Our Christmas Surprise
Announcing: Baby Boy Nelson
ETA: April 21, 2010
I am the Ultimate Rosie
Yes, folks, Bron and I are thrilled to announce that we are expecting our first baby boy in April! We were awfully coniving and decided to keep it a secret from family and friends at home until our trip home after the Christmas holiday. We know, we're stinkers. We can't wait to see their reactions! I hope it was totally worth it. Saving this surprise until Christmas was all Bron's idea. I've loved the agonizing anticipation. To them, this is going to be the shortest pregnancy ever. I am already over halfway through this pregnancy, clocking in at about 24 weeks now. I love feeling my baby move.
During those first few weeks of pregnancy, I did suffer from a little morning sickness, but not too bad. I just felt nauseous all day long for about three weeks straight. It was actually all the animal smells at work that I dreaded most. To this day, I still scare people when I turn green in the dog wing. Other than that, I'm feeling great!
My favorite day so far was when Bron came with me to my 19 week appointment to see the baby on the ultrasound screen and hopefully find out the gender. He was overjoyed when he saw the outdoor plumbing! It was both amazing and surreal to hear the heartbeat and watch our baby move. It was also reassuring to find that every detail about our little guy is growing and developing normally. Bron and I fell in love all over again, with each other, and with our little bump.

The Baby Bump on Thanksgiving Day
I can't believe this is real and happening to us. Life as we know it is about to change drastically. But I'm sooo excited to become a mommy! I feel really blessed. Bron and I are grateful that I'm healthy and happy and that our little guy is developing just as expected. We pray that everything else during this pregnancy will progress just as smoothly.
P.S. I think we're stuck on the name, Jedediah. Jed for short. We think it's very befitting of a little cowboy.
Congratulations Jessie!! That is so exciting. I cant believe you kept it a secret from your family for 6 months. I cant imagine. I think my mom would kill me if I did that. :p Congrats and Happy New Year, sounds like its going to be a great one!!
ReplyDeleteSO true that it's going to be the shortest pregnancy ever to your family...AKA me! I can't believe it, but I'm so happy for you! I miss you!
