First comes love, then comes marriage...

Well, I'm pretty sure we've told everyone we intended to tell directly, so it should be safe to post the news now.  I know some relatives have been waiting patiently for this post (and I'm pretty sure some gave up hope of ever hearing news like this during their lifetime).  Fear not, relatives!  The big event has happened!  Ryan and I are pregnant!

 Me at 12 weeks along.  My belly must shrink whenever I get in front of a camera--maybe baby is camera shy?--because I sure feel a lot bigger than this!  (Need to work on that posture, girl...)

This will be our first little bopper and we're very excited.  We don't know if he's a him or her yet but I'm an old fashioned grammar person so I'll be calling him a him regardless...until we find out. :)

I've added a little baby countdown ticker to the blog.  It should be hovering directly above the posts.  It'll keep track of how far along I am in the pregnancy, and since babies can't read calenders we'll just say that I'm due in March.

I found that particular ticker a few years ago and have been saving it in my Favorites ever since.  Yay!  I finally get to use it. :)

Now, if you'll excuse me I need to go eat something.  It's been an hour since my last meal and I'm starving.  Eating for two...oi!
