Surprise

Yes, Devin and I are having a baby! I know it's crazy, but we are so excited and can't wait for this new adventure in our lives. On our way to Virginia we thought we would take a detour through Salt Lake and surprise our families with the BIG news. WE were lucky enough to get both of our families together under the same roof and make them believe we were getting together to celebrate my upcoming birthday and our short one day visit home. Man did we have them fooled! I came walking into the kitchen with my homemade "Baby on Board" shirt and handed my mom a piece of paper while posing so she could for sure read the shirt. WEll wouldn't ya know that she didn't read the shirt and walked away from me. I couldn't believe it so I turned toward Devin, who was filming, and his mom read the shirt out loud and then screamed.Everyone was shocked and surprised, they had no idea. Devin and I weren't really trying to get pregnant, but at the same time we weren't doing anything to prevent it. My mom told me I was going to be just like her "Fertal Mertal"! I thought different and really didn't think it would happen so soon, but it did and Devin and I are thrilled.

Congrats to you and Devin!! I'm so happy for you. I feel so horrible that I didn't wish you a Happy Birthday. All last week I was waiting for Thursday to come along so I could text you and then when Thursday came I completely spaced it. Anyway.. I hope it was a good day for your, it sounds like it was. I'm happy to hear that you and Devin are doing great. We miss you at Dr. Russell's. It's that time of year again for us to go to Puerto Vallarta. Should be fun times again. :D Thanks for the comment, it's very nice to hear from you. Take care!

Woo Hoo!! I have been waiting for you to finally post about being pregnant, I didn't want to spoil the surprise. I am so excited for you, Presley and your little baby are going to be the BEST of friends! I'm secretly hoping you have a girl, but if it's a boy we can arrange a marriage between he and Pressie! It's probably a good thing you don't live here now, because we would for sure break the bank shopping for our babies! I love you so much and can't wait for more updates!

Congrats! That is so exciting! I was preggers with Mya 2 months after we got married and then she was a month when we moved away from home. Having a little buddy to play with made everything so much easier for me. HOw long are you in Virginia for? You should hit us up in Chapel Hill! Congrats again.

To answer your question about the strawberry topiary, it was actually really easy. We borrowed that one from Debra Packard that she had made but you can buy all the stuff at a craft store. Then you just stick the strawberries in with toothpicks. My mom and I were thinking we would each make on and you could do all sorts of things with it! I want to make one with roses next for a centerpiece.

WOW, Kaci, its Ashley Christensen (owens now) and I can't believe you are pregnant already! We've been married 5 years and we're still wondering if we're ready! CONGRATS.

The Saba Fam said...

So, I feel so dumb that I saw you today and I didn't even know you were pregnant! After talking about blogs, I thought I would go home and do some blogging of my own. I was so excited to see your picture! I can't wait to meet this little baby. You two will be the BEST parents. Let me know about a baby shower! We should get together while you guys are in town.
