This is my first attempt at writing a blog. I have never been a good writer, so bear with me. I am starting this blog on suggestion from a few friends and family... When my husband and I got married in November 2013 we decided to wait at least a year before considering having children. Much to our surprise when we found out on our 6 month anniversary that I was indeed pregnant. We decided to tell most of our loved ones so that we have more people to pray for us and that we could have a greater support structure from the start (and I suck at keeping secrets). I struggled for weeks to find an affordable yet reputable OB/GYN and after speaking to a friends mom, she got me an appointment at a fantastic doctor. We were both extremely excited and equally nervous for our first appointment. As I was laying on the not-so-comfortable bed/table at the OB/GYN, seeing the first images of a little peanut brought tears to both our eyes. I think a bit more because of the reality shock than of joy
