There are 3 of us!!!

Thursday morning, November 5, 2009, we discovered that we have been blessed with a new life and are 3 weeks along!!! We are SO excited and overwhelmed at God's goodness and perfect timing, as it will be an early July baby. We went out to breakfast to celebrate, stopped at Whole Foods for prenatal vitamins, then at Barnes and Nobles to browse the pregnancy section. Thursday afternoon, relics of St. Gianna Molla (pro-life witness and patroness of safe pregnancies) were actually being displayed in our parish church - what a beautiful coincidence! We were able to hold the gloves she wore, and I held one to my tummy and asked for her prayers for a safe and healthy pregnancy.
We will of course, keep you updated with notes and pictures, and the gender when we know! I am feeling great so far, no nausea, but have felt unusual twinges and tingling inside, and so begins the transformation of the uterus! Thank you for all of your prayers for this occasion! I will close with the words of St. Gianna- "Love is the most beautiful sentiment the Lord has put into the soul of men and women," and we are overjoyed to announce the fruit of our love in the Lord!

The next day, I came home from class to this...I think hubby is excited, what do you think? The only baby balloon the particular store had was this one, so he added a "maybe" on it. :)

Nothing substantial yet, but we had to take the first "tummy picture."
