A Special Announcement!

So I wanted to explain why I've been missing in action for almost two months...lots of things have been taking place and keeping me from blogging. Well, just one big thing, really, but that big thing has lots of things that go along with it.

Ok, enough beating around the bush, right? ;)

My big news is that my hubby and I decided that we wanted to have a baby, started trying at Christmastime and got pregnant the next month!! I'm two months along and due on October 11th with our lil pumpkin! We couldn't be happier and I had my first ultrasound today, so we finally felt like it was time share our big news!

The doctor said the baby looks great and we even got to see the heartbeat (boy, does that make everything seem soooo real!)!

Here's the first picture of our child...




















Isn't that just the cutest lil bean ya ever seen? ;) The head is on the right marked by a "+1" and the doctor did confirm that there is only one lil bebe swimmin' around in there, so I guess the fact that my mom is a twin and it is said to skip generations will have to happen for one of my sisters :)

Anyway, I can't guarantee that the blogging will pick up from me just yet, but as I start to feel better (hopefully the all-day morning sickness I've been having for weeks will go away in the next month as I enter the second trimester), I hope to at least use this blog as a way to document/journal my pregnancy.

As for knitting, I haven't been doing any...hard to knit when you are dizzy and nauseous all the time lol However, I told myself that after my u/s, I would start a baby blanket, so I might get started on that soon, and then I'll have some knitting content to share.

Until then, hope all is well in your world!
