Little Beans and Big News

Well I know it's been quite some time since I last posted but I promise I have a good excuse! This reason has made me a little crankier, a bit fatter, and believe me, a lot more emotional. WE'RE EXPECTING! At first I didn't believe it, I couldn't believe this little stick telling me my life was going to change FOR-EV-VER. Dan and I had just gotten back from celebrating our First Anniversary in California and I wasn't feeling myself. For example, I was sitting in one of my lectures and all of a sudden my stomach started growling ferociously. Now i'm not just talking about a little rumble, it was so embarrassingly audible that the person sitting TWO seats away looked at me.. okay kill me now. So that was suspicion #1. The Second was the fact that I had spotted a week early. I kept praying for something else to happen but nope.. nothing ever came and it's really unusual for me to do that. Lastly, it seemed that whatever I ate gave me THE WORST heart burn, ever. So I put these three things together and had a little chit chat with God. "I thought you were going with MY timeline, didn't we decide this was better?" "I swear, If I get home and I find out i'm pregnant, you and me, we're going to have a little word of prayer!" Okay so maybe it didn't go over quite like that but nonetheless, I left school and immediately got a pregnancy test.

The moment of truth. I was soo convinced I was wasn't pregnant that I took it by myself... I don't suggest this. After waiting those crazy-long 3 minutes I ran in, with my heart pounding, to read the results. In my furry I knocked it on the ground. BHAAAAA! What does it say!! (II) Two lines. Oh boy. I just started giggling, then i'd walk out of the room, walk back in and giggle, and repeat about three more times. I was in complete shock.

And life has been crazy ever since. We're expecting our little bean to arrive late June and every time I see it's beautiful little hands and feet wiggle in my belly my heart can't wait to hold it one day. Dan and I are also in the process of trying to purchase a home and we're just waiting to hear back from the bank... got to love short sales ;) Once the the bustle of Christmas settles down i'll head back into the studio to finish up harmonies and then it's off to Nashville for the final mix down. We're so close! Hopefully I can get some pictures up soon too... once I pass the not-pregnant-just-awkwardly-fat stage :)
