New Years Surprise

So our big New Years surprise that I mentioned a couple of posts ago is....I'm pregnant!!!! We had been trying to conceive for 5 months and finally on January 1st, 2015 I took a pregnancy test after I was 4 days late and BAM! A little pink positive line. My cycles had been different every month since I got off birth control back in August. So it was tough tracking my ovulation schedule. Anyway back to the little pink line, I immediately began to cry and laugh at the same time. I called my Nanny, my grandma, who is also my best friend and told her first. She also began to cry. She had been really stressed out with her health and her brother's battle with cancer at the time so she really needed to hear some good news. My husband was over at his Aunt's when I took the test and it was a struggle to not call and tell him immediately. I wanted to surprise him. So after I called my grandma, I called my mom. She was excited but wanted me to go get some more pregnancy tests just to make sure. I had to go get groceries anyway so I picked up a box of the digital tests while I was out. I was out a little longer than my dad thought I should be so he called to hurry me up and take those tests. I took one and sure enough it popped up pregnant 2-3 weeks. I sent a picture of the test to my parents and then they really got excited. When I knew that my husband was on his way home I set up a little card written from the baby, the pregnancy tests, a Spurs onesie (since hubby is a HUGE Spurs fan), and a book for first time dad's. I recorded his reaction when he walked through the door and it was priceless. He was so excited he was jumping and yelling. It was perfect.

I'm due September 8th, three days before Bradley's and a week before my Nanny's. To make it even more exciting, my best friend who I grew up with is also pregnant and she is due September 20th. We are so excited for this journey and I can't wait to document it.

I was so exhausted and busy at work weeks 8 and 9 that I didn't get to take pictures. My hair looks awful too. I've been waiting to get out of the first trimester to get it highlighted.
