April 6, 2011

Ok, so since I found out I was pregnant on July 31st, all I can think about is my baby who is due for arrival on April 6, 2011. Pregnancy is the most consuming experience I've ever had in my life! Chris and I have experienced some of our greatest joys and greatest sorrows because of pregnancy - it's truly amazing!

Just so you know, we're planning to find out our baby's sex on November 4th, which is right around the corner! I'll keep you posted :)

Chris and I are going camping this weekend, and I'm planning on him taking a picture of my ever expanding belly pooch, so I'll post that too.

We've already picked out names too. If it's a boy, his name will be Adam Wayne. Wayne is Chris's dad's middle name. If it's a girl, her name will be Harper Rae. Rae is short for Rachael, which is my mom's middle name. For obvious reasons I didn't want to go with Rachel or Rachael again ;)

I've already been informed that the Murphy grandparents are going to be traveling to Yuma once a month when the baby comes. We've also had people volunteer to babysit for us! In general, the support we've received from our family and friends has been incredible.

I'm so content now. I only wish I could've known this would be my reality back when I was struggling with infertility and the miscarriage.

This baby is proof that everything in life happens for a reason. I always knew that, but now I believe it.
