We're having a baby!!!

Great news! This week we learned that we are pregnant with our first child! We are both so excited!! We found out Monday morning and shared the news immediately over the phone with Michael's mom. We were so excited that we had to tell someone. Somehow we managed to go to work for the day, but we both found it to be extremely hard to concentrate. Later that evening we told Michael's dad over the phone and he was also excited. We had a little fun telling Alissa's family, since it is her parents first grandchild. It was Whitney's (Alissa's sister) 18th birthday only a few days earlier, so we called and said we wanted to bring Whitney a late birthday present (we hadn't given her a present yet). So we picked up a shirt for a newborn baby that said "Wishes do come true." Ironically, Whitney had been telling us she wanted to be an aunt for her birthday. We were happy that the timing just happened to make her wish come true at just the same time our wishes had come true.

Alissa went to the doctor today and he confirmed that we are to expect a newborn bundle of joy on September 22. She is about 5 weeks along at the moment and everything is going well. We are excited for this new adventure and can't wait to welcome the newest member to our family!
