WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!
Scott and I are so so excited and also so so terrified. It still doesn't seem real. But I hear that it never really does?
I am the type of person who always likes to have a plan and the case was no different when it came to our future children. I always had this idea in my head of waiting 5 years before having a baby. Well last February Scott and I shared an experience that is a little too personal to write here, but it left me questioning if we needed to start our family sooner. I remember later that day a friend on facebook shared some article called "to my baby's daddy" and it was incredibly cheesy and made me cry so hard. I called Scott up right after that and told him that we needed to really talk about the possibility of having a baby sooner than we thought.
I remember walking down our street in Richmond and Scott saying "I mean I guess we are as ready as we will ever be!" and being so excited but also so scared. Did you know that you usually don't get pregnant the first time you try? That was news to me but it was also a really good learning lesson for my planner self. After being pretty disappointed the first month (not really because I wasn't pregnant but more because things didn't go according to my plan...lol) we decided to adopt the mentality of "we aren't trying but we also aren't not trying" if that makes sense. It ended up being much more enjoyable and stress free for me, and took a lot of pressure off that I put on myself. Fast forward about a year later and our little baby casscott will be here in 6 months!!!
I am really excited to document this whole pregnancy journey here on this blog and our youtube channel. I love reading other peoples bumpdates so hopefully other people will find some interest in mine? I also want to be as real as possible because even though I am so so so excited to be pregnant, it has been HARD so far. And I think it's important to share the good and the bad.
Stay tuned for my first bumpdate! I just have to wait for my bump to come in first...

Thanks for your insightful article about pregnancy. I am also pregnant with my first baby. So your article is going to be helpful for me. I need some maternity clothes for me. Someone suggests me to visit here and also said that here I could found my all maternity clothes. If you had any suggestion about this, I would much appreciate it. Thank you.
