Drum roll please..........

Well here is the big news.

WE ARE PREGNANT.

It's feels so weird. It doesn't quite feel real. I can't really imagine being a mom yet. It's freaky to think that there is something growing inside me. I feel like there is an alien in there or something. hahaha. But I am very excited. We have been trying since January so it didn't really take very long to get pregnant.

Man it is going to be fun to see a little mini Selena or Russ.

It's going to be even more fun to see Russ as a DAD

(and see him change some poopy diapers, hahaha).

There will be lots of changes coming up here soon.

Russ is graduating, we are moving to Arizona, Russ will be looking for new jobs, we will be looking for a place to live (possibly a house) and we will be having a baby. Wish us luck with that! I am ready for the new adventures that await us!

THE STORY!

Last Saturday I had a rough day at work. I was stressed and grumpy. I had a busy, stressful, and not so good day. I worked 11 hours and left around 9:30pm. Looking forward to crashing at home with my hubby, I call Russ to see what he is doing. I had no idea that he was at BYU in a lab doing homework. So I was upset that he was not home and that I had such a crappy day. So what did I do? I went to Cold Stone. I got my oatmeal cookie batter mixed with banana and mix in coconut (my fav right now) and waited about a half hour to get it. Ok that made things a TINY bit better. On my way home I was passing a Walgreens, I was already about 2 days late on my period so i stopped to get a pregnancy test. I got home and took one. I have taken a few pregnancy tests in my day (all negative) and this time I waited the allotted 2 minutes and i saw a line I have never seen before.

POSITIVE.

Here is the first picture I took of it on my phone.

I immediately texted this pictures to Russ with a caption that said "hhhuuuummmmmmmm".

This was his response back.

"Hahahahahaha.......Oh buddy........"

that is so russ isn't is? haha

He came home right away and we were both really excited!

How do we tell everyone? That is our next question!?! Russ addressed the issue of waiting to tell people in case of miscarriage ect but if you know me I can NOT wait and i CANNOT hold something like this inside of me. So of course I needed to tell people right away. We wanted to be creative and to catch people off guard. So we decided to make a video and send it to everyone. Something kind of random but I think it worked really well. Here you guys go. Check out our video we made for family and friends. We just emailed it to everyone!!!

When I told my parents I just said "Hey check out this funny video Russ and I made!" and we watched them over skype and filmed there reaction. I think it is so funny that they all had such blank expressions. they were trying to comprehend what they just heard! hahaha!

Now of course I am telling the world. We hope and pray for a healthy HAPPY baby and we can't wait! I have yet to go to the doctor but i did one of those due date calendar things online and it says around November 4th! They funnest thing about this whole thing is that I will be near my family and friends! I can't wait!

I love you Russ! I'm so excited to start our family!
