Wonderful news!

Well, we have posted the news on Facebook now, so the whole world should (mostly) know what is now public information. After years of trying, we have finally made it so now I have become pregnant with our first child. It is so overwhelmingly great that Heavenly Father has listened to our prayers and that we have sought the right avenue to get the help we needed to get to this point.

Albeit, it was hard to accept every disappointment along the way, but it has paid off in the end. Ryan and I are so grateful for all the prayers and thoughts in our behalf to make this happen. We continue to pray that the baby will grow to be a healthy boy or girl we can call our own.

I'm continuing to work, although, I got a different job within the company I'm currently working at. I went from part-time to full-time with a different job position as a Content Strategist. I am now helping to build information on web site architectures for custom websites our team work on for companies and provide instructions to my team's Writers and Implementation Specialists how to write and gather together content so it can be ready to add to the new websites we build for our clients. (Hopefully that makes sense.)

Ryan is still working at Solutionreach and I'm so proud of him for completing this last semester with great scores in his classes. Two B's! He made it! It's just a matter to see how much more is required of him to finally graduate, so he can leave that part of his life behind him. It will be nice once he can get a significant pay raise after he fully graduates.

With our new addition coming to us late February, we need to prepare to move into a bigger place. Where that will be is still unknown for we have much research to do. We want to live closer to work and not be too far away from my doctor and a hospital that I can deliver in. Hopefully, after doing some work on our end to see what we can afford and what help we can receive from realtors, I hope that we can find our next place of residence good enough for a growing family.

I have my next OB appointment this upcoming Tuesday, so I hope to post ultrasound pictures soon on Facebook!

That's it for now, and thanks to everyone for your thoughts/prayers in our behalf. Love you all!
