And the pictures begin

Please no judging. I have always wondered why women often opt out of taking the month by month pictures while pregnant. However, I now realize how uncomfortable it is having your husband take a picture of you that is going to be posted for all to stare at your stomach...oh well, here we go!

 6 Weeks

Cheyenne is looking a little pregnant as well haha. 

 Our first ultrasound appointment, Steven surprised me with the most beautiful necklace. They are baby booties!

Announcing our Pregnancy

Steven and I stopped by my parents house on the day of the initial doctors appointment. Natalie was there, and we told her we had picked something up for her from the mall. She opened the box and there was a little frame that said "I Love My Aunt" and inside said "Save the Date, June 14th, 2011" (the date we were told at first). She started screaming, my mom was confused, and I think my dad was in shock. They said they had a feeling we were going over there to tell them that, so they had champagne being chilled. We had a frame for my parents as well. We then went over to the Steven's parents house and gave his mom a bib that said "If mommy says no, ask Grandma". It was a memorable night! We called my brothers as well to tell them (Ronnie is at Virginia Tech, Bradley is at JMU). I haven't heard such joy and excitement in their voices in quite a while. We also called Steven's brother Seneca and his sister Samantha to tell them they will be an aunt and uncle next year. It is so wonderful having so many friends and family so supportive and excited with us. 

 Outside of the doctor's office right before our first appointment!

 First Response was correct, we are pregnant!!!

 At my parents house that evening.

Two weeks later, I couldn't wait anymore and had to tell my best friends. This was the day before second appointment (our first ultrasound). It was our friend Brad's birthday lunch/Sunday Funday for football. Sorry again Brad for "stealing your thunder" haha. Watch the video, it was Steven's idea. 

We're Pregnant!

This is our miracle at 6 weeks! 

Steven woke up and saw our dog Cheyenne laying on my stomach. He told me I "needed to take a pregnancy test". I was feeling fine; however, I took one to please Steven. I was taking a while so Steven walked in the bathroom...I was crying because it actually was positive. Steven ran around the room in circles then joined me with the tears. We are so excited for our new baby.
