Graduating (or We're Having a Baby!)

Can you believe in less than a year I went from reading....

The Knot.....




















to The Nest.....




















to The Bump?!











 Beau and I have never really been ones to waste any time when we want something but really?! Wow! We couldn't be more excited to announce that we are expecting a baby in June 2010! It is very early (probably too early) to be telling people but we are just thrilled! I am 6 weeks and 2 days along (or Paw Caldwell would say "you're going into your 7th week" ;-) ). I don't really like to get all sappy in public but feel that it needs to be said....we are truly blessed to have God right there on board helping us make every decision we have made recently - with this last one really being something out of our control! It hasn't escaped me that this is such a blessing and completely out of my control and for that we are truly thankful.

Soooo, is this the part where I compare it to a fruit? Why not?! And so begins the blog subjects that I never anticipated writing about.....

This week we are a sweet pea!











This week's major developments: The nose, mouth and ears that you'll spend so much time kissing in eight months are beginning to take shape! His heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute — almost twice as fast as yours — and blood is beginning to course through his body. His intestines are developing, and the bud of tissue that will give rise to his lungs has appeared. His pituitary gland is forming, as are the rest of his brain, muscles, and bones. Right now, your baby is a quarter of an inch long.

How cool is that?
