Dear little one-
We found out I was pregnant with you on November 29th at about 3 am. I bought a pregnancy test because I was a couple of weeks late. I really didn't think I was because we had been trying for TWO YEARS to get pregnant again.
I woke up in the middle of the night and decided to take the test. Why not, right? I had a feeling right before I took it that I was pregnant, and so when I saw "pregnant" on the test, I was shocked, but kind of expected it.
Dad was upstairs in the bathroom. I went up to the door and knocked. A sickly,"yeah???" floated through the door and I asked if he was all right. He said he wasn't feeling too good. So while he was pooping, I slid the test under the door to him. I didn't hear anything so I said,"Tom? Did you get it?"
"What? Oh!"
I heard him pick it up and after a short silence, I heard,"Wow...really? That's great!"

So, exciting way to tell someone you're pregnant!
Then grandpa wally came downstairs to let the dogs out and he asked what we were doing. I looked at Tom to get the approval to share the news. I told him and he was pretty excited. He went back up to bed and about 5 minutes later, he came out, peaked around the corner and said,"I'm going to be a grandpa again!"

The next day I told grandma jenny and she screamed and jumped up and down and we hugged and screamed some more! It was super fun!

Right now I'm 9 weeks along and I'm loving being pregnant with you, because you don't make me sick! I've only had 3 days where in the morning I felt queasy. I take half an anti nausea pill before bed and I'm fine. Who knows if I need it, I'm just taking it in case, because your mom is horribly afraid of being nauseous!

I've been extremely tired though. Can't seem to get enough sleep! I'm spoiled because we're living with grandma and grandpa Peterson, and Dad doesn't have a job so I get to nap as much as I want!

Mae is so excited for you to come! She can't wait to help feed you and play with you!
We went to our first Doctors appointment with Dr. Larsen, and we got to see you! You are tiny, but we could see your head and little arms and legs! Mae was afraid to look at first, but we promised her a treat and she looked right away! The doctor said everything looks great.

Our name choices are :
Boys:
Ender (thats my FAVORITE, but daddy isn't quite on board)
Sawyer
and daddy likes Flynn

Girls:
Scout

We've pretty much narrowed it down to those. I think you're a boy. But I thought Mae a boy, so we'll see!

All right, off to bed.
