For those who don't know yet...

What is this? Wait, what does that say? Does that say..................

PREGNANT?!?!

Yes, Paul and I are expecting a little baby Crolley on June 7th! We are so excited. So far everything has been going well. I haven't had any major sick moments, which I am VERY grateful for.

So let me tell the story of how we found out....

I was noticing little things hear and there (like sensitive breasts, feeling bloaded, and a few other details I'll leave unmentioned), but I just thought it was because my period was coming. When I was a day late, my sister, Tiffany, told me she thought...excuse me...she KNEW I was pregnant and that if I didn't get my period by the end of the day on Friday, I should get a test on my way home from work. I totally didn't think I was pregnant because I thought it would take Paul and I a little longer than it did, but as when we were younger, I let Tiffany talk me into something...haha! So on Friday, September 25th, I stopped at Walgreen's on my way home. I took the test and was completely and utterly shocked when it showed "PREGNANT!" Paul was on his way home from Columbia, SC and was going to be home about 45 minutes after I took the test. I quickly skimmed through the instructions and it said the result will show for a hour. Just enough time! I wrapped the test in a necklace jewelry box and waited impatiently for Paul. Upon his arrival, I gave him the box and said, "I got something for you." Paul looked puzzled and wondered what in the world I got him. When he opened the box, he told me he thought it was a thermomter for a split second until he saw the word "pregnant." He looked up at me quickly and said, "You are?!" We hugged and kissed and were so excited! YEAH! We can't wait to be parents!
We had our first sonogram on October 16th and the doctor said everything looked healthy. So far so good! I would scan the 2 sonogram pictures we have, but the baby really is a teeny, tiny, little dot because I wasn't as far along as they originally thought I was at my first doctor appointment. We'll have another sonogram on November 2nd to get a definite due date (the doctor is going to get better measurements and let us know)...so our due date may change, but for now it's June 7th, 2010!

A little behind....

So I've been a little behind in my blogging. I've really only missed blogging about one important thing though: my parents came to visit back in September. They arrived on the Thursday the 17th and stayed until Monday morning. We had a great time with them...as usual. We went out to dinner Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Other than that, we mostly stayed in and played games....not by choice, it was pouring! Some of you may have heard about Atlanta flooding not too long ago...yeah, that was the weekend the rain started. Our plan for Saturday was to go to Six Flags because I had two coupons for buy one adult ticket, get the other free. However, the rain crushed our plans. Instead of Six Flags, we went down the street to look at the models of these huge townhomes, and then we went to the store to get Wii Sports Resort (Paul talked my dad into getting it). When we got home, of course the boys had to try the game out. Here's a picture of them rowing:That night, we ate at Benihana. It was pretty good...not quite what I was expecting, but still yummy and we had coupons, so it was worth it. We played A LOT of Wii Sports Resort and a lot of card games. There were lots of good laughs and yummy treats...like OREOS! I haven't bought oreos in a long time because I've been trying to not buy treats like that unless they're on sale and oreos never seem to be on sale, but Mom and Dad got some for us! So...Mom and I enjoyed eating our oreos together while playing games.
I love when people come to visit, especially family! I love my parentals!
