"A Daddy is a Daughter's First Love and a Son's First Hero"

The post you have all been waiting on......
We are going to be parents!
About two months ago I surprised Brent with a decorative plaque that had this saying on it. He was speechless and shocked. It didn't come as a surprise to us, because we were trying, but it was definitly a shocker when it actually happened!
I took the test back before school started and we kept it a secret (except for family, and Ally) for quite a while. Both of our parents were so excited! This will be my parent's first grandchild, and they are on Cloud 9! We finally went to the dr yesterday and got to see our precious little one! I have tons of pics, but I don't have a scanner at school, so I might get around to scanning some pics in later on tonight! I am eleven weeks along and for the most part have been feeling pretty good! We already feel so blessed and can't wait for April 26th!
It has been so fun telling everyone and getting to see everyone's reaction. We have heard the comment "Well, it's about time!" from alot of people! Since we have been married five years, I am sure some people thought it was never going to happen, but we really enjoyed our time together and I know we will always cherish those five years of just "us" time! Now on to the next, new, adventurous chapter in our lives!

YAY!!!!!!! I am so excited for you and can't wait to see pics of your little one! I know how you feel about waiting 5 years. Most people act like that is FOREVER, but I think it's definitely been worth it. I can't wait to watch you grow. Thomps with a belly... never thought I'd see the day. Love you!! :)
