This Sunday will be my 26th birthday. I've never been one of those girls who get upset that she's getting older. I actually enjoy it. I still get comments about how I look like I'm 19, so I love busting out my age and saying "HA!". I know some day I will be grateful I do not look my age, but until then, I hate it.
So, let's see...what major events happened in my 25th year? These are in chronological order, btw.
* I found my two oldest sisters. One of my lifelong dreams happened and we haven't looked back since. We still haven't met, but we talk as much as we can. The time difference really gets in the way of that!
* I got married. I married a wonderful man, who loves me and is so sweet to me, no matter how hateful I am to him.
* I started grad school. What a ride this has been! There are days I wonder what in the world I was thinking and I really hope that goes away soon!
* And the biggest thing to happen to me?? I found out I'm pregnant with my first baby!! Last Thursday night, I was home alone and bored. I decided to take a HPT, just knowing it was going to be negative. Can you imagine my excitement when two lines popped up?? I couldn't believe it! I took three that night and three the next day. I've taken a grand total of seven HPTs! I had my first visit w/ the doctor to confirm thru bloodwork and it was positive, as well. Our first ultrasound is December 8th and I cannot wait! Our due date is July 9th.
And so, it's been a secret for the last six months we were TTC and to contain that secret, I became a member of The Bump. Their message board, Trying To Get Pregnant, was a life saver. I met so many amazingly wonderful ladies through that board and I just know that I will always be in contact with them somehow! I follow some of their blogs on here, and if you ever want some new reads, definitely check them out. Like I said, they're amazing ladies and they definitely made the last six months less stressful!
I'M GOING TO BE A MOMMY! Words cannot express how happy I am, but at the same time I'm nervous and scared. I'm in charge of another life. And although I've been told I'll be amazing mom, what if I screw this child up severely?? Thankfully for me AND the bebe, I have my wonderful husband to prevent this from happening.
So, prepare yourselves...there will be all kinds of baby talk on here! :)
Can't wait to see what my 26th year holds in store for me!

I've got the fever...
I've always wanted children, but never have I felt like I have "baby fever". That is, until now. Kevin and I had talked about starting to try around our one year anniversary and I was totally content with that. However, after seeing Emma Friday, Saturday and Sunday, plus seeing the bank courier's 4 month old grandson yesterday and seeing Tanzi so much, I now have baby fever. In a bad way!
There are so many of my friends who are pregnant or have just had their babies. There's probably at least 15 of them, no lie. And every one of them are little girls, except two! I love listening to their pregnancy stories and love looking at pictures of the nurseries they've all decorated. I have some baby showers coming up and I can't wait to start shopping the baby section.
Kevin and I have been playing around with names, too. Its fun to think of different names. However, he wants very plain, everyday names. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I don't want my child going to school with ten kids that share their name and they have to be known as "Joshua 1" or "Ashley 2" (sorry, Ashley! haha!). According to him, I want names they'll never be able to spell! I don't want anything too far out there (like Apple or Mowgli Bronx), but I would like for it to be somewhat unique. We've picked one name out for a boy and a few names for the girl. We always go back to the same middle names. I know by the time we actually are pregnant, it'll change 100 times, but its still fun!
Kevin sleeps like a rock and I'm constantly telling him that will have to change once we do have a child. He also has no idea how much of the bed he takes up, so him rolling over our sleeping child is a definite possibility! I don't want them to sleep with us anyway, so that just gives me some extra motivation to stay strong!
Once we do start trying, we're keeping it a secret. I know I wouldn't be able to handle all the questions people would ask, especially if we're having a hard time conceiving. Just know that it'll be by the end of the year! :)
