A bun in the oven!!!!

Well surprise everyone!!!! We have a little munch-kin on the way!!! About 2 weeks after coming home from AZ from our Christmas break, I realized I had miss an important date. I had also been really tired and thought it was just the "2 hour jet lag," and okay i was a little moody too. So we decided to wait just a couple of days more to take a test, just in case it was an off month. But sure enough the end of the week came by and we couldn't stand to wait any longer. We took a pregnancy test. I was way to nervous to look. So Luke went in the bathroom and came out giggling and with that beautiful smile on his face, shouting we did it!! Your totally pregnant babe!!

We decided to wait a little while before we started telling everyone. But as soon as I started feeling nauseous, irritable, and extremely tired...people around here started to notice. After people started guessing I would just blurt out Yes I am pregnant! lol So not having told our families yet, and having to beat around the bush many times on the phone we were just too excited to tell them. We put together a double picture frame with a poem on the top titled "Your Little Grandbaby."

Your Little Grandbaby

Here's a little peek at me, it shows I'm on my way.
Little grandbabies like me don't happen every day.
I'm busy growing strong, and one day soon we'll meet.
I can't wait to hug and kiss, the moment will be sweet.
For now dream of me, and all the things we'll do.
Explore, sing, laugh and play, to name a very few.
Save a special place for me, to grow inside your heart.
We will be forever friends, a love that never parts.
I hope you'll share your joy, with friends both new and old.
A little grandbaby to love, will soon be yours to hold.

And a picture of the 1st Ultrasound On the bottom half of the frame. (pics to come!)

I am about 12 weeks along and am due around September 12th 2009! We couldn't be more excited and more terrified all at the same time. :) But definitely more excited than anything. This is just perfect timing for the next phase in our lives. Luke will be done with school and done playing competitive sports by the due date. I will hopefully be able to quit working to stay at home and Luke will be coaching this next season as the Quarterback coach here. After that we plan to go back home to AZ. But most of all we will have our 4 year anniversary right before the baby is due. I couldn't recommend anything more to newlyweds. We have loved every minute of this time that we have shared together as "just the two of us," and will never forget it. We are so glad to have established our marriage and our soon to be little family here in Virginia.

The Lord definitely has a plan for the Luke Taylor family. We are so blessed to have the Gospel in our lives. It magnifies everything important in our life to know that our Heavenly Father is right by our side guiding us along the way. We are very grateful to be able to be blessed to create a life and bring a little spirit to this world.
