and baby makes three

i'm 10 weeks pregnant! we had our first ultrasound today and found out that our little baby is healthy and everything looks great! other than positive pregnancy tests and a daily relationship with my toilet, i just couldn't believe there was a baby in there. so seeing a little fluttering heartbeat made it completely real!

we decided in august that it was time to expand our family. i was coming off of birth control so we figured it'd take a few months for anything to happen. even with that thought in mind, every month the pregnancy tests would show up negative, it'd be so disheartening. especially when it seemed like everyone and their mom was getting pregnant! it's all i wanted!

finally in january i noticed my boobs (sorry, tmi, i know) were really sore but i didn't feel sick or different or anything. on a friday night i decided to take a test. i told lance i was going to take one and waited the few minutes. we watched a vertical line appear rather then the horizontal we've been getting. BUT pregnant was supposed to be a plus sign, not just a vertical line. so we didn't want to get our hopes up. i told lance i'd take a digital test in the morning to see what it says.

well, at 2:00 i wake needing to pee pretty bad. so, i peed in a plastic cup so i could run two tests from one pee, genius right? the positive sign developed before the digital test and this time it looked more like a positive sign. a few seconds later the digital test confirmed it, it said pregnant!! i walked out of the bathroom and told lance the good news! he was still half asleep so i told him that we'd talk about it in the morning.

going back to sleep was impossible. conveniently a baby story was on tlc so i watched that until about 5 in the morning. when i woke up, i got ready to go to a friends baby shower. do you know how hard it is to be at a baby shower when you found out not only 8 hours ago that you were pregnant? so hard!

so thats our story of finding out about our little babe. be prepared for this blog to be overrun with pregnancy details. the good, the bad and the ugly, you'll hear it all!
