WE'RE PREGNANT!!!

For those of you who don't already know... we're pregnant! Tim and I are finally moving past nervous and into excited! I thank God every day that this pregnancy has been so smooth and that he's given us another chance on becoming parents.

Tim and I found out we were pregnant in June and tried to keep it contained as long as possible. I can't believe my mom kept it a secret this long! Good job Mom! My first trimester was spent on the couch. Unfortunately, house projects were not top priority this summer. But on the bright side, I didn't have to work while being nauseous. I told Tim that if we could plan the second child, doing the first trimester during the summer is the way to go for a teacher.

So just after I started the second trimester school started. I am 17 weeks along now, and just told my class and their parents. I sent them a Q & A page hoping to avoid 25 emails and answer any questions ahead of time. I know they won't be too excited, but we'll see. I'm due March 1st, so I'll take off March and April. Then I'll be back for six weeks and finish up end of the year assessments.

I had a doctor appointment yesterday, and everything seems good! Tim and I are going to find out the sex of the baby in about 2 weeks. I'm so excited to finally see the baby actually look like a real baby! At my appointment, the baby's heartbeat was higher, so I think it will be a girl. We don't care either way, but I kinda want a girl and Tim kinda wants a boy (funny how that happens).

So I'll keep you update on everything and hopefully get a belly picture soon :)
