WERE PREGNANT!!

Steve and I are expecting our first baby together. I am about 17 1/2 weeks and due around 1/28/2011. We feel very lucky for this new addition to our family. After a year of trying by ourselves, we had no success. We ended up doing fertility treatments for about 6 months before we got pregnant. Compared to a lot of people out there who have been struggling to get pregnant for years, a year & 6 months does not sound so bad. It is a very hard thing to go through no matter how long you do it. I think the hardest part was not knowing if it would work. After many pregnancy test came back negative, we finally got a positive. All I could do is stare at it. I kept going back to the bathroom to look at it to make sure it didn't change. I could go into everything I had to do with the treatments but that would be long and boring. It was worth it and I could not be more excited. We find out in two weeks, on 9/10/10, what we are having. I am so excited, I feel like it will never come.
Here's what we have so far for the baby. We were going to buy a new crib but some friends of ours were getting rid of one of their cribs that was given to them. They asked us if we wanted it. It is a great crib and we already have it set up in our room. That is were the baby will sleep until it starts to grow out of it. Our extra bedroom in our house is down stairs. Since we have a master sweet, we have plenty of room. For my birthday, Steve's parents bought me a stroller and a car seat. Steve insisted on having a girl car seat but we will have enough time to take it back to the store if we are having a boy. Looking forward to finding out what we are having so we can do more shopping and register for baby things. Will post some belly pictures soon.
