MERRRRRRRRRRY CHRISTMAS!

As many of you already have heard we are expecting an early Christmas gift this December. Baby Tippets is due to join our little family around December 16th! We are so beyond thrilled to welcome this little one into our arms.

This is Trev holding the pregnancy test the night we found out. 

We went and saw the doctor yesterday to confirm that everything was looking good. Our little peanut was wiggling and moving like you wouldn't believe! It was kind of shocking--THIS was why I felt like puking my guts out every few hours? Totally worth it. Trevor commented later that the baby was moving so much because he/she probably has ADD--just like him. We laugh about it now but we may not be laughing when we have a rambunctious 3 year old running around.

 I measured at 10 weeks so we are on the downhill stretch for the first trimester. I LOVED the doctor that I saw. She was so personable and very supportive of how I wanted to experience labor and delivery, which I haven't really started to think about.

To those of you who only just found out--I'm sorry it wasn't sooner but we felt we should take some precaution and did not feel comfortable sharing this news until we had been in to see the doctor. After the ultrasound it all felt so much more real. We are going to be parents. Weird!

 So the reason I wasn't blogging was because every time I went to type something I just wanted to spill the beans. I will try and refrain from posting TOO much detail of this pregnancy because I know many of you would prefer not to know every nitty gritty detail. I will just leave that stuff for my personal journal.

Thanks to everyone for their support and prayers and love. We sure feel blessed and know that this baby came in perfect timing. (I will graduate in December--FINALLY!)  I thought I knew when the perfect time would be but God had other plans--better plans. I am feeling totally humbled already and admit that my impatience was a great indicator of something I seriously lack.

Here is our cute little peanut. The "Hi Mom" was inserted by the OB/GYN. Nice touch eh?
