We are expecting!

As mostly as every knows, Chris and I are expecting a little Keipper on/around August 12th! We couldn't be more ecstatic about the addition to our family. After trying for a year, it was a great relief when we got our positive. I first tested positive on December 9th, which makes me 15 weeks and 2 days as of today! After taking 9 at home pregnancy test, we figured it was best to call our doctor, because after all 9 test couldn't be wrong! We had our first ultrasound December 16th, let me tell you there is no greater feeling then seeing your baby on the screen. It was even neater at our 12 week ultrasound when the baby was doing flips and waving. Pictures to come of our ultrasound. But stayed tuned, every Thursday, I will be doing what a lot of expecting mommy bloggers do, and update you!
