Found a Peanut, Found a Peanut

Last Friday, I got to ditch my physics lab and go to Gardener Village with my mother-in-law, Corinne, and my sisters-in-law, Lizz and Ashley. It's a tradition in their family that all the girls go every year, and one that I definitely approve of. Maybe, I shall inspire them to my family's tradition of shopping the day after Thanksgiving. We'll see.

I got a lot of cute stuff, and some of it was free! But since I'm at work, pictures will come later tonight. Yes, you did hear that right, there will be pictures.

Since my birthday is coming up, Corinne brought my present with her. I love drawn out birthdays. It's like having 12 days of Christmas, but better, because you're the only one who gets presents.

I reached into the bag, and the very first thing I pulled out was this....


Well, not this exactly but you get the idea.

Yes.

I will be needing this. In April, actually.

We are really excited. I'm not scared yet, because I still don't look pregnant. I kind of wish I did, because I think maybe it would help me believe that I really am. I still think I just might have imagined those two pink lines, and I wish I hadn't thrown away the pregnancy test so that I could reassure myself.

It was really important though to me and Aaron, for me to finish school. I'm so close to finishing, that if I didn't, it would be really sad. This baby is due right in the middle of finals of my last semester. But, since pregnant people at BYU aren't such an oddity, I'm pretty sure that my professors will be willing to work with me and hopefully let me take the finals early.

P.S. the blue baby toy means nothing. I actually think it's going to be a girl, but the toy Corinne picked out was blue and I was trying to be realistic.

OK that is not fair that I found out this way. I can't believe that you are pregnant that is so awesome. Congratulations you too. We love you.

WOW!! CONGRATS to both of you! We'll have to tell you in person, since you do, after all, live a few steps away. :) I love finding out when people are pregnant! And it's exciting, because our babies will only be a couple months apart! Congrats again!
