So....We're Pregnant!!!

Well, after close to two weeks of knowing, we have decided to post on facebook and let everyone know, I AM PREGNANT!

For all of you who know us, you know how much of a struggle we have had getting pregnant. I got off birth control over four years ago, and never even had a chance. I was not ovulating at all, and after fertility treatments, Dustin and I decided we were done with the disappointment of hoping to have a family, and went the adoption route.

Well 16 months after being blessed with our little man, we are now blessed with a pregnancy! The two of us are so excited and are so enjoying all this has to offer for our family. Dustin and I are in shock of all that has occurred, and I am so excited to be in this position.

I found out we were pregnant on November 16, and called Ally...she's my person, at 10:15 at night. We talked and I told her we were going to wait til Christmas to tell everyone. Well, I couldn't contain the excitement and we shared the incredible news with our families this past weekend. They all were so excited and so happy for our family.

So far I have felt pretty well. I am very tired, but I am feeling pretty good for the most part. Every now and then I have a wave of nausea, but no real complaints. I just want this pregnancy to be healthy and make it full term. I figure I can go through anything for 9 months, as long as our little person makes it into the world safely.

We are so grateful that our pregnancy didn't come until now. We wouldn't change a single event in our life for the world, and feel so blessed to be able to understand and adore the adoption world, and now have an amazing opportunity to experience having a biological child as well!

Things Are Good!

Well it has been awhile since I have blogged. So, I just wanted to do a quick check in and let everyone know what is going on.

Dustin and I went on our cruise November 1-8 and it was paradise. We were able to enjoy a week with friends and some much needed one on one time together. I love vacations with Fuzz because when I come home, I love him even more. Money is always tight and I often wonder if vacationing is the best thing to do, but I am always so grateful we spend time together and are able to rebond. I love it and have decided vacationing is money well spent.

Carter is getting so big and growing so fast. He is saying many words and just a huge busy body. He is so fun and just keeps us on our toes all of the time.

It is hard to believe the holidays are around the corner. We are excited and have so much to be grateful for this year. We are very lucky to have so many dreams coming true and able to live such a wonderful life!

Hope all is well for everyone else, and I'll try to be a better blogger agian!
