The night before Thanksgiving Shawn and I were very surprised to discover that we are having a baby, one of our very own! Needless to say, it made every holiday this holiday season more meaningful to us. Even though we were pretty much still numb on Thanksgiving we drove around after I worked looking for places for dinner and saying over and over again how surprised we were. We came home empty handed after over an hour of driving around. We obviously weren't to focused on places to eat.
first picture of 2011 we really weren't that lame ALL night
On New Year's we thought about all that 2011 is bringing onto our plate. It is a year that dreams are coming close to reality for us. Even though it makes me very nervous, since we can't even keep track of a dang set of keys, we are taking it one step at a time! Shawn is finally applying for Medical School this year in the beginning of June, and hopefully sometime before this year is over we will find out where we will be spending the next few years of our lives. Our baby will be joining us at the end of the summer, technically my due date is the beginning of August, but the original due date was July 28th. I might just keep that date in my head since it seems so much closer with the word July in front of it. By that point Shawn will hopefully be able to relax with his applications and just be ALL OURS to enjoy.
We are ever so grateful for this opportunity. Working where I work, I feel like I see babies who start out their lives on a rough road day after day. A healthy baby seems almost to rare and good to be true. Shawn and I will be so relieved when we know that our baby is healthy and safe. Our first ultra sound showed just a small little peanut. Today our ultra sound showed arms and legs and actually looked like a real baby! We already think every limb is the very cutest it could possibly be.
We love you little sweet pea. Already in the past 11 weeks and 3 days, you have changed us for the better..we are very grateful for you, we LOVE you.
