The Big Bang!

More like the big update. I must confess that I have been withholding a big secret! We have slowly been letting it leak out among our closest friends and family. Matt and I are having a BABY!!! Yeah!!

We are so excited and anxious to be welcoming this little one into our family. Evelynn is beyond excited! When we told her the news she jumped around and screamed with excitement that she is going to be a “Big Sister”! (If I can ever figure out how to add video I will share)

I am sure it comes as no surprise to the people that know us that we are expecting. Matt and I have been trying…or wanting to have a baby for a while. A few close friends know that we had a miscarriage in April. It was not something I wanted to or could talk about when it first happened. It was very painful (not just physically but emotionally) and until I have reached this point I found it hard to share with people except for a few close friends and family. I didn’t want to talk about it. I felt it wasn’t fair we have dealt with enough…crap that we had to be handed another bad deal. Everything happens for a reason whether we like it or not or even understand it…because sometimes it is not about understanding it is about getting through.

Matt and I obviously are becoming pros at getting through.

So after the miscarriage we were ready to keep trying. I wasn’t getting any younger and Matt turned 30 this summer so we know he was not getting younger!

Month after month (ok 4 months) my nasty Aunt Flo kept coming for a visit. Month after month I kept getting my hopes up only to be disappointed.

So I did the one thing everyone told me to do. (Best New Jersey accent) “Forget a-bout it” Impossible I thought….how in the world would I forget about something that I was absolutely obsessed with?!

Well amazingly enough I did. Became focused on buying/selling our house. Thought to myself that the timing just wasn’t right I had too much on my plate and when that is all taken care of then it will happen.

Badda Boom Badda Bing! We were pregnant. Just like that. Forgetting about it actually worked!

So little Sinroy will be making his/her appearance this summer. Actually the due date is June 14th (which happens to be a great day since it is my birthday!)

There are many things to think about and plan before then…like how I will give birth….c-section? VBAC? Eeek!!! Can someone else do this part because it scares me?

OK…enough for now since this has become a long post and I am doubtful anyone will actually take the time to read it all.

Let me just add that I am happy the cat is out of the bag and we can finally start sharing our good news!
