Grandma Merlo

Grandma Merlo left us right before we found out that we were pregnant. We believe she definitely had a hand in it and will be watching over our little one from heaven.

Telling the Fam!

Next step was to tell our parents and siblings! I made onesies with clever sayings on each one.
Dawn (Brian's mom)- Decorated by Grandma (she's an interior decorator)
My mom- I have an HG! (Hot Grandma)

My dad- Grandpa's pit crew

Sam (Brian's dad)- Grandpa's lil' jockey

Adam- (The best uncle ever! Oh, and the only one. ) My Uncle's quite a Catch!

Erin (Adam's fiancee and my soon to be sister-in-law!)- My Aunt buys all my shoes!

Ashley- (Our future babysitter!) If you think I'm cute, you should see my aunt

Jeff (Dawn's fiance)- Saba's favorite

Nat- My aunt loves me.

All the onesies!

Grandpa Mitch is Excited and Grandma Debbie can't believe it!

How I told Brian

Well, I have to say, I was pretty excited when I came up with my idea of how to tell Brian that we were pregnant. I set up a scavenger hunt, and put a note on our door so he would see it when he came home from work. The note told him that he would be participating in a scavenger hunt and to follow the clues in order. Once he read all the clues, he could come downstairs to get his prize.

The clues were as follows:
Clue #1- Finish this song lyric, "Sitting on the dock of the _____." (Answer: bay)
Clue #2- What is this insect? Bumble _____ (Answer: bee)
Clue # 3- What is my favorite auction internet site? e____? (Answer: bay)
Clue #4- What do lovers say to each other on Valentine's day?"Will you ___ mine?"(Answer: be)
Clue #5- Finish this city: Tampa ____ (Answer: bay)
Clue # 6- What letter is missing? _ouncig, _undle, and _lessing (Answer: B)

Needless to say, he figured it out before he came downstairs, where I was waiting in a t-shirt that said, "What am I?" with an arrow pointing to my stomach, holding up the pregnancy test.

Our Baby Pics!

I think it's safe to say we are going to have a pretty cute baby! Yes, a bit conceited, but it's my blog. ; )

Baby Brian

Baby Heather

It's official!

We are pregnant and completely elated! I am due May 21st, and I am already showing. I popped right before my first trimester was over. So far, my cravings include anything sweet, pizza, and hot dogs! I know, not the best cravings to have, but what can I do. Maybe that's why I popped so quickly!

In fact, I was at the IMEA concert for Ashley last month, and there was this woman in the bathroom with her son. Anyway, she looks at me and says, "Oh, your pregnant. Is this your first?" I said, "Yes." She replies, "Wow, you must be around 5 or 6 months. I have four of my own, so I am pretty good at guessing." I smiled and said, "No, just a little over 3 months, and it's not twins." I added that because people constantly ask me that question. She laughs and says, "Oh, don't worry, I was that way with my first. He was my 11 pounder!"

Needless to say, I started slowly backing towards the door, and in the sweetest voice I could muster said, "Thanks, I think, and don't take this the wrong way, but it was not nice meeting you." Of course I laughed politely as I said it, so it wouldn't seem too mean, and then beelined it out of there.
