And couldn't be happier! I am officially starting my 2nd trimester today! I am 14 weeks along and would have posted this much sooner but our computer has been on the fritz for the last month, so I finally grabbed my camera and cords and headed over to my parents so I could post this.
Doug and I had been trying for a while to get pregnant, taking a pregnancy test started to become more routine than exciting. So when I took a test on sunday morning August 7th, my expectations for a positive test was pretty low. Which is why I (and Doug) almost fell over backwards when we saw this:
We were so over the moon about it but took a few extra tests just to make sure! Sure enough I was pregnant!! Our little baby is due April 18th, 2012.

So now that the first trimester is officially over, I have to say I've been one of the lucky ones who didn't really get too sick. Mostly just extremely tired and loss of appetite for a bit. And now that I am entering my 2nd trimester, I can finally start to see a little baby bump growing which is sooo exciting! 
We had an ultra sound done at 12wks 5 days to hear the heart beat, etc., but we found out so much more! The doctor said that he was 95% sure that our baby is a girl!!!! Of course we won't know for certain for about 6 more weeks, but this doctor sounded pretty sure the multiple times he told us it was a girl!!! This will be the first girl in my family which everyone is so excited about! It is so hard now not to walk by the baby girl section and not want to buy everything I see, but I've been able to restrain myself thus far :)

Doug and I are overjoyed to become parents and are enjoying every step of the process. We couldn't feel more blessed and happy about it. Next step is to clean out the second bedroom and make room for little baby (girl) hansen!
