First Comes Love... Then Comes Marriage... Then Comes...

A BABY!!!!!!!!!!

Ben and I are SOOOOOO excited it's not even funny!!!!
After "not-not" trying since July 2013, we got a little more intentional the last month.
We always believed 100% it would be on God's time, not ours.
After 9 months of "Not Pregnant" on the home pregnancy tests,  I wanted to curb my disappointment.
So, a week before my all-inclusive, all-expenses paid trip thanks to my Rodan + Fields business where I knew we'd be wined and dined everywhere I looked, I took an early PT.
"Not Pregnant"
I figured, it's not on God's time yet.
So, I went on the trip.
It was AHHHHMAZING.
And we were wined and dined to the nines!! The doctors left nothing on the table!
So I got home that Sunday, April 6.
When Monday came and Aunt Flow was a no-show, I didn't think much of it.
Exhaustion, stress....
It didn't come Tuesday.
Or Wednesday.
So, that afternoon meant a trip to Target.
Ben really wanted to be there for the whole thing. So, I did my thing and we waited...
I got the digital test this time just in case.
And......

 PREGNANT!!!!

It even told us how far along - 2-3 weeks!
We were in shock.
And we cried. A lot.
And I was totally shaking.
We're having a BABY!!!
One of Ben's first questions was what this will mean to our workouts... ha.
He also continues to refer to the baby as a HIM.
We'll find out soon enough!

We had our first doctor's appointment at 8 weeks on Cinco de Mayo.
We got to hear and SEE the heartbeat!
I didn't know you could actually see it.
Talk about emotional!

8 Week Ultrasound

Due date: December 14
Talk about an incredible Christmas gift!!!!
God is so good.
And we feel so blessed!
