It worked. I don't know why it's so surprising... but it still is.
I woke up early on December 4th to take a pregnancy test, and had to squint and stare for several minutes before I actually woke Paul up to see the double lines. It may be hard to see from the picture, but over the next week the lines became very evident. What a crazy feeling! We are overwhelmed with happiness and excitement then.... all I can think is "OMG, what are we going to do?" (and yes thanks to the wonderful world wide web I do think in acronyms, hahaha).
Well, we are on our way to being parents. We are now almost 12 weeks along and due on August 15th. Please check in with us on our journey to becoming parents! Here are some pictures of the "Youngest Young" so far!
Above is the first sonogram at about 6 weeks along. The little arrow is pointing to the baby which is about the size of a peppercorn! It's crazy how something so small can make you feel so not well.
This sonogram is at about 8 weeks. The left side of the "blob" is the face... pretty cool. I can't wait for the next sonogram, which won't be until March sometime. We are both really excited and want to find out the sex. Hopefully, they will be able to tell us in March!

This is GREAT! All of us up north (MD)are excited. It is incredible how someone so small can make such a big impact on your lives. What will the little one call Mary and Phil? Here are a few picks.
Nana and-Pop Pop, Granny and Gramps, Grandmom and Grandad(Granny and Gramps is my pick for Mary and Phil)
