SURPRISE!!!

The Clues ( to our very easy riddle!):








The Answer:

Yup!!! It's true, Shad and I are going to have a little one join our family!! My expected due date is February 15, 2010... our little Valentine! We have been BURSTING to tell this little secret for a while, I am officially 12 weeks and almost out of my first trimester. We were going to wait 'till my next doctor appointment on the 11th, but that just seems SO far away!! We were definitely not expecting this from previous news we received about having children, but a very happy and welcome surprise, hooray!! I have deferred my schooling for a year and will hopefully still go on to receive my Masters next summer 2010. (Because having a baby half way through the year was just not an option in a 13 month INTENSE program.) As you can see from previous posts, pregnancy has been good to me. I have been able to stay pretty active, so that picture above with the morning sickness is not totally accurate. I have not really been sick at all. Here's to another 6 months of feeling good!

wow I am so far down on the list of congrats. But your clues were so easy that everyone was going to get it after the first couple.

Megan Morton said...

I have had a weird inner feeling telling me that you were preggo. When you posted that you were going to school, I had a feeling saying that things were going to change for you. For some reason lately, I have know that friends were preggo before they ever spilled the beans. I know, I am crazy!

Congrats over and over again!

Her face lit up and she jumped for joy!
Hugs all around from us Johnson's!
