Our First Picture of the Baby

We got to have our first ultrasound at 6 weeks. The baby is so tiny, but we could see it's little heart beating. It was amazing!! The heart was not even fully formed yet, but was still in two parts pounding against each other. I am so amazed at how God has planned this pregnancy and how he sustains such a tiny life. We are hoping and praying that the baby stays healthy.

We're Pregnant!!!!

At the end of May we went to see Stephanie's OBGYN for a routine appointment, and found out... WE'RE PREGNANT!!! It was the most exciting news we have ever heard! We couldn't wait to tell our family and friends. This will be our very first child!! We're so excited to be new parents!!
First we told Stephanie's parents. We dropped a few hints in a phone call earlier, and then called them back to tell them the great news when everyone was there to hear. We asked them a bunch of family history questions from when we saw the doctor and got more and more specific about history of childbirths in the family.
We did the same thing with Michael's parents. They finally got it after we asked them about chromosomal abnormalities in births in the family. Michael told his niece Brianna on the phone, and she said CONGRATULATIONS, and then we could here her singing "Aunt Stephanie is gonna have a baby! Aunt Stephanie is gonna have a baby!" Brittany our other niece ScReAmEd in excitement!
They were all so excited for us. And we were excited too!
It has been so fun telling people of our joyous news and thinking about becoming parents!
