And baby makes 4!!

It has been quite the year for Nick and I, so many exciting things have happened.  First, we got married in the Dominican Republic, then we moved into our new house, got our puppy, Bella, and now..we're expecting a BABY! Nick and I were extremely shocked to find out that I was pregnant after not too long of trying.  Let me catch you up on what has been happening the past 12 weeks..

Nick did not believe me that I was pregnant until I took a digital pregnancy test one morning and sure enough..it came up "Pregnant".  We first shared our big news with our parents and our siblings.  Everyone was so excited for us but in disbelief.  After telling my mom and dad, my mom thought it was a joke, but I assured her, this was no joke and baby Gehrts was on his/her way! Nick's parents were also a little shocked I think, but both were so happy for us! We didn't want to share our news with anyone else until after my firstdoctors appointment which wasn't for another month.  It was killing my dad not being able to tell anyone but he made it through the month without spilling the beans!  After my first doctors appointment we felt comfortable letting the rest of our extended family and friends know our exciting news. Baby Gehrts is due May 28, 2011 and we are anxiously waiting his/her arrival!

I decided to start this blog in order to keep everyone updated with my pregnancy and with everything that is going on!  Between Nick and I's family and friends we pretty much have people all over the country so I thought this would be a great way to keep everyone in the loop!  I hope you all enjoy it :)

Here is a picture from the night we told the rest of our extended family and friends in Ohio!
