we're all growed up





2005 was a big year -in January, we found out we were expecting our first baby!!! After being married for 2 years, we were ready to expand our little family of 2. After a few months of trying, I couldn't believe my eyes when I took that pregnancy test at the end of January. I did it first thing in the morning when Joe was still asleep - got in the shower, and could hardly bring myself to look at it. When I did, POSITIVE! I couldn't stop shaking, crying, and ran upstairs to tell Joe. We just held each other, and think we were both a bit in shock, and a lot nervous for exactly what was to come in 9 months....... I ended up having a fairly non-eventful pregnancy (thank God!) No swelling, elephant ankles or horrible morning sickness. I craved oranges and Taco Bell bean burritos :) and think I gained a total of about 43 pounds thanks to all of those burritos. After being a vegetarian for almost 7 years, I also found myself strangely craving sausage and bacon (and basically any kind of processed pork products.

In June of that year, we decided to make the move from our little Broad Ripple bungalow to the 'burbs. We moved to a house in Geist in July, when I was about
7 months pregnant. The next 2 months were crazy busy getting everything ready in time, but we did it!
