I am stealing this idea from a friend of mine. Thanks, Valerie!

Aaron and I went to New Jersey to visit with my mom, stepdad, brothers, future sister-in-law, and grandparents about two weeks ago. We haven't been there in two years, and even though the weather was crumby, it was still so nice to be there. The ocean air was amazing, and it was awesome just to be with family. Aaron's friend, Shadd, came to visit, which was great, since we don't see him that often. My aunt, uncle, and mom had done some redecorating a few weeks before we got there, and they did such a great job! The house looks amazing! I can't wait to go back in a few weeks.

A few days after our trip, on June 17, I took a pregnancy test and found out that Aaron and I are pregnant! What a surprise! We decided to wait until after our first trimester to tell anyone, but that didn't last very long. I started my 6th week today. I can't believe how much I am experiencing so early! I am constantly tired, never hungry or think any food sounds good, and experiencing some cramping and pressure, but this all means the baby is growing!

I went to my first doctor's appointment today, which was basically paperwork and blood tests. I was there for 2.5 hours! I learned a lot though, and it made it seem so much more real. I can't wait to see what each new day brings, and I especially can't wait to see his/her little face and hold him/her! What an exciting time for us!
