Girls Night Out

I was excited to be able to spend an evening with my best friends last weekend, without kids or husbands or other interruptions. Something about that time together just does a lot to lift my mood. However, I do have a confession to make. I lied through my teeth during a few moments of conversation during the evening. 

So, knowing full well that I will have some people wanting to hit me, Brandon and I are now announcing that I am 7.5 weeks pregnant and expecting our third child in April 2009. I usually don't make a pregnancy announcement until after 12 weeks, but there have been too many situations requiring explanation to hold out any longer. This makes me nervous as I have had more "problems" with this pregnancy than my previous two-- so I'm praying I don't lose this one and have to retract the announcement... but I had an ultrasound done last Friday morning and saw a teeny peanut of a baby with a fluttering heart, so.... so far, so good.
