Blueberry Surprise!

We found out we were expecting (a baby that is!) on September 29th, 2010 and we couldn't have been happier! I was a few days "late..." 6 days to be precise... and on that Friday morning we talked about whether we should wait a few more days or go ahead and take The Test. We decided we would take the test after work, just before date night. I took the test and... nothing... oh well... I threw it into the bathroom trash and started changing for our night out. We were quiet, trying to be numb to the disappointment we felt. After a few silent minutes Kevin asked, "Wouldn't it be funny if we went out to dinner, came back, and the test was positive?!?!" I told him that if checking the test again would make him feel better, then he should check it... and he did... And what-do-ya-know! POSITIVE! We celebrated at Outback Stake House and wondered if our lives would be Pink or Blue...

It turns out our lives will be BLUE! Before we found out that our Little Boy would be a Little Boy, we called him Blueberry, because that was about how big he was when we started this Adventure. In honor of his budding life, we started a baby book, written and illustrated by Mommy and Daddy called: The Blueberry Adventures.

When we finally were scheduled for our first sonogram visit, we were jumping out of our skin with excitement. Our Little Blueberry was the best surprise we could have ever hoped for and we wanted to see his cute little Blueberry body!



Here he is at 10 weeks along... Just a little Blueberry Jellybean! We couldn't believe our eyes! We had created life! Because we found out we were expecting so early in the pregnancy, it has made the pregnancy very long, and we have enjoyed every second of it!
