Surprise, Surprise!!

Forrest and I found out over Memorial Day weekend that we're going to be parents! We told our parents right away, but waited til the end of my first trimester to tell extended family or friends but were at 15 weeks now so just about everyone knows :) It's been a lot of fun to tell people! I think the most shocked of anyone were our parents so that was fun!

I'm due January 30th and we found out this past Wednesday that we are having a girl. A long time ago (like...back in college) Forrest came across the name Harper for a girl. He fell in love with it right away but at 19 I wasn't ready to commit to the names of my children yet! :) However, over the years I've really begun to like it, so unless we do something crazy, we're expecting Harper Marie in just a few months time. I know it's going to go much faster than either of us realize.

I'm not really showing much yet. You can sometimes tell but it really just looks like I've been over-eating more than that I'm pregnant! So it will be nice when you can actually tell that I'm pregnant so I don't have to narrow my shirts to all loose fitting items!

Here is our first picture of little Harper taken at 8 1/2 weeks...she's upside down :)

We went to a place in Franklin that you can have ultrasounds done whenever you want to find out the gender last week. I haven't scanned the pictures from that ultrasound yet but I will post them when I do. I'm actually getting to go back tomorrow just to confirm the sex since I was only 14 1/2 weeks when she did it and she usually waits til 15 weeks, so I might have some more from tomorrow that I can post as well! I did get a DVD of the whole ultrasound but I have no idea how to get that onto a website - I'll have to contact Uncle Craig for that :)

Ok, well I really am going to try to be good about blogging now that we have a baby on the way, but my track record is really bad. I'll give it a shot though!
