Our LITTLE secret!

mortgage, then a...BABY IN A BABY CARRIAGE! You guessed it. It's time for Adam and I to join the parent club. We've been so excited to tell everyone.

 I think Adam was more excited than I was when we found out. Of course, I was excited to have a baby, in the hopes my baby would be delivered to me by a stork in nine months...if only, because the first trimester has been brutal! Seriously, my body has gone rogue on me.  Nonetheless I am excited but super nervous for what happens next. I have no idea what I am doing! I could barely keep my sunbeam class( 3yr olds) from jumping out of their seats, eating their ties and kicking other kids. How do mothers do it? My respect for them has deepened. I am grateful for the advice i have already been given, so keep it coming!

How did we find out? Well, it was not unexpected. We were trying. In mid July I tried a pregnancy test one day earlier than I should have, the results faintly said I was pregnant. I didn't believe it. Seeing really is not believing! I tried two more test in the days to follow. Adam could not stop smiling and screaming every time I showed him the results. We had our first ultrasound last month and got to see our little blob and hear the heartbeat. It started to become more real. 

On a side note, Adam has noticed pregnancy is turning me into a baby. I am cranky when I am hungry, I can't keep anything down when I do eat. All I want is milk, which is funny because I don't really like milk. And sleeping as much as possible is a need. 

(I wish I could say I'm pregnant in this picture, but I can't lie. I just have a gut.)

Well, we are expecting our little bean on April 7. But, I've always dreamed of a March baby. Why, you may ask? Just because of some very unimportant reasons. Its right after we get a tax return so you'll always have money for your kids birthday. Also, my family has a birthday/anniversary wall hanging and every month is filled up except March. I want to change that. 

It's crazy to think we're going to be parents next year. We could not be more thrilled!

Story of my life right now. 

Home is where the heart is

Hallelujah! We are living the American dream and bought our first house. It's a town home at Thanksgiving point in Lehi Utah. It's very convenient to work and Adam's school which was a big selling point for us. He just transferred to UVU. We plan to be here about five to six years and I am already falling in love with the place. It's a few steps up from our 450 sq ft. garage apartment for sure! Though, we had great "first place" memories there and it provided us the opportunity to just save up a ton, but it was time to move out.
 
We would love to invite everyone to our house warming party on October 19 from 5-8, so mark your calenders! There will be food AND to all our mission buds and Filipino friends, my mom is bringing lumpia. Yes I said it, lumpia. You don't want to miss it! We hope everyone can make it out. Love you all!

Maternity Shoot with the Halls- Sneek Peek!

This was my first Maternity shoot! I love capturing this special moment in life. Bringing another little soul into the world is such a blessing! These are great parents and I was grateful for the opportunity they gave me to capture this moment.
