Looking forward to: Having a baby bump and finding out the gender.

 We finally announced to the world (aka Facebook) that we are expecting! It was so hard to keep it a secret when one after another preggies were popping up out of the woodworks announcing they were expecting from 5 weeks to 11 weeks pregnant. Here I was at 12 weeks pregnant patiently waiting for my husband to get home so we could announce the news!!

For some reason (call me old fashioned) I really wanted to get the news out to the people that were most important to me first so I came up with this card idea to share the news with them. I created my postcard, went to the post office and bought stamps, and cut each one to mail them out. Then... I called everyone and told them the news over the phone. Ha! I mailed out the cards anyway in the hopes that they would arrive before the Facebook announcement. Everyone was super excited for a new baby!!
