Exciting News!!

Yes it is the news we have all been waiting for.

SAM AND I ARE GOING TO HAVE A BABY!!

I am 15 weeks along and due August 11th.  I know you have all been thinking that Ginger and Sam would be awesome parents, well we have thought that too of course.  We have always known we would have children either by adopting or having some on our own so we weren't discouraged too often these last 7 years of marriage.  It is just so amazing how Heavenly Father can comfort us so much during these hard times in our lives. 

My doctor here in Rapid City is amazing and made it all possible.  I went to the doctor yesterday and it was the first appointment that I didn't feel anxious and nervous at.  It was such a relief and so much fun to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time.  We are so grateful and excited for this new journey.  It honestly doesn't even seem real at all yet.  I am sure it at least will once we bring home our new baby in August.

(side note: I did want to post a pic of me and Sam making really exciting facial expressions but Sam thought it was a lame idea so I tossed out that idea.)
