How we found out....

My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant since May. With our first daughter it only took one ovulation to get pregnant, so we thought it would be just as easy. This was not the case! We tried for 3 months and I finally got a positive test. A few days later I started my cycle. We were very disappointed and frustrated : (

I decided not to think about it that much and in the beginning of October I started to feel "different". We had a planned family vacation to San Antonio so I decided to take a test the day before we left. To my amazement it was a big fat positive! Aaron was at work that night so I called my best friend Janean and told her. I knew she would keep a secret and I had to tell somebody!

We have a dry erase board in our kitchen and it says "I love you because...". My husband and I take turns writing back and forth to each other. I thought this would be a great way to tell him the news.

When he got home from work I just couldn't keep the smile off my face so I ended up showing him the pregnancy test before he saw the board! He was super happy and excited : )

Before we left for our vacation I had ordered a "reveal" shirt for Taelyn to wear to let every one know that we were expecting. I had hoped to spill the beans while in San Antonio, but the shirt didn't get here in time and I spent a lot of money on it, so I didn't want to waste it. It was really hard to keep the secret from everybody the whole time, but I think we did it!
