Our BIG Surprise

Most of you already know about our big surprise, some of you still don't but here it is...officially...we are having another baby. It came as quite a shock to us! We had made a decision that we were going to sell our house and I was going to move back to AZ with my mom while Ryan stayed in Logan and finished his degree. With him being laid off it was the most economical choice, while defiantly not being the most pleasant. But we had a plan and we felt like it was going to work for us. I could work and save money and he could live really cheap by himself up here and really hit the books and get it done. So much for planning, right?...how does the song go? "if you want to hear God laugh tell him your plans??"

When we got back from Christmas in Arizona we really got to work on fixing up the last few things that needed to be done on the house so that it would be more appealing to buyers. For "some reason" we got majorly delayed on the carpet. It ended up it was going to take about 6 weeks to get it ordered and have the installers install it. We had the realtor lined up to take pictures the day after the carpet was in and everything. Well a few days before it was to be installed I was feeling really sick. For some reason I got to thinking about when my last cycle was and started panicking. I thought well the chances are like 1 out of a million so I'll just take a test to ease my mind. Uh yeah that didn't work.

So here I am, I went to the Dr today and got my official due date. Sept 16th. Everything looks good so far, I'm about 13 weeks. After being an emotional WRECK for like 4 weeks I'm feeling better about it all. We have decided that we need to find a way to stay together, wherever it is. I think if anything that is the purpose of this pregnancy happening right now. To help us realize that our family needs to be together no matter what our financial situation is. We defiantly haven't figured it all out, its still really bad timing, we are even more stressed out BUT...I know now that I love this baby and regardless of everything that is going on its a miracle and seeing it move on the ultrasound screen made it real and filled my heart with love. It'll all work out.
