Our Little Ducky

It's official.  I peed on another stick this morning and it says that WE ARE PREGNANT!

It's a surreal feeling as I've never thought of myself as a mom - I've always hoped to have kids, but I've never actually been able to picture myself as a mom. Does anyone? Or is it more of a Take it as it comes type of situation. Questions for another day, I suppose.

Either way, since it is so early, we are just praying for a healthy next nine months.

David and I wanted to tell my family in Seaside for two reasons: 1. Even though we only found out a day earlier, I couldn't look at my parents without wanting to squeal and 2. We figured since this is such a special place for our family it would be extra special to tell them here. I can't believe that this time next year there we will have a tiny precious three month old here with us.

I wanted to wrap up one of the six pregnancy tests that I have taken in the past two days, but David said them it was inappropriate to give my parents a gift that I had urinated on. I could see where he was coming from so we decided to go a different route. Instead of wrapping a big bow around a pee stick we went to Sundog Books and picked out two children's books to give them. And just in case the kiddo books weren't enough, we went into a toy store and bought two pacifiers, one with a mustache on it and the other with huge red lips on it.

Their reaction has been so much fun to watch. I can't even look at my dad without crying...

Sweet David took a video of them opening their presents and figuring out what was going on.
