Oh Baby!

Wednesday afternoon, March 15th, after going to the bathroom for the 174th time that day (and thinking that I had been going potty a lot lately), and also realizing that my period was late (and after thinking about that), I did feel a bit different than I had the last couple of months, I decided it was time to take a pregnancy test and just see what the results were. 
This is what the first one said! And I was BEYOND excited!!
  I may or may not have promptly jumped on Pinterest to find nursery ideas :)
When Lee saw the results, he had the most priceless look on his face which was followed by a
 beaming smile! It was adorable! 
I wanted to take a few tests just to make sure that it was for real and not a dud of a test. So I took another one the next day and it came up with the same results! 

We then made an appointment to see a doctor and on the 27th, it was confirmed - we are going to have a baby! He or she is due around Thanksgiving - November 25th to be exact!
It took all we had not to tell people. But we did tell our parents a couple of days later. 
It's so hard to keep to yourself! 
So needless to say, I have had nothing but baby on the brain for a while now. I hope to be able to do weekly updates on here. The morning sickness is a little overwhelming sometimes but I'll do my best. I really want to remember this journey and share it with you, especially with it being our first. 
We are so thankful to have this opportunity to be parents!!! And nothing makes us more joyful than knowing that there's a bun in the oven! :)

The Colossus

One reason I love Lee is because he comes up with some pretty crazy things to do sometimes...
like ordering a Colossus from Pizza Pipeline.  For just the two of us.


Yes, this lovely gigantor of a pizza is 26" across...if you have never experienced one. 
It's supposed to feed 8 to 10 people...


Thankfully, they cut it into squares so it was manageable to eat. But we could only eat 3 or 4 pieces each, which is barely a 1/4 of the pizza! We got 6 or 7 meals out of it though! :)
Lee loved every minute of it! He said (more than once that night), "It's all about the experience!"


While it was pretty crazy, it was also pretty fun! That's why I love my Lee, he makes everything fun! :)

Etsy

I decided I'm finally going to start up my Etsy shop...again. And I'm going to really pay attention to it this time! I think this is nice time in my life when things aren't hectic so I can really put some effort into it. Here's what I've posted so far:





I've made the goal to make/post something everyday. I'm pretty determined to stay on top of it! :) 
www.sweetsistersue.etsy.com is where you'll find my shop. Hope you enjoy!

Family Photos

Lee's grandparents were visiting this last weekend and we thought it would be a great idea to get a couple of pictures with them. They are some truly wonderful people and I am blessed to be a part of their family!
What a wonderful thing it is to know such wonderful people! I love it!
