Four and a half months of updates

WOW! Has it really been 4 1/2 months since I last blogged. When I first started blogging I was dtermined to be one of those bloggers that ACTUALLY blogged! There has been so much going on since September...

On November 8th we all boarded the plane to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic with our immediate family and some close friends. On November 12th, we said I Do in the most beautiful place in the world, it was more gorgeous than my wildest dreams. Our family left on November 15th and Duane and I continued to honeymoon for the next week.


We had a great celebration December 1st once we returned from the Dominican, and although we were suprised with about an inch of snow and 40+ guests were snowed in and couldn't make it, we were happy to share the evening with 100+ family and friends. We danced the night away and were blessed with some out of town guests (some new family for me which I had never met before).

A few weeks later Duane and I found out we were pregnant! Although we were hoping to have children soon, it was quite shocking that we were going to have a honeymoon baby! All our family is so excited, and we have been busy getting ready for our new little one to join us (due approximately August 4th). We have an ultrasound appointment on March 26th at approximately 22 weeks where we will find out the sex, and perhaps if there is twins growing in my belly! I am about half way there now and am not enjoying being pregnant at all...I am hoping that being a first time mom is more enjoyable then my first time pregnancy!

Life is good! Duane and I are incredibly happy! We are also doing some home renovations in anticipation for our new little one! Duane as I write is pulling up the carpet and installing laminate flooring, much easier to clean, and far more sterile for a small baby to crawl around on. He is turning into quite the little handy man!

We also traded in Duanes truck (which by the way he loved) to purchase a mommy mobile for me, a brand new fully loaded 2007 Suzuki XL7. I am having an affair with my heated seats, and I am so lucky that my new husband is willing to make so many sacrifices for me and our unborn child. My trusty old 98' Cavalier was involved in a hit and run accident in January and never recovered. Duane bought a 91' Jeep YJ, and he looks like a HOTTIE driving it!

So many changes in the last few months, we are handing everything in stride and are looking forward to our expandning family.

Hopefully now, that we are getting settled into married life, and getting ready to become new parents, I will have more time to post! Wish us luck!
