Hidden Baby Blog - November 21, 2010

We just got back from a quick weekend in Kingsland, TX, and the secret is out to Michael's parents, brother and sister! We left Friday after work to surprise them with the news. We didn't get into Kingsland until around 12:30 a.m., but Michael was too excited to wait until the morning to tell. Michael's dad was already awake, but we had to go wake up his mom. We brought in a letter that we said was an "anniversary present" (It was also his parents 27th anniversary on Friday) It was actually the letter from the baby. They figured it out pretty quick what was going on, and there were lots of hugs and tears.

Can't wait to tell my side of the family on Thanksgiving!

Well we went to the doctor on Thursday, and it's confirmed...we're going to have a baby!! I am 5 weeks, 5 days along. We are seriously so excited. It feels a little more real now that we've been to the doctor, but it's still crazy! I have no pregnancy symptoms at all (knock on wood), but that could all change the further along I get. But so far, so good!

We think we've decided on how we're going to tell our families. We are going to have a letter written to our parents from the baby. The whole letter is really cute and it's pretty sneaky about giving the secret away. They probably won't realize what is going on at first, but they'll figure it out pretty quick :)

We're going to Kingsland next weekend to tell Michael's parents. It's their anniversary, so we think it will be the perfect time. We'll be here in OKC for Thanksgiving, so we plan to tell my parents then. We probably won't be announcing it to friends until December. We go in for our ultrasound the first week in December, so we'll wait to make sure everything is ok and then make the announcement! It's tough because we found out so early and we've been dying to tell everyone! But we're trying to have patience and we know it will be worth it when we do tell everyone :)

Our next appointment is November 22, so we'll let you know how it goes!

I Love Fall

The title of this post says it all. I've always loved fall, but this year it has probably been the best ever. A LOT has happened since my last post. I've started my new job teaching 3rd grade, which I LOVE! We've sold our house, bought a new one and moved in. Michael had his 26th birthday. And there is still so much going on! We are having a blast, which is why I haven't written in a while. We've been busy! I'll have some house pics to post soon. In our new house, I'm getting to actually decorate because we have room! We doubled the amount of space we had in our old house. It's amazing. I'll write again very soon and include pictures, and I promise it won't be 4 months :)

We've known for 5 days now that we are going to have a baby, and it has been SO hard not to tell everyone we know!! We just got back from a trip to Phoenix for Michael's grandmother's 80th birthday party. Everyone on Michael's side of the family was there. I mean EVERYONE: parents, siblings, grandma, aunts, uncles, etc. We were dying to tell them! But, we know I'm probably only 3 or 4 weeks along, and we haven't even been to the doctor yet, so we've decided to keep our lips sealed no matter how hard it is. And believe me, it's HARD! So I'm apologizing in advance to all of the family when they find out we knew while we were there :) Just know we can't wait for you all to find out! Our first doctors appointment is this Thursday at 9:45 a.m., so until then....

Hidden Baby Blog - November 2, 2010

Welcome to our baby blog!! We are sooo excited to announce that we are pregnant!! We just found out today, so no doctors visits have happened yet, which is why we decide to start this blog. Some good friends of ours had a hidden baby blog going until they revealed the exciting news so that they could keep track of exciting things even though they weren't telling anyone yet. I loved the idea, so here we are doing the same thing!

I took a pregnancy test this morning before I went to work. It was positive! BUT, being somewhat of a skeptic, I thought for sure the test was broken and decided not to tell Michael until I had gotten more tests to confirm. Well, I took 2 more tests and guess what....positive! So, when Michael and I got home I had an "early birthday present" for him to open. Yep, it was the tests! Needless to say, we are both so happy :)

We haven't decided yet when or how we are going to tell our family and friends, we just know we're not doing it yet. We definitely want to see the doctor and make sure everything is ok first. But as soon as we have decided, I'll blog about it!

Get excited for Baby White 2011!!!!
