So.
Remember the old rhyme, "first comes love, then comes marriage. Then comes mama with a baby carriage"? Yeah, add baby carriage to our future! Charlie and I are expecting! Our new addition will be here in February 2014.
I haven't blogged because, well, I'm bad at keeping secrets and we wanted to wait to share the news until I was thru the first trimester. Of course we told parents, siblings and close friends as soon as we knew. We finally had our housewarming party over the weekend and used it as the perfect time to tell everyone else in the family about our wonderful news. It was fun answering the usual question "how are you?" with "pregnant!" rather than the usual "fine." Our already happy home was christened with excitement and happy tears. I don't think my dad could have had a bigger smile every time someone referred to him as grandpa. Love!
Of course mom has already pulled out the family tree and shared with me the number of twins in the family. Which is a lot. We have heard the baby's heartbeat and so far the doctor only found one. Of course, he was only looking for one which, according to him, is a girl. I told him there was no way he could know that! His response? "That was the most fun I've had all day!"
We are going to get along GREAT.
