Big Announcement!

I finally get to announce that Ray and I are expecting our first child in August 2010!!! We're pretty excited, and quite a bit nervous, about becoming parents.

The pregnancy test came up positive on December 13th. We kept quiet all through Christmas, which was really hard. Right after Christmas, we told our parents and swore them to secrecy until we had our first ultrasound. Our ultrasound was on January 11th and all looked well!


We told some family and friends at that point and then it was just waiting to hear the heartbeat again at our midwife appointment last night. She found the baby's heartbeat with no problem - yay!

We are not going to be finding out the sex of the baby ahead of time, so until he/she is born we are calling him/her Norman Jr. Ray came up with the name, of course :)

Can't wait to meet you, Norman Jr!

YAY! I am so happy for the two of you! Does this mean that Ray isn't getting a dog anytime soon? J/K! Couldn't be happier! Leah

Norman Jr. LOVES dogs! :)

Becky said...

That is what I am afraid of. They will gang up on me and demand a dog!

:) guess you just have to be careful about what kind of baby you have! Not exactly sure how you "order" a cat person rather than a dog person... but I'm sure there's a way!
