Saturday, October 29, 2011: 8 Weeks

'Parts' of me have grown... but, I am not 'showing' yet :) 

I am so excited to travel on this journey towards motherhood.

I also wanted to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to my friends Tiffany, Andrea, and Nikki.  They have been an invaluable support to me throughout this journey so far.  The advice, friendship, and love have been SO appreciated.  They are amazing friends and I am lucky to have them!!!!! 



Carving Pumpkins

 Cory's 'Jolly Roger' pumpkin...

...M.J.'s witch is stirring her cauldron...

 ...and of course we had to carve one for Baby Cooper...

We sent this out to family and friends after our first dr. appointment.  

Cory finds out he is going to be a daddy!

I couldn't bring myself to tell Cory this monumental news over the telephone...

SO, with MUCH restraint I waited 4 days to tell him the news once he got home from his training.  I set up a video camera (nanny cam hidden style) and wrapped up a gift that included a positive pregnancy test and the onesie*** below.

I wish I could post the video, but frankly it turned out blurry and I have no clue how to get it from the video camera to the computer.  It basically includes some hugging, crying, and yelling... Why yelling you ask?  Because as soon as he got home he was running towards the TV to turn on the NLDS game in which the Brewers were about to clinch a spot in the NLCS game.  After I basically forced him to open his present, the Brewers game no longer mattered :) 

We are SO excited!!!!

***Side-note: Cory thought the onesie was some kind of 'outfit' for the dog. 

He sure has a lot to learn in the next few months :)



We're Expecting!!!!

Tuesday October 4, 2011... The day I found out our lives would change forever!!!!

I took a test before and after school, just to make sure. :)

 Cory was in Illinois to complete a training course for his new job the day that I found out we were expecting.  So, I had to take this picture of myself... Yes, I am aware that I am a GIANT dork!
