So this is my first entry

I started the other two journals much earlier than this one, but there's been so much going on.

So here's what we know. I'm pregnant, and due on July 10th, 2006. We will have an ultrasound somewhere around February that will tell us if this baby will be a boy or girl.

We told our familes on Thanksgiving day. We told Steven the night before and he was thrilled! He's very happy about having a little baby. I think he really loves the thought of having someone to depend on him. Christopher is out growing that a bit now.

So anyway, we told him that it was his secret that Mommy had a baby in her belly, and he could tell the families when he wanted to. After dinner at Ted's house, he decided to tell Grandma. I think they were excited, but I mean, it is our 3rd after all...who get's giddy after you' ve done it twice?

So then we went to Nana's house, and Steven told them the same way. He whispered it to Nana, and she told everyone else. Of course, she said that she had suspected it from the beginning. Oh Nana, you know everything before others do, don't you?

So now we play the waiting game. We have lots to do, get the boys into one room, redo Steven's old room into a nursery, lots of stuff to buy, possibly a trade in on Daddy's car, etc. It'll be a busy 7 months.

Overall though, we're excited, Steven is really excited, and I think it will turn out for the best. It will be a hard couple of years adjusting again, but that baby stage is alot of fun. I can't wait to see how Steven reacts to it, since he'll be 5 when the baby is born.

Next appt: December 22nd. Ultrasound.
