Guess who is going...

to be a MOMMY??? Yep, I am! We have know for quite some time, but I have been dying to not scream it from the top of every mountain. We wanted to make that "safe zone" before sharing the exciting news, but when we continue to go places and see friends and not have a glass of wine or a drink, we are getting some questionable faces. I, of course, told Momma and we have been so so so good to keep this between us. Man has it been HARD! When Ryan and I went down to Garmisch, he announced our news to our friends at dinner time. Now, we are in Virginia and he shared the news his family. That is when I called home to let my sisters and Jessica know. Momma told Daddy, since I am such an emotional basket case when I talk to him. It is just easier on me that way.

I had an idea that I was pregnant and took a home test July 3 that was rather questionable. So, I waited 1 week and on July 8th, 3 years to the date that Ryan proposed, I took another home test. I don't think it even took 2 seconds and it was a for sure, very positive! I then told Ryan who was excited, scared, and worried all at the same time. He was so cute and so concerned. The first thing he did was hold me and then asked if we could wait to tell anyone. So, of course I have been overflowing with excitement, but trying to play the cool card too.

I when to the medical clinic on July 10th and had a positive test there too. So from there, I am now removed from the deployable status and enrolled in the pregnancy pt program. =)

On the 21st, I had my OB orientation. This is when the OB nurse on post gives you all kinds of helpful information for when you have to go out onto the economy for all your appointments. In the area in which we live, the Army hospital does not do the delivery's anymore. The Germans have been working with Americans for many years, so we all go out onto the economy for all appointments. I have had 2 very good friends that have delivered here and both have had wonderful experiences. I actually got to choose the doctor in which I want. We have our first doctor's appointment on August 3rd, so I will be sure to keep everyone updated. Please add us to your prayer list. I am still super nervous, but letting HIM handle EVERYTHING!

Thank you all! XOXO
