Whoa baby baby

Well, almost everyone knows this already, but just in case you didn't get the memo, we are having a baby! The baby is due in about 3 months, but this is the first official blog about our bundle of joy on the way. Here's the story to this point.

We found out that we were going to have a baby in September. We were getting ready to head to Craig to see Scott and Catherine and meet their new baby girl Allison. As Ang was waiting for Chris to get home from school, she took a pregnancy test, and low and behold, it was positive. Ang surprised Chris with a card and the positive test as soon as he got home. Chris was, in a word, shocked. I believe his exact words were "I need to sit down." It took him about 3 hours (almost the whole drive to Craig) to get the wide eyed look off of his face.

Well, we kept it a secret for awhile. Ang's mom came to visit at around 6 weeks, and we did tell her and Doug. They were very excited! Then, when we were in Breckenridge at around 9 or 10 weeks, we told Chris's fam. It took Deb a couple of hours to really understand what was going on. Then, a week later, we told Ang's dad when they came to visit. So, the families all knew and we waited until after we heard the heartbeat to tell the rest of the world.

Ang has kind of lucked out and had a pretty easy pregnancy. The first couple of months, she was exhausted, which is typical. There was one day where she was sick, but that may have been the flu. Other then that, she's been pretty lucky.

At 20 weeks, we went in for our ultrasound and found out that we are having a little girl! We were trying to keep the sex a secret, but the ultrasound tech accidentally put the report saying it was a girl right on top of the paperwork that she handed to Ang. Oh well. The 20 week ultrasound was really cool. We got to see our little girl moving around and sucking her thumb.

Right now, we are at about 26 weeks, entering the 3rd trimester. Only about 3 months until our little girl makes her way into this world! We are very excited an looking forward to meeting her. Now, we just need to get her room ready :)

Anyway, there is the story about our Baby Girl so far.
