We’re pregnant! It’s hard to believe this time in our lives has finally arrived. Wow. I had an inkling I may be pregnant, mainly because my temperatures were remaining high, but I’ve spent so much money on pregnancy tests over the last few years (seriously considered investing in stocks!) because of “possible” pregnancy symptoms, that I decided to hold out and not think too much about it. 
Well, not too long after we were scheduled for a follow-up doctor’s appointment, I decided I should at least go in being able to tell our doctor the news – good or not. So, that morning I got up, took the test, and voila – positive! It was both exciting and surreal. It still doesn’t really seem real! I climbed back in bed and trying hard to hold back from my pure excitement, I just played casual and told Nathan that we were pregnant. It took a minute for him to register what I said and then his face was priceless! We were so happy :)
We decided we had to tell our parents first, as this would be the first grandchild for all of them. Not to mention my mom has been stocking up on baby supplies for the last four years. Hehe :) We bought a cake that said “Congratulations Grandma & Grandpa” with some balloons and flowers, and surprised them! We feel so blessed to have both sets of grandparents fairly close, whose support will be invaluable. Nathan had a very special bond with his grandmother, so we realize the importance of having them active in our child’s life.
We debated on keeping the news quiet for at least a few more weeks, especially with the risk of miscarriage. However, after the excitement of sharing the news with our families, we realized it was too hard to keep tabs on everyone and I couldn’t bear to keep my mom silent after she had been waiting for so many years to be a grandma! So, we decided to share the news with friends and well, between Facebook and MSN, news traveled quickly!
We feel SO blessed, so thankful and so amazed at this miracle in our lives. I plan to keep this journal as a chance for our family and friends – especially those from away – to stay connected to our progress as we await the arrival of Baby Parker. Our due date is May 25th – my birthday. :)
