It's really hard to blog and keep a secret at the same time...

So, I'll just have to do something to take care of that.

I think it was a few months ago that I first told you all that I had a surprise but I had to wait to share it. Well, I can share it now.

Some of you have probably already guessed it but I wanted to confirm or deny your suspicion.

Will and I are pregnant!!!!

We couldn't be any more excited about this than we are. I have always felt like my calling in life was to be a Godly wife and mother and now I feel like I finally get to do all of what I've been called to do. I feel so privileged to be the mother of this baby and I know Will feels the same way about being a father.

So, I'm very sorry to have kept you all hanging. Please don't hold it against me.

Congrats Laura!! I hope you enjoy it--it goes so much faster than you think it will. Sleep now while you can (I REALLY miss that part!). I also have to tell you, thanks for the info on the Cake Wrecks blog--I have laughed so hard at some of those. Hope you guys are well.

Yay Laura, congratulations! You're going to love being a parent. I wish you an easy pregnancy -- and try to enjoy it even if it's not because your world totally changes once the baby arrives. Best wishes!
