WE ARE PREGNANT

That's right Ladies and Gentleman.......... Ryan and I are expecting our 1st baby on January 24th, 2011
I am 12 weeks pregnant.

As most of you know we started IVF in January and were successful on our 1st attempt, however that pregnancy ended at 4.5 weeks with a miscarriage or chemical pregnancy on March 24th. We had to wait until my bloodwork came back negative and it did twice, well on May 21st I had been waiting and waiting for Aunt Flo and it never came so I took a pregnancy test, knowing it would be negative because Ryan and I had tried naturally for more than a year without any luck. Well I peed on a stick and went and got a pop, came back and said.......... 'Holy Shit' it's positive, we did it naturally no IVF......... WHAT?? I got in my car and went to Walgreens and bought like 3 more boxes of test to make sure it was right........ Yup Pregnant.I called Ryan who was in Tucson at a conference, he wasnt answering so I kept calling and calling until he answered. He was mad that I was calling but then said 'babe, I'm pregnant' he was shocked and didnt know what to say. The next day I called the Dr and she told me to come in for blood work and turns out I was pregnant. We wanted to wait until I was 12 weeks to tell anyone and we are soooo excited to be welcoming a child into our family.

Sooooooooo the even better news................. IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!

Dog Days of Summer

On Wednesday and Thursday Ryan had some Emergency Management Training at The Westin Kierland Resort and Spa, it is a 5 star resort so I took a few days off of work to join him for a few days of relaxation. Okay I had a few days drinking Strawberry Daquiri's while lounging by the pool being waited on hand and foot, where was Ryan............ He was in class from 8-5, I know what your thinking, but it's important for the wife to be pampered and indulge in relaxation. We did dinner each night and went for late night dips in the pool. It was soooo nice to be away for a few day even if it was 20 minutes from our home. I have 1 picture from our balcony. I hope you enjoy.
