Little Guy on the way!

Ray and I found out on October 30th that I was pregnant.  Since I had just gone off the pill at the end of September, I had been taking a HPT every weekend in October to make sure it was safe to drink...after all, we had a UT tailgate one weekend and a NASCAR race another weekend!  Well, the last weekend in October, I took about 5 tests before I could convince myself that there were two pink lines.  We still didn't want to get too excited until we had the doctor's confirmation.  We went for the first ultrasound on December 1st and we got to see that, indeed, we had a baby on the way!  We were thrilled!  That night, we took our "Little Guy" to his/her first concert.

So little!

We're gonna be parents!!

We decided we would wait a while before telling anyone so it could be our special time.  We ended up (unexpectedly) telling my parents when they took us out to dinner because my mom asked if I was pregnant.  She asked because I wasn't drinking any wine at dinner.  Haha!  Naturally, we wanted to tell Ray's parents soon after, so we made a special trip to Knoxville to share the news.  We waited until Christmas with family to tell my sisters and a week later to tell friends.  This is such an exciting time and we feel extremely blessed to have so many people supporting us!
