(Can you tell I've felt left out:) Well, it's a true story, I am pregnant. I've gotten some questions so I'll address those now. By the way, this picture was taken before I was pregnant in AZ, but it was the first time I had seen such a sign, and I desperately love good parking, so we decided to have babies.
I took the preggo test the morning that I was to fly out to NY. Trav had been gone a week already, and I knew if I took it earlier I would never last til Monday to tell him in person!
Ok, the ball. Whenever Trav and I ended up in the toy section of a store he would locate the balls, toss them around, and longingly tell me that all he wanted was a kid to play ball with. How do you not fall in love with that?! One time in WalMart, he became particularly attached to shown ball, so I secretly went back later and purchased it. It's been stowed away beneath old ballet costumes in my cedar chest for months, waiting for this moment. I put the test and a card inside the ball and dressed all that up in a gift bag. As a decoy, I first gave him a gift bag with a shirt I had bought him while he was gone, then handed him the real surprise. He was SO excited about the BALL, it took him a minute to even realize there was something inside. His reaction was all I had ever hoped for. I am a lucky girl.
I don't know that I've ever seen a pregnancy test in a zip lock bag before in all the cute pictures of my friends. Well, what do ya expect from me?! :) I love that in the background you see mounds of boxes since it was the first night in our new house. Lots o' changes in our lives! I have been feeling great (no nausea), am due Feb. 28 (darn, it's not a leap year), and crave carbs like it's nobody's business! (see donut post below :) Thanks for everyone's positive comments! (I guess the scary ones come later) haha

You guys are going to have the world’s most beautiful baby! Aside from my own of course, I know you are going to be great parents too. Trav has always had a way with kids, being the fun Uncle and everything (Neil was quite enthralled with the picture of the ball.) And Steph, I have all three of my + ept's in a little baggie. It’s a mixture of "ewww!" and "ohhhh…” whenever I re-find them. I saw one in a scrapbook once that I thought was crossing the line; but, to each their own. :) Do you guys have any names picked out? I know it doesn't start with an E…but Megan is a great name :::wink wink::: :)
Oh my gosh! I just realized you went to an anatomy lab while you were prego and you didn’t lose it. You are amazing.
just found your blog... congrats on the baby! so excited for you guys :) p.s. i am jealous you get to live in NY
You both will be great parents. I'm so excited. By the way I love what you did to your site.
Congratulations to you both! :)
Finally, another grandchild. To bad they will never see each other. And why the heck have you not been sick, no fair. Congrats to you guys and tell Travis nice g's.

YEA! And you didn't even spill the beans when we were talking! I am SUPER excited for you guys - you are going to be AMAZING parents. I am glad you haven't been sick. My kids still talk about when Travis and Stephanie would watch them. I hope you keep feeling good!

Not to mention you are due on TRELLANY'S birthday...so all I can say is if you have a girl and she is born on the 28th of February I hope she will be everything that Trellany has been for me...you will be truly blessed.
