A Reason for a Blog...

Well, there are certain things that will get us to reconsider what we've always done, aren't there? We have a hard enough time keeping all of our family and friends updated on life here...I thought this might be a great way for you to check in with us every "now and then," and perhaps when we have BIG NEWS...like now!

For those who may not know - and for those who do know and want to "relive" the moment again with us - WE ARE PREGNANT!! We found out on the evening of April 18th, after Becky came home from a LONG and difficult trip to Indy for a seemingly long conference. She was increasingly sick over the week leading up to the conference and then progressed quickly while away from her hubby. :( By the end of the time spent away from home, random spells of sickness followed by being completely fine, awful food aversions, and sleepless nights, Becky called David prior to coming home and said, "If I'm not pregnant, that you can check me in somewhere because this unlike anything I've ever felt before!" Soon after arriving home, we took the test...and UNlike the other tests in the past, this one appeared as "pregnant" pretty much immediately. We stood in the bathroom, looking at each other in shock (and then eventually took a picture). Seriously? US?? Pregnant? What will we do? Little did we know then, we do what all newly-pregnant couples do: go get double-checked, learn whatever we can whenever we can, and refocus our prayers - a whole lot! It's so suddenly not about us anymore!
