Introducing...Growing Gravagnas

Hi All!!

This post probably won't actually be shared until sometime in April, but I wanted to let everyone know the joy and excitement I am feeling right now!!  I woke up this morning and decided that it was time to take a home pregnancy test, so rubbing my eyes and grabbing the test from below my sink I walked over and proceeded to "take the test". 

This was a moment I've been waiting for since September of 2009 when Brian and I decided that Taylor needed someone to boss around play with.  So with the patience of a 6 year old on Christmas morning, I waited for the 2nd line to show up...and sure enough THERE IT WAS!! It was light at first, but as my eyes adjusted to the light - the line got darker and darker!!

I'M PREGNANT!! And I can't tell anyone right now.  I can't even tell my mom - which is the HARDEST thing EVER because I spend a minimum of an hour and 45 min. with her daily in a car!!

So instead of thinking of a clever way of telling Brian - I decided it was best to just come out of the bathroom (at 5:15AM) and pounce on him and tell him that we're having another baby!!!!!  I cried, and he held me (and tried to wake up all at the same time).  I knew I had to get ready for work - but this moment was worth not leaving his arms!!

Today I have been crying off and on - and trying to hide it from the people I work with.  I just want to EXPLODE!!

With all of this excitement - I am having to tell little white lies (per Brian they are okay cause its a "good" secret!!  So I am going to try to keep track of those white lies here so I can come clean as soon as I'm allowed to tell everyone!!! (From experience with Taylor's pregnancy - my mind becomes MUSH)

White Lie #1
Mom & Dad - I really am not going to the doctor on the 8th to meet with her and talk to her about fertility treatments - I'm really going to confirm the pregnancy!  We are actually going to tell you soon, we just have to wait for the perfect time. (at that time I'll tell you about this blog!)

White Lie #2
My Boss - Marina - my doctors appointment isn't just a "normal check-up" - but I couldn't tell you that until after my 1st trimester...so sorry to fib to you.

I think as of right now, that is the extent of my "white lies".  I seriously can NOT wait to share this AMAZINGLY great news with all of our family and friends!!  I am in hopes to take a pic of my belly to post so I can start the "growing gravagna" pictures!! 

We truly thank God for answering our prayers and we continue to pray (and ask for you to pray too) for a healthy and smooth pregnancy that will result in a healthy baby!!
