Surprise!

If you are reading this you must of received our holiday Christmas card or have heard the announcement through the grapevine that we are pregnant! We are so excited to finally be able to share this exciting time with you all! Let me tell ya, keeping this secret was hard!!! But, it's all out in the open now so let the fun and catching up begin!
Hint: It's best to start from the beginning of this blog to fill yourselves in on all the exciting details (some not so exciting, sorry to say).

Week 11: Although it was a difficult time this past weekend to share this kind of news with his family, as Chris' father had surgery on Friday to remove the neuroendocrine tumor from his liver. We hope we were able to share some hope for the future in our news for new life. Chris' father is doing well, while recovery is slow. Please continue to hold him and his family in your prayers. Please visit my newlywed page here for more information on Bill and his progress.

As for Chris and I, we are in week 11 of our pregnancy. Thankfully the light at the end of this first trimester tunnel is in sight! Baby is looking more and more human every day. The most exciting milestone - baby bean (hopefully) has all 10 individual fingers and toes (no more webbed hands and feet!). Our baby is about 2 inches in length and is the size of a fig. Although I can't feel it yet, our baby is kicking his/her legs and moving those arms. Work it out, baby bean!

I continue to have my morning sickness up and downs, while headaches seem to plague my every day. But, overall I feel better than weeks past and I'm looking forward to the next couple of weeks! Up ahead: 12 week ultrasound and getting to hear our baby's heart beat for the first time!
