This news is about as surprising as it gets. Just a few months ago I had surgery and was told that I had Endometriosis. In shorter words, I was told that Joe and I would experience great difficulty getting pregnant and to prepare for some setbacks when it came to us starting to try for a baby.
Someone needs to sue our doctor because I am pregnant!
We found out on a whim on July 30th when Joe thought it would be "fun" to see if I was pregnant.
I said something along the lines, "I'd cry if i was pregnant". Well, I was just as shocked as anyone could ever be. I instantly burst into tears (is it bad that they weren't initially happy tears?) and Joe started to jump for joy. Literally. Over the years, I've read countless blogs where girls talk about finding out they are pregnant and having to go buy more tests to "be sure". I never understood that, and quite honestly, I thought it was stupid...if the test says you're pregnant then you are pregnant! The next thing we did was race to the store and buy another test. Three more to be exact. Every single one came back with two blaring pink lines.
We kept the news to ourselves until the next day. We wanted to come up with a cute way to tell our families, so we decided to use our little puppy, Nollie as our muse. We made her a little sweater out of a sock and wrote on it, "BIG SIS!" and waited for my mom and sister to notice while we facetime'd them.

This whole journey has been quite the whirlwind of emotions, but we couldn't be happier to welcome our little peanut to the world. I couldn't have asked for a better support system between Joe, my family, and his family this baby is already loved so much!
Now, the countdown has begun- we find out in less than 3 weeks what we're having. Joe wants a boy and I want a girl, even though secretly I want a boy because having a girl terrifies me... We will just have to wait and see! Regardless of what I've got cooking inside, I know I'll love it no matter what. It's crazy how much love I already have for this tiny baby; I worry so much about it everyday and hope that I can be half as good of a mother as my mom was to me. I've got a lot to learn, and big (designer) shoes to fill, so April 1st, don't arrive too soon I've still got so much to learn.
