Do You See What I See?

Yup, that's right, it's a baby!!

Mike and I are excited to announce we are expecting our first baby next year! Right now I'm 15 weeks along which puts my due date at June 14 ,2014. We are so excited to expand our family! Its been a crazy couple of months in our house and we're so happy that all of our fertility treatments finally worked. For those of you wondering, yes this is an IUI baby so not a normal conception but we already couldn't love our baby more! (I'll post more about our fertility journey later)

We've known we were pregnant since October 4th when we were 4 weeks pregnant. We got to hear the heartbeat for the first time at 6 weeks and it was amazing to be able to hear it and see it. We got to see our baby again at 9 weeks and hear the heartbeat again. Since we had to go through IUI to get pregnant we've gotten to have lots and lots of ultrasounds that other people don't get and we've gotten to see our baby a lot more than normal which is fine with me. If I could I would have an ultrasound every day just so I could hear and see my little baby whenever I wanted. Our most recent ultrasound (pictured above) was at 12 1/2 weeks along. We'll get to find out the gender in about 8 weeks.



This was how we told our parents :) We surprised my parents by showing up at the house and gave them this cookie cake. They were so excited! Enjoy the pictures!
Hi everybody! Can't wait to meet you!

PS: Thank you to all of the people who have known and kept our secret and a special thank you to the people who supported us during the fertility stuff and were extra patient with me. It was a small group of people but you have no idea how important each of you were both directly and indirectly.
