Announcement!!!!

Mikey & I have some exciting news! We'll be welcoming Baby Martin in November of this year! We've hit the 13 week mark and are sailin' right along. We found out 2 days before Mike's 25th birthday [on March 8th] and have slowly been spilling the secret to our family and friends. We've had our first 2 appointments and so far the little bambino is growing nicely. At the first appointment we had an ultrasound and it looked like a blob, but hey - it's our little blob (: We've decided NOT to find out the gender of the baby...since we've started talking / dreaming about kids we agreed that we wanted baby #1 to be a surprise. Just know, if Mike calls it a boy he really doesn't know - and if you hear me call it a girl in response to his calling it a boy, I don't know either. Everything will be gender neutral and green...my favorite color, of course. 

We are super stoked and feel extremely blessed to begin this journey [well, continue it since we've been on it for 13 weeks] and hope that you'll journey with us from being married to being first time parents.
