I think we need a bigger family :)

 After almost 11 months of trying...it has finally happened! And I think the Lord knew this would be the perfect timing. We are all settled into our new home in AZ, Sean just finished all his tests for real estate, and we are celebrating our 2 year anniversary this weekend!
We found out on August 29th. I kind of had a suspicion earlier since I was feeling "car sick" for about 5 days before, and when I would lay on my stomach it made me feel even more sick! I was 4 days late by this time, but I didn't want to make a big deal of it cause I'm ALWAYS late. But this was 4 days past the latest I had ever been, so I finally went and bought a test. Sean wasn't home yet and I didn't want to take the test till he was home, but I had to pee soo bad! haha. But I just waited...and waited...an hour and a 1/2! Then as soon as he walked in I said "I bought a test...but I haven't taken it yet. I really have to pee though so I'm going to take it now". Sean was questioning me of course...cause this happens a lot, but I didn't know what else could explain the sickness. So I came out a couple min later and just showed him the test. I tried to speak, but I couldn't. He looked at it and said..."Does it say you're pregnant?? It really says that??" And I just nodded my head and he gave me a big hug, then pulled away and asked "Think you're ready for this?" And then I just started crying and said "I don't know!!" I know this shouldn't have come as a surprise, but I was just so used to getting a negative that I didn't even know what to do! Of course Sean knew just how to calm me down and said "I think the Lord knew we were finally ready for this, it'll all be okay" and just kept hugging me till I stopped crying. We decided not to get too excited till I took another test, so I took another one a few hours later and yep...Still pregnant!
When I called my Dad and gave him the news he was so excited he just kept saying "Oh that is so great!", "You just made my night", "Oh I'm so excited!!", "WOW that is great!" Haha it was funny. I tried calling my mom, but OF COURSE she never answers he cell or the house phone, so I called Jace to see if she was with her...She wasn't. So I told her first. She was watching a movie with a couple of her friends and just started screaming and crying and laughing! Haha and then I started crying again :) When I told my mom I had to say I had a question to ask her, cause every time I call her and say "Guess what?" her first answer is always "You're pregnant!!" Kevin answered her cell so I told him to go get her and put it on speaker cause I had a question for them. As soon as he said I was on speaker she says "You're pregnant!". I said "MOM!! I have a question for you guys" and she sounds all disappointed.."oh, what." then when I asked if they were ready to be grandparents again she just went crazy!! haha it was so funny. "Kevin:That's not a question...that's a statement!!" Then we spent the rest of the evening telling the rest of our families.
Needless to say...our families are ecstatic!
However...none of our friends know yet :) I'm having such a hard time keeping it a secret! But we want to wait till we go to the doctors and make  sure everything is okay. Plus, I have to think of a cute creative way to tell everyone and not just a boring facebook status saying "We're pregnant!". So be patient...you will know soon enough! :)
