& Then There Were 3. {TnT+Baby}

TL and I are going to be parents!! 
We are so excited and feel blessed beyond measure...
I'll never forget the September day I told TL he was going to be a daddy.  He had been golfing with buddies, and I had known for a few hours that we had some big and exciting changes coming. After our 18 month long journey of "working on it" - I took the test just after TL left for the day, knowing it was still a little too early to really know.  When I saw the "pregnant" pop up on the little screen - I screamed and shook in excitement.  Nervous that if I took another one it may come up negative, I called the nurse we've been working with and told her.  She instructed me to take another one to confirm, and get my butt over to the clinic to take a blood test. I did.  Fast.  I drove, shaking hands on the steering wheel and got my blood drawn, uncharacteristically with out TL, and felt a little more certain after taking another test with a positive result.

Back in June, I purchased a Father's Day Card just in case for TL.  I kept it and wrote in it.  It said "Happy {you're going to be a} Father's Day".  I went to 2 meetings for work with my exciting news bottled up inside... and then my tummy flipped over and over in excitement as I drove home to meet TL for dinner.  I held the card in my purse when I walked in and handed it to him.  There was such a deep feeling of excitement and my heart and tummy were fluttering.
He read it.  There were tears, giggles, "are you serious" questions, and a little bit of jumping up and down that ensued for a few minutes in the middle of our kitchen.  Slowly we broke the news to our immediate families over the following days.
Now... I am approaching 14 weeks... and we are finally letting the secret out.  This part of our life has taught me something really special - we've got some amazing people in our lives who genuinely love us and have expressed so much excitement and love - I can't even begin to describe how this feels.  I am overwhelmed.  I've had a rough few months of morning all day sickness, but I can't complain... I am just so happy.  There isn't a baby bump yet, but I check every morning when I wake up and will surely be keeping up with my pregnancy and snapping pictures so I can remember each step.

Thank you to Veronica at Nica Photography for taking the time out of her busy schedule to squeeze us into a stormy Friday night to snap a couple pictures for us. 


We have a LOT to be thankful for this Thanksgiving...
I hope you have a beautiful holiday!
