it set up the way we want. The nursery is coming together nicely and I will definitely be posting pics shortly, once I have a few more details put into place and my OCD senses are satisfied. So far my pregnancy has been pretty awesome:: no morning-sickness, no complications (knock-on-wood), and no stretch-marks (double knock-on-wood). I've been taking chalk-board pics bi-weekly to track my belly growth and have surprisingly been very compliant with keeping up with it. Here's a quick recap of the last 7 months of our lives!

And of course, this weeks chalkboard pic, 32 weeks =)

 

So I don't really expect for many people to read this blog, mostly family members and a few close friends that I nag incessantly until they agree to go check it out. But its mostly for me and my own piece of mind so I know that I did SOMETHING to document my pregnancy and didn't just coast through it, because I would hate to wake up one day and not remember how crazy wonderful our lives are right now, and regret not writing down all the amazing details of these experiences. My husband will totally thank me for this one day =)
