We are welcoming a new bundle of joy to our family!

You read right... We're having a baby!  Due June 25, 2012!

This whole blog thing is new to me but I wanted to keep a journal of this exciting journey!

It all began two weeks ago on Sunday, October 30.  Being 10 days late was not normal for me so I decided to take a home pregnancy test.  So much was running through my head when the "+" result showed up.  I had always thought I would do something special/creative for Jason when I found out but instead I went right up to him and simply said "I'm pregnant"! (To the point, huh?) Our heads haven't stopped spinning :)

This would explain some things...  bathroom breaks all day/night, wanting to take 12 naps a day, and some VERY sore... OK, never mind!  I could get detailed but I'll spare y'all!

We couldn't wait to tell the grandparents-to-be! We went over to Grandma and Grandpa Gillund's (on Tuesday 11/1) and interrupted their dinner with our news.  We called Grandma and Grandpa Dixon the next night and spilled the beans to them.  We can't wait for EVERYONE to know!

We plan on telling the rest of family on Thanksgiving.  After all, we have a lot to be thankful for!

On Tuesday, November 8, we went for our first Dr's appointment!  He informed us of the due date - June 25, 2012!  We talked about some do's and don't's, what to expect, and next time we will listen for heart tones!

Uncle Greg and Aunt Mary Jo took Jason and I out to dinner this past Friday for my late birthday celebration.  When I opted for water Uncle Greg grew suspicious.  "Water?  At your birthday dinner?"  OK, OK.  You're going to be aunt and uncle for the 4th time!

That's about all for today.  Stay tuned!
