Attention!
COMING SOON TO A CRIB NEAR YOU
BABY GARNER
SUMMER 2009
That’s right…. WE’RE EXPECTING and we are SO EXCITED!!!
For those of you who don’t know… we weren’t even sure if we were going to be able to have kids due to a medical condition that I have. So when we found out – we were very excited and feel very blessed and are grateful for the miracle that is happening in our lives!
Now for the story…..
I was feeling sick all the time and couldn’t even think about eating so I knew something was wrong. I just assumed I was coming down with the flu, but when I was talking to one of my best friends… she said “Lisa, I bet you are pregnant, because that is exactly how I felt when I first got pregnant.” Well to be honest, I was glad she brought that up because the thought had not even crossed my mind. So I decided to take a test on November 6th when I woke up and right before I took the test I got this amazing feeling. I knew what the outcome was going to be and I felt so peaceful. So I took the test and it was positive. Some women wait and do something cute to tell their husbands… but not me lol. I couldn’t wait and he was at school (he goes every morning at 6:30am) so I called him and said, “good morning, I just wanted to let you know you are going to be a daddy.” Of course he was so excited… he left school and came straight home! I will never forget that morning and the excitement we both felt! We are starting our family and although I know there are going to be rough times… I am still so excited and grateful for the opportunity we have to have this blessing in our lives! We were going to wait until Thanksgiving or Christmas to tell our parents and families… but because I was sick… we knew they would start to wonder what was going on… so when we celebrated my little sisters birthday, we gave her a card. In the card was an announcement we made that had a picture of us holding the positive test and that said…
We’re expecting!!!
Coming soon

Summer 2009
She opened it up and started freaking out! My parents and brothers were of course trying to figure out what on earth we could have given her that would get this kind of reaction, so she read it out loud and the entire family started freaking out haha. After that no one wanted to give her their gifts because “nothing could beat that.” LOL.
The next day, we went over to see Dan’s family to tell them. We had the same announcement and when we walked in the door, Dan handed his mom the card and said, here… this was on your front porch. She opened it and started screaming as well. Of course the entire family did the same thing as my family…. Wanting to know what on earth would make her scream like this… so she read it out loud and the whole family congratulated us. This will be the first grandchild on both sides so both families are so excited and I’m sure our darling baby is going to get spoiled! We told the rest of our families (the extended families) the exciting News on Thanksgiving and are now sharing the news with everyone else!
Where we are now…..
Right now I am in my 12th week of pregnancy… next week I will be done with my first trimester and I am hoping that the nauseous feeling will go down after that. Although I have not had my official first doctor’s appointment, I did go to the doctors to get my blood drawn and had an ultra sound so they could figure out how far along I was and give me a due date. The ultra sound was so neat and even though the baby looked like a peanut… I saw the heartbeat which was very exciting!!! My due date is June 24th and I will have my first official doctor’s appointment on December 17th!
