The Stick Said Yes

August 3, 2009. Doesn't really sound too special, but for me it was the day our life changed. After a quick trip to Brownwood and Schlitterbahn, I made it home to Lubbock and went straight to the bathroom. I couldn't wait any longer. The stick said yes. Positive. Nick and I are going to have a baby. Most of you who read my blog already know this, but I figured I should probably document this amazing discovery.

August 4th I had bloodwork to confirm. August 7th and 8th we told our parents. Sept. 14th we heard the heartbeat and saw our little one for the first time. My belly is beginning to round out some and the nausea and fatigue are pretty much gone. We are super excited and a little freaked out at how fast April 4, 2010 will probably get here.

Here are some pictures of the first few months of our journey.

Shame on me!

Since my last post a lot of time has passed, but it doesn't seem like too much has gone one. I worked all summer at Savannah Oaks, made some good money and some good friends. Nick is now a registered EMT, is a little over a month into the fire academy and recently turned 30. We celebrated our 2 year anniversary, on August 18th, with a little fire academy and a new student orientation thrown into the mix. Needless to say, we didn't spend a whole lot of time together on our big day, but it's about a life, not just a day. I promise to be better about my posts. Here are a few pics from this summer.
