Yes, folks, Patrick and I are expecting! We found out back in January and now we are excited to share this little miracle with the rest of the world :) So, we are almost 13 weeks along (just starting into the second trimester). Of course, aside from our families, quite a few friends figured out the news a while ago (ahem, Kristi!).
How did it happen, you ask? Well, you see kids... when a man and woman fall in love...
Actually, it kinda went down like this:
October
Me: "I don't want to be on bc pills for a while- I'm too dependent on them"
Patrick: "That's coo, we can handle it if we get preggo"
January
Me: "I'm late. And I've been getting all teary eyed over really happy things, like thinking about walking down the aisle"
Patrick: "Go pee on a stick"
Me: "I think the stick expired 2 years ago"
Patrick: "Pee on it anyway"
Me: "Holy sh*t it says I'm pregnant!"
Patrick: (Insert reaction much calmer than mine)
Doctor: "Congratulations!"
Me and Patrick high five and get all lovey dovey.
I've been reading that book What To Expect When You're Expecting, and sortof being conscious of what I am eating, and popping my prenatal vitamins. I've kissed coffee and soda goodbye (ahem, with the exception of the occassional ginger ale, sprite, and sips of coffee). Patrick even read the chapter in the book written for fathers-to-be, and ever since then he's been exceptionally sweet to me. So the plan is stay as healthy as we can, without going insane. We've also been sprucing up our house with paint and new decor, to prep for the baby's arrival (and visitors as well)!
What have I been craving? Some pregnant women crave food, but early on I started craving country music. It's really not my cup of tea, but it's been growing on me! I've also been craving FRUIT. Lots and lots of it, to the point where I'll ask restaurants to go out of their way to get me a cup of fresh fruit!
Name suggestions welcome!

It's out! Hooray! I am really excited for you guys. You will have a gorgeous little one.
Are you going to find out the sex early, or just wait and see who shows up on delivery day?
You seriously crack me up! This account of how you found out is even better than the "He knocked me up, the bastard!" announcement at book club. Major congrats!
Hey! Congratulations!
I'm sorry I didn't get back to you for SOO long! We've been traveling a TON and in the midst of it all your comment got lost in my in-box. I just randomly remembered about it today and thought "oh crap! I never got back to her about preggo pics!"
So now I am! We would LOVE to shoot your maternity photos if you haven't already found someone else. I'm thinking that it's still going to be a while 'til you're big enough for that, but keep us posted! We'll be down to SD several time this summer and then for good in August. So If you're still interested I'm sure we can work something out.
Anyways, this is a long comment! Shoot me an e-mail if you're still interested and we can talk more about it.
