WE'RE PREGNANT!
We are so excited to finally announce that we will have a new addition to the family come May 6, 2011. We are 8 1/2 weeks pregnant and had our first ultrasound on Monday, September 27. It was so exciting to see our little peanut on the screen! The doctor gave us two pictures to take home and we have scanned one in to share. We tried a new OB/GYN practice and they were so nice and helpful. The doctor said everything was good and the baby seemed healthy and she could see a heartbeat. The appointment went very well except for mommy-to-be almost passing out after getting her blood drawn. Nothing new though...happens every time. Nothing a few animal crackers and apple juice couldn't fix. :)

We called our parents after the appointment to let them know they could start sharing the news with their friends and extended family members. It was so hard to keep the news to ourselves for several weeks, but in a way it was nice to have time for the news to sink in and for Ben and I to have a little secret to ourselves.
We have decided to create this blog to share our journey with family and friends. Since not all of our family members live locally, this will be a great way to keep those interested up to date on the progress and development of Baby Collins and of course to see those growing baby bump pictures!
