The Secret's Out!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Adam & I have a lot to be thankful for this year, we have an amazing (and fun!) marriage, wonderful families, and have known for about a month that we're expecting our first baby in July of 2008!

We just can't keep the secret any longer! :)

I'll be entering into my 10th week in a few days, and we saw the baby's heartbeat the day before Thanksgiving. It was an amazing experience to see that little flicker on the ultrasound screen. The ultrasound tech said that everything looked "textbook" and the heartbeat was 176 bpm! We are praying that everything continues to go well.

For those of you who are closest to us, you know that the original plan was to wait 2 years before starting a family. However, we were prepared and ready if it happened earlier...and it did! Our families are ecstatic, and my mother in particular is so happy that she is finally going to be a grandmother.

I'll try to keep this blog updated as the pregnancy progresses...right now there isn't much to tell other than the fact that I am feeling terrible pretty much 24 hours a day. I have less than a month before I'm through the first trimester, so I am praying that the sickness goes away SOON!

Love to you all! -Michelle & Adam
