Our "LITTLE" secret

Andrew and my time as a married couple without kids is starting to come to a close. . . June 17th roughly! Yep we're going to be parents. We're really excited about it! What I'm excited about at the moment is that I'm starting to not feel as sick. THANK HEAVENS! It has been pretty rough, but then I kinda think I'm a wimp when it comes to being sick. . . all day long! Forget the "morning sickness" where is the "day sickness" that everyone forgets to tell you about before you get pregnant. I thought that I'd be ok since practically none of the women in my family got that sick. Well, there's always one isn't there and the one being me. My mom kept saying to me that she felt bad that I was sick, but had no idea how I felt. Being sick has constantly reminded me that I am pregnant and it's unfortunately been a constant reminder to Andrew as well. He has been such a trooper and has helped me out SO much! I couldn't have done it without him.
One morning he made me breakfast and had everything sitting out that I needed including my vitamins. Then he asked me to say the prayer and I started saying it and mid prayer I started bawling because for one the hormones I'm hoping had to do with it and I was just so grateful for him. It was funny looking back on it. He was probably thinking "what have I done to her."
I really don't care what we have, but Andrew really wants a girl. It's pretty cute. I have always thought I'd have a girl first and a lot of my family thinks it's a girl too. Regardless of what it is it'll have cousins close in age on both sides of the family. Only time will tell though. It was also fun telling everyone. Some of the reactions we got were priceless.

I know that things happen for a reason and Andrew and I both know that this little blessing has come to us when it was supposed to. We're both just really excited to start our family. We have been able to really grow and get to know eachother through out the years. We will always look back and cherish that time we had before we had kids. I'm so thankful I have Andrew in my life to share this with. It'll be an adventure for sure, but we think we're as ready as we can be for it!
