Backtracking...

We want to backtrack 4 weeks before we found out about Baby T. Our wedding!

Instead of posting all sorts of personal/private information on Facebook, we decided to share (with those who care) via blogging. We know how difficult it can sometimes be to keep in touch with family and friends and sometimes a written update is much appreciated :).

Thanks again for those of you who came to our special day! We loved being supported by our friends and family. We feel so loved and blessed to have you in our lives. One of our favorite memories was looking around and seeing everyone having a good time.

If you were not able to make it, we would love to share some pictures. We have so many it is truly overwhelming. I will post a couple, but if you are looking for more let us know and we can give you the password to view the photographer's website. We have not ordered any professional photos yet because they are not released until January. We also have not ordered any photos because there are so, so many and hard it's hard to narrow anything down. Picking out photos has been on our "to-do-list" since the wedding. Procrastinators? Yes.

The following pictures are courtesy to Aunt Christine. Thank you!

Big News!

We're pregnant! Fast, right? It was hard for us to believe at first too. At this point we are going on 18 weeks and our sweet little baby is scheduled to arrive May 3rd. You can do the math if you want, but we were married a grand total of 4 weeks before our big surprise. And what a surprise it was! We are thrilled and nervous all at the same time. We have decided to wait to find out the sex. We've been told it's one those few wonderful surprises left in life so we will try to be patient. So far we've been to the doctor three times and things seem to be progressing well. We got an ultrasound at our first appointment (see baby at 8 weeks below), and are going in for our 20 week ultrasound in just a couple short weeks. The baby should look less like a dot and more like a human at that point, we hope.

In other news, we started this blog shortly after our wedding in hopes of sharing a few pictures. I apologize that the posts may not be chronologically correct! Try to bare with us.
