Surprise! We're pregnant. And we're so excited we can't seem to find the right words to express how we're really feeling. At first it was disbelief that after all this time, we were finally pregnant. "Are you sure?" Eric asked me. "You need to take another test." Well, two tests later we're still pregnant. So we've moved into the wondering and planning stages. We wonder what the pregnancy will be like. We wonder how we're going to learn everything we need to know to be ready to take a baby home with us in about nine months. We wonder how we're all going to fit into our tiny house. But, amazingly, we're not stressed out about any of it. We're not feeling stressed by the impending changes in our lives and I'm not freaking out about how we're going to pay for it all (yet). I guess the months of waiting helped.
We are however, worried that somehow we'll lose the baby (which is the size of a poppy-seed right now according to babycenter.com). So we've decided to tell only a few people. I'm going to keep posting on the blog to chronicle the changes in our lives and our thoughts and feelings as the weeks pass. If you somehow found this blog without a pointer email announcing its existence, well we guess that you're intuitive enough that you'll figure it out anyway so feel free to keep reading.
I've posted a QuickTime movie that I created from the recording I made when I shared the exciting news with Eric. I thought you might be interested in sharing the moment with us.
