The word is out...

I can officially announce that we are expecting a baby June 13th! I am 18 weeks out of 40, so almost half way and we find out if it's a boy or girl in two weeks. The reason I waited so long to put it on the blog was that fact that I only told people at work last week. We were able to tell family around Thanksgiving when they were in town. We truly feel so blessed to add a little baby to our family in approximately 5 months.

I have been feeling great so far and have not had any major morning sickness. Aside from a few back pains, the pregnancy has gone very well and I don't have any complaints. The only complaint I have is around all the decisions we will need to make in the coming months (not great news for two indecisive people). Our top priority decision is where to have the baby - Chicago or Phoenix? Brandon is done with finals June 1 and has the chance to start his internship immediately; however, they also said they would be flexible with his start date. Having it in AZ would mean flying out there a couple weeks before Brandon is done with school - who knows. I'll keep you posted as the due date gets closer.

I still owe you pictures from the holidays and Chad & Cindy's wedding. More to come, but here is a sneak peak at the newlyweds:

Jen, what is your blog site?

Lisa said...

I'm so excited for you! I think it's so fun to keep it a secret as long as possible. We took longer and longer with each pregnancy (parents & siblings always knew earlier of course) Being a mom is work but it's rewarding work (and usually even fun!)

Lorraine said...

We are so excited for you, especially to find out the sex of the baby! This is serious suspense.

Becca said...

YEAH FOR YOU!!! You are going to be the best parents and that baby is so blessed to be coming in to your family!! I love that you waited this long to tell people--it will totally make your pregnancy go faster. (Trust me I know from experience! I can't wait to hear more pregnancy news, I just wish that it was a choice to have it in UT because that way we could all see it and also throw you a rockin' baby shower!

Hey Whit, congrats! It's me, Megan Rinke (Clarke). After a little blog stalking (which I never do...) I came across yours and saw your wonderful news! I don't know if you knew, but I'm expecting too-- due just a week before you. So we're probably going through a lot of the same things. How fun! Anyway, we've got a blog too-- rinkefamily.blogspot.com. Glad to see you're doing well!!
