Four Months

Today is April fools day. I have gotten many fake pregnancy calls or texts on this day over the years. This is no April fools. Just the perfect day for us to announce as we are always oozing sarcasm and quips. For Kyle this new adventure was calculated, over thought, picked apart, and carefully prepared for. For me it has been a prayer that I really didn't think would happen. We have been huge on goals, and trying to make well thought out decisions when it comes to the big things. It hasn't been easy to put traveling, material things, and other wants on hold. We have both made sacrifices and worked so hard to get to where we are, and now we are starting on our biggest adventure yet.

 I am officially four months pregnant. Although I assumed I would have a bump and feel incredibly pregnant by now, that is not the case. Everything about this is still surreal, and I keep waiting for our stubborn peanut to force my stomach into huge mode. This has been a blessing in disguise really, because Kyle and I wanted to tell loved ones on our terms. As fun as it is to have a big announcement at 12 weeks, that wasn't our vision. We both had people we wanted to tell in person, on the phone, or via skype. The reaction from just about everyone was priceless. We felt so loved and supported each time we were able to spill the beans. I think one of my favorite people to tell was Carole Burton. My first boss, and as some know, the woman we give partial credit to our love story. She was the boss that held up the sign "She wants you to kiss her". So in appropriate fashion we knocked on her door holding signs that said "you told me to kiss her!" and "look what happened!" I love that Kyle and I have such incredible, supportive people in our lives.
