My 1st ever blog post =)

I am so excited to be starting this blog.... because I always said I would start a blog when I found out I was pregnant =) I took the POSITIVE pregnancy test on October 20th, just two days after my best friend of 10 years Tara Tuchon was killed in a motorcycle accident. It was a complete mixture of happiness and sadness when I saw the plus sign appear. I cried and cried some more. I wanted to call Tara... but I couldn't. I know she was the 1st to know anyways because she could look down from heaven. My sister was the 1st person I called to tell, she was so excited! I wanted to tell my husband and parents in a more "special" way. For my husband I went out and bought him a new book for a daddy to be, I put it in a gift bag and gave it to him when he got home from hunting. He bawled, he was so so so so happy. He kissed my belly and hugged me forever! Brendan was dying to tell someone the news so he went on Skype and told my brother Spencer, he is super excited to be an uncle. I bought my parents 5 little baby books and put them in a gift bag and my husband and I brought the bag out to my parents house and told them we had a present for them. They are so excited to be Papa and Mima or Mema (My mom is too young to be called grandma). It was a great day! We decided to hold off on telling Brendan's family the news or our friends. We plan on waiting until Thanksgiving to tell everyone so I will be a little further along. We are so ready to start this pregnancy adventure! Through all the tears I have cried for Tara the thought of the little baby that is growing in my belly gives me something to smile about =) I am due June 28th. 5 weeks and 1 day preganant today.
