Surprise Everybody!!

I am pregnant with a little boy! I am due September 28th and we are so thrilled. I just told my parents last night and we are 15 weeks. I guess we just thought we would wait with this baby and then I had friends that I love that have lost babies since I became pregnant. We just couldn't decide when to tell. We didn't know when Chelsea would be in town so we decided on Cassie's birthday--thought she would love that. I felt super bad in my first trimester and still don't know how I kept it from mom seeing her everyday. I think I just told myself if I could act normal at work then I could complain at home. I felt pretty nauseous 24/7. I hated Coffee--even the smell--now isn't that irony! I felt fatigued all the time but still never went to bed early. Matt will tell you that I sent him on runs for ginger ale all the time. I remembered Mom telling me that chewing gum helped her with Chelsea and so that really worked. I chewed gum as soon as I woke up in the morning. I wanted to eat the weirdest things--big bowl full of guacamole. I had to stick to mainly toast and cereal and fat free hotdogs. Those really got me through. I am glad I spared everyone the complaining nasty part and skipped to the good exciting part. Now I feel 110%. I am able to excercise and feel good all the time. No belly yet but it will come soon. Jeans are getting snug.
We told Arden last night too. She has been saying the silliest things. She said last night, when I asked if brother could sleep in her room, that "he could sleep in her closet or maybe on the couch". She also said--"where is brother-is he at school" I told her that he was in my belly. To that she said "where? what is he doing? is he in your belly button? is he in your boobies? " I tell her my belly but then she is going around work saying that she has a baby girlie in her belly. We will just see I know she is going to be full of fun stories.
Sorry we have kept the secret so long. We are happy to have the news out. Now for pics.....
