a baby!

First off, I must say.....all of your sweet congratulations on here, facebook, twitter and instagram made me completely emotional! I read each and every one to Tyler and we just have to say THANK YOU. We are so blessed. Tyler and I have waited for this little one for what feels like forever, at times not very patiently- now....well it's still pretty hard to believe it's happening.

It was also tricky keeping our news a secret, especially since I felt I could only use the "I have the flu" excuse so many times when canceling plans so I could lie down. My first trimester was definitely challenging and I felt like I would never feel better again...but behold! The second trimester! It's as good as everyone kept telling me. I'm so grateful not to be nauseous all day. It's wonderful. And now everyone knows the reason behind all of the crazy baby pinning on Pinterest ((guilty)). Spending 12 weeks lying around feeling crummy didn't leave me with much else to do!

Oh but despite all that, the joy! Tyler and I spend every car ride and walk (usually on our way to get food since I'm always hungry) talking about this little person! Constantly. It's pretty darn amazing. So much to think about and dream about and wonder. And baby names! Don't even get me started on those. Thankfully we have a little while until we need to make that decision. The week of Thanksgiving actually! And yes, I've already outgrown a good portion of my wardrobe but that is a-ok with me...I'm excited to see our baby grow and watch my belly get bigger along the way! Right now it's still a tiny bump but it puts a smile on my face every morning!

What a happy time! We are really just so excited to start this new adventure. Oh gosh! It's going to be fun!

Thank you guys for all of the love!! I'm so happy to have this little space to keep a record of our life and Im also happy to share it with you! xoxo, R.
