You're having my baby

Beginning of the updates and trying to get back my blogging rhythm...

Since our loss Remy and I have been trying to decide if we should try again. The decision was pretty easy in the beginning because we were medically advised to wait at least three months and then after that I wasn't emotionally ready.

We were quite happily going along with our life. We were in such a good place. Remy had a fantastic job, I had a wonderful rhythm at home, we were in an amazing place in our relationship. Then we got a car and it opened up a whole new world. Do you even know all the fun things you can start doing once you have a car?! Our life was good and we were happy.

Then our birthdays came around and it kind of hit us, we are getting older. We knew it was a decision we needed help with so we fasted, prayed, and even went the temple. We felt we got different answers so we just kind of shelved it for a while.  We then decided to go to the Bishop in November. He told us that this was a very personal decision and while he can help us talk through it he couldn't tell us what to do, he could give us a blessing. We each talked about our worries and concerns and then each received a blessing. The answer was extremely clear.

December rolled around and I knew I was pregnant. The other announcement was so good I wish I could have done it again. I blew up blue and pink balloons and put them all over the house and then made a banner that said "Welcome Home Dad". I've done the banner before, obviously without the word dad, welcoming Remy home so when he saw that he just said "Thanks sweetie" and then he saw the word dad. "Wait what?! You're pregnant?!" We hugged and had to rush off to a dinner party, where funnily enough were asked when we were going to start having kids.

This time we decided to share with our families early and we knew in time for Christmas so we thought that was a perfect time to tell. Since we were home for Christmas (we had an absolutely lovely Christmas by the way!) we were going to be skyping with our families. I didn't get too creative, we just held up a jar of prego sauce saying we were going to be having it for the next 9 months. Some got it right away and some the reactions were pretty funny.

The due date is the last week of August just 3 days different from our other due date which is pretty crazy.
