Baby Anderson!

This is at 9 weeks 4 days.

So, yep. We are having a baby (God willing)! And yep, we know, we just moved away. Lots of changes happening very quickly in our lives at the moment. Were we "trying"?...well, we were, when we were back in Omaha. I had 48 sick days saved up and we were excited to start a family;) After we found out about our "little" move I wanted to hold off for awhile. Starting a new job with a new grade at a new school and just getting use to "life" here in Kansas was enough for me....but....apparently God had different plans;) Silly me. My cousin Abbi told me awhile back (when Adam and I were "talking" about having a baby) that I cannot plan it. YOU CAN"T PLAN IT AMY! ha. A lesson that needed to be learned I guess. 

Adam claimed he "knew" before me that I was pregnant. I thought there was no way. The time when we weren't trying...and bam? Now I'm pregs? Nope. Didn't believe it. I remember it like it was yesterday, the day he wanted me to take the test. We had just gone to the grocery store and I was having a meltdown.  It was a little over dramatic, all starting with Adam saying we should only get one bag of chips instead of two.  But I wanted two bags of Doritos!  I moved for you! And you are telling me what I can't buy now! (In reality, Adam would have let me get two bags of chips...but we all know this wasn't about chips).  It was just that "we were in a new grocery store, I want to be at my old grocery store. I want to be home. I want to go home." meltdown. We bought hot dogs and were just about to grill out when Adam suggested I just try and take a test (clearly, he need an explanation for his lunatic of a wife). Needless to say, I took the test....and "Happy First Weekend in Wichita, You are Pregnant"....


Don't get me wrong. I am soooo happy to be pregnant. It was just unexpected and everything was changing so fast. Those were just my raw emotions at first. I guess I was just caught off guard.  I had just gotten hired and I felt so bad that I would now have to tell my school I would be taking off right before "testing". and by the way thanks for hiring me. Our family and friends would be so far away now- how am I going to make it through? So many things ran through my head. But it's good. It's all good. Praise the Lord we are having a baby!  

Adam is also superrrr excited. He's totally ready to have a little babe! Very confident, that man. He smiles constantly at any little talk of "baby stuff" and joyfully dances around the kitchen when we talk about our baby giggling, crying, and crawling around the place with Bruce by his/her side. I'm so excited to see him be a dad. He will be a precious dad. 

I've wanted to tell so many people, but we thought we should just wait until our doctor appointment today to confirm that the baby was doing alright. The baby! Our baby! We heard the little pitter patter of the quick heartbeat this afternoon! Ah! Happiness! Baby Anderson is due January 27!
