Surprise! We're Expecting!

The best Christmas blessing we could of asked for...

On Christmas Eve, Ron and I found out that we were going to be parents! We were thrilled and it made it that much more special to find out on the same day that we got engaged three years prior! We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with Ron's parents in Mt. Airy, NC. Needless to say it was hard for us to keep our new found joy a secret for long. We gave in and actually told his parents that night! They were shocked but were cautious because it was so early. Jody is excited about getting started sewing again for another grand child and has already told me to pick out a christening gown patern. Even though Ron's grandparents were with us for Christmas we did not tell them. It's still a secret to most. As most of you know, I talk with my mother several times a day and I can't imagine keeping this from her so we told my parents the following Monday night on the phone. Our baby will be their first grandchild so of course, my mom was screaming and they both couldn't be happier! For now, Ron and I are having to keep this exciting news to ourselves until we feel it's safe to share the news with everyone. I decided to start this blog so those closest to me can keep up with our pregnancy being that we are so far away from our loved ones. I look forward to sharing this journey with you as we prepare for Baby Yaeger in 2009!
