First we had each other, then we had you, and then we had everything!

I am about to embark on the most exciting adventure of my life. At exactly 11:01 a.m. on December 26, 2008, I found out that I am expecting my first child. My husband Tony and I have been married since July 7, 2007 but until recently hadn't been trying to start our little family. But we've been hearing our biological clocks ticking fairly loudly in our ears and decided that it was high time to create a new little Anderson! We couldn't be more excited and happy. When I saw those 2 little lines on the pregnancy test, I immediately started to cry. Then I picked up the phone and called my sister, Angie, who lives in Phoenix. Since she wouldn't get the news in person like everyone else in the family, I thought it was only fair that I tell her first! :-) She can't wait to be an aunt for the first time! It's all starting to sink in that I'm actually going to be a mommy. By this time next year, I'll have a newborn! Unbelievable! Well, ready or not, here it comes! My only prayer is that God gives Tony and I the wisdom and courage to bring up our child in the ways of the Lord and that our baby always knows, from the moment we lay eyes on them for the first time, that it will always be loved, no matter what.
