Oh! Which one to pick???

And this is the story of a new life...literally.

On March 27th, I walked up to Ryan holding these two outfits. And this is how the story goes...
Sara said, "So, what's it going to be? UT or Texas Tech?!"
Ryan said, "For who? Melissa?" (Melissa is his cousin who is pregnant)
I said, "No Silly, for us!"
Ryan said, "Why!??"
Sara, "B/c I'm pregnant!"

It took Ryan a minute or two to snap back to reality and realize what I really was saying. Our little one is due December 4th, 2009. I am going on 10 weeks of pregnancy.... being super sick for the last 5+ weeks of it. People keep saying it will end soon, but I'm just not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Is it bad that I am ready for it to be over already? I told me dad already, "pregnancy is NOT glamorous!".

Ryan was able to go to our first appointment. We saw the tiny baby and heard the heartbeat. Amazing! Our family couldn't be more excited and neither could we. We have had SO many blessings this past year, and this just makes another one. When we went to Roswell mid-April, my mom, dad, brother and Ryan were all able to crowd in the sonogram room and hear the heartbeat again. It was awesome sharing that with my mom. My most recent visit to the doctor was last Thursday. Ryan had class and couldn't go... and he sure missed a lot! I saw our little olive flinging its arms around, like it was jogging... and then it turned over on its side. Amazing how at only 9 weeks you can see that. So week nine the baby is measuring about 1 inch and it the size of a medium green olive! We will be going to Roswell for Memorial Day weekend, so I will get another sonogram and the baby will about 12 weeks- can't wait to see how much he/she has grown! Our next "real" appointment will be mid-June. We probably won't be able to find out what it is until July or so- maybe even late June.

Well, we ask that you pray for us and a healthy pregnancy. We truly couldn't be more excited... I need to remind myself to stay excited even when my face is in the toilet, but heck that's a little hard.

1. NO, this wasn't a surprise, yet we weren't "trying". Whatever happened, happened.
2. YES, we want to find out if it's a HE or SHE.
3. Nope, you won't be getting the name out of us... it will be under lock and key until the baby arrives, so don't waste your breath asking what the name is! Ha.

We love you all.
Ryan & Sara
