I was about to BURST!!

Whew!! I'm glad the word is out... because 2 weeks is too long for me to hold good news. Magie and I announced on Thanksgiving day that we are going to have a baby. The last 2 weeks have been crazy! I was afraid to post anything because all that was in my mind was the baby. I literally avoided blogging. So I'm glad the word is out. We have an ultrasound on Thursday this week and we should be able to see the heart beating. I can't wait to see it, it is going to be awesome. We found out that Magie was pregnant when she was almost 6 weeks and now she is just over 8 weeks along. According to our handy dandy baby book the baby's organs are just about complete and the arms and legs are forming now along with the baby's eyes. Magie is dying for the baby to have blue eyes like my eyes. We have decided on names for the baby. If the baby is a boy we will call him Jakob Emmanuel. If she ends up being a girl :( then we will name her Sofia Adriana. I really hope the baby is a boy. I don't know why but I always wanted a boy first. Either way, we just hope the baby is healthy and we want one of each anyways. I can see it now... the baby will probably have Magie's curly hair and my blue eyes. Poor kid will probably be short because mom and dad aren't too tall. It is going to be a lot of fun! Everyone is so happy for us. We have so much planning to do. Its crazy! We should find out the babies sex in January. At that time we will be able to start decorating the baby's room. The baby's due date that we were able to figure out on line is July 15th. After our ultrasound on Thursday we will know the exact due date according to the doctor. Magie has been craving Mexican food non-stop and she has been so tired lately. It really funny to count how many times times she has to pee. The one day she was so frustrated because she went and came out and only about 5 minutes went by and she had to go again. Time seems to be flying by lately... before we know it this baby will be here. I'm so glad we have such a great family and wonderful friends. They have all been a big support. I know Magie really needs that, I can only imagine the emotional roller coaster she is on right now. Well I know I will have tons more to tell you all this week. I have to take 3 state exams this week to get licensed. So its study time for me all week. Wish me luck!
