Completely Smitten

A year and a half ago TODAY, my Sunshine became Eternal.

And to think, I thought I'd only fall in love like that just once...

Boy. Was I wrong...

For anyone out there who didn't quite seem to get it =)...

Kyle and I are expecting a baby in August.

It's funny to me how seriously I contemplated whether or not I should put exclamation marks after the previous statement. But after some (unnecessary) excess thought, I have come to the realization that I am, Simply.Grateful. No amount of expressive marks can really begin to describe all the emotions we have felt since the very beginning of all this. Truly, I have fallen in love all over again; who knew I could be so enamored with a beating heart?

We realize that anything could happen between now and August. And that some may consider it plain crazy to put something like this on a public blog. But as sweet Angelynn reminded me, I can't spend 9 months being paranoid about what could go wrong; I need to make sure I enjoy every second of my pregnancy and know that Heavenly Father has a reason for everything if our circumstance should change.

Besides, Kyle and I figured...if you love us enough to look at our blog, we love you enough to tell you =):

I found out I was pregnant on December 11, 2009 around 6:15 a.m. I had always dreamed of telling Kyle the big news by surprising him with a mini Dodgers onesie and watching him figure it out. But seeing as that

1.) Dodgers stuff is practically nonexistent in Utah

2.) It was 6:15 in the morning

I had to work with what I had.

With that, came this idea (seeing as I was already in the bathroom):

I actually got to record Kyle's reaction to the news by placing our camera on a bathroom ledge and coming up with a way to get him into the bathroom without giving anything away ;). And although we had considered keeping this video for our own tender memories, we did ultimately decide to share it as well. Like I said, if you love us, we love you.

BUT!!!! There is a DISCLAIMER (possibly more than one):

1. For all our 'non-swearing' friends, please remember that Kyle IS a convert to the church ;) (It's not too bad, I promise.)

2. It is 6:30 in the morning, hence the "early morning" appearance of your truly.

3. The 'waiting period of nothingness' is pobresito Kyle waking up and slowly attempting to help me with my 'problem' =). But if you put up the volume, you can hear him getting out of bed. lol.

4. The main reason I don't give much of a response to all his questions is because I was already crying by that point. But I am nodding and trying to get a "yes" out every time he asks me something.

With that LARGELY overdone introduction, I hope you enjoy our video:

Because this post is FAR TOO LONG as it is, I will simply end with Kyle's "eww...you peed on that thing" face after he finally allowed the idea of being a daddy settle in:

We love you all and promise to write more about my personal pregnancy "things" in a following post.

P.S. Even though this IS a public blog, we're not exactly going FACEBOOK public, lol. So please feel free to email or call.
