"We're Expecting" Pictures

So... I know we may be jumping the gun, but we booked our photographer already! Melanie Newsom-Lee. She has already taken our reveal pictures and we just took them on this past Friday the 16th! Melanie took my high school graduation pictures, Colby and my "just because" pictures after we had dated for a year and then she took our whole wedding pictures! These pictures are going to be a wonderful memory of the past 2 1/2 years Colby and I have been married and the wonderful times we have had as a young married couple. My love for him has grown soo much over the past 7 years we have been together and I only love him more knowing that we are going to have a child together. We have many sessions planned ahead with Melanie, but will not reveal them yet- you'll just have to stay tuned to see! ;). Here are just a few of my favorites!

Dr Appt #1... Complete!

The day we had been waiting for was...today! Our first doctor's appointment!! We got to go and talk to Dr. Wilkerson and he asked us a bunch of questions andddd finally he said "and now we get to do a sonogram!" I was soo excited! He came in and did the sonogram, and said we were 7 weeks, which is what we had calculated... And my due date is October 25th, 2012-- my sweet MawMaw's birthday! Hearing the heartbeat was probably the most amazing sound we have ever heard!! :) we don't go back until April 5th, but I'm sure it's gonna flyyyy!! :)


Baby Reed at 7 weeks




And the chalkboard fun begins...

Eeekkk!

Before I knew I was pregnant, I has wanted a baby so bad. We weren't to the point of medicines and doctors appointments, but were anxious. On the morning of February 18th, after having some pregnancy symptoms, I took a clearblue pregnancy test. To my surprise it was a big fat + before I could even wait the whole 3 minutes!! I was immediately ecstatic, Colby on the other hand was a little nervous when I first told him, but quickly changed his feelings and was more than happy. Since then, after only telling close family and friends, we have been soo excited and just waiting for March 8th to get her to see what the doctor has to say!

Finding out!

Sweet Baby Reed
