The journey has begun!

It has been the request of more than a few that we start a blog to let others follow along in this crazy journey we are on. I figure if everyone else can do it, surely I can figure out how to do one of these things. So to kick off the first entry:

Well, it's official, Jim and I are expecting our first baby this August. It is hard to believe that I am already approaching 13 weeks. What really is even more amazing is that we were both able to keep our mouths shut until last week when we were given the amazing opportunity to hear our little one's heart beat. Words cannot even begin to describe our joy and amazement at the sound. I think for Jim it was the first real sign that I actually am pregnant. I have been more than blessed with an easy beginning. Aside from some extreme fatigue (I'm not going to lie, 8:30 was not an uncommon bedtime for me for awhile) I have felt pretty good.

We are excited for the road ahead and can't wait to meet our little one! Whether we will find out if it's a boy or girl is still up for debate. For those that know Jim, you can guess that he of course wants to find out. Jim likes a plan!

We will be sure to keep you posted on all the fun things going on.
