Announcing the BIG news

So this is how it all began...I took a pregnancy test on November 9th (the day before my missed period) because I am super impatient and sad to say it was negative. I was extremely disappointed and now just had to wait until my expected period the next day. After waiting three days and it still not coming my sister finally convinced me I might have taken the test too soon. So, on November 12th I took another pregnancy test (actually two) and three long minutes later it was POSITIVE!!! 

I could not believe my eyes. I immediately broke down in tears of joy. Unfortunately, Mike was on a fishing trip and I had to wait until he returned later that night. I left the pregnancy test and a card on the bathroom counter (since he had to shower when he got home) and waited for his reaction. 

After waiting impatiently for Mike to finally get all of his fishing stuff out of his car he eventually went into the bathroom. A few seconds later he rushed out of the bathroom grinning from ear to ear and asked, "Really??!!" with so much happiness and excitement. He was over joyed!!!

Proud daddy to be:

We shared the news with Mike's family while visiting them in Tennessee for Thanksgiving. Mike told Justin he better not eat all the food this year because Kaella is eating for two!!
We shared the news with my family by telling Westin and Tamera on the phone. We told Kristin and Nathan over dinner. After our first appointment on November 29th we told my mom when she was in town by giving her a ream of paper (that she wanted from us) with Baby Sosbe's first ultrasound picture!

Last but not least I called my dad and his exact words were, "Good Gracious!" LOL...he is so funny! Needless to say both of our families were beyond excited for us and so happy for our future summer baby :)

We wanted to wait until I finished my first trimester to announce this amazing news to the rest of our family and friends, which we did on Facebook and phone calls! 

Mike and I are so grateful and blessed to have so many loving and supporting people in our lives. I can not wait until Baby Sosbe arrives to meet all of them! I am so glad the news is finally out (I hate keeping secrets) and let the fun and shopping begin!!
