The Big News

Hi all, if you  haven't guessed yet we are having a baby! I am due the last week of February into March and am feeling pretty good. We told all our family last week so now we are spreading the news!

I have been feeling pretty good. July was really hard for me, feeling gross, weak, and tired with a big ole' house to clean. But other then that not too bad. I had an aversion to chicken for a while, the sight, smell, taste.Bleh. Even eggs but that is getting better.Fortunately, I only threw up once, unfortunately it was in an Inkley's parking lot. The first of many embarrassing things to happen to me I am sure.=) I am 14 weeks and almost no sickness unless I go too long without eating.

We are so excited! Justin especially. After we were married two months or so he brought up having kids. I wasn't quite ready then. We weren't exactly planning for right now but are grateful for the fun surprise. At our last appointment we were able to hear the baby's heartbeat and that was really cool. We will be able to find out if it's a boy or girl in October and let you all know!

So we went and told my parents. I made a onesie that says the number five on it since it's my parents 5th grandbaby. They were cute and my mom got all teary. My dad always complains that he's the last to know anything. So we were all together at the table about to play a game and it still took him a while to figure it out. My mom had to say, " Ralph, Alaina's giving us baby clothes." My dad just looks at us. It was funny. They are excited and happy for us.

Then the next day all of Justin's family was over for Jinni's sweet sixteen birthday party. We  thought about waiting till Justin's mom's birthday in a few weeks but my belly is getting bigger and I didn't think I could hide it much longer. It's kind of a long video but it is only a snippet of how excited his mom got. It's the first one on Justin's side so everyone is excited. We got her a onesie that said " Grandma's little peanut on it."

Then we told Grandma Michilena, she's so cute. She is a little hard to understand so I'll do a translation underneath.

She starts off talking about something I am not sure then teases Justin about what chair she's sitting on. Then Justin has them both close their eyes and puts the onesie in front of them. She looks at it and says, " Is this for you baby?" Then she tells Jyana that she's next and talks about how it will be her 4th great grandbaby. Then she ends by telling Jourdan no babies yet. She's cute. Justin's mom could hardly stay quiet till they got home the other day.

So there you have it. We are going to be parents. yikes.  It will be good, we feel very blessed and grateful for this opportunity.
