New Addition Cooking!!!

Yep, you read that right! We are expecting a new addition (of the human variety) to our family at the end of July! We are as thrilled as you'd imagine first-time parents can be! Although you wouldn't gather it from the picture (that's about as much excitement as I can pull out of fur child unless there is food involved), 

Max is excited too!

We had planned to start a family around the time I turned thirty, and we were lucky enough to have it happen very quickly. In fact, I decided to take a test on a whim one day and...

And just to be sure, we tried a couple more...

What a crazy feeling it is to see those two lines appear, and know there is a baby growing inside of you! It doesn't feel completely real yet. I hear it will once we can start feeling it move, 

and hopefully that should come soon.

 

Just in case you were wondering, I feel like a beached whale already:)! It will be nice when a more prominent bump starts forming, rather than the tummy protrusion/one-too-many cheeseburger belly 

I am currently sporting.

 We have our 16 week appointment next Monday, which means our BIG appointment is four weeks from then! We cannot wait to find out baby Dokos' gender. Care to venture a guess? ;)
