The news everyone's been suspicious of, but just waiting to hear....

....We're having a baby! We're expecting the newest member of our family in November, and couldn't be more thrilled! I have officially hit my 12-week mark, and it's a good thing because I don't think I could have kept the secret much longer. I've learned that it's much easier to keep a pregnancy to yourself when you're feeling good, which I always have in the past (for the most part). For some reason this pregnancy decided to bring with it every possible symptom full speed ahead. Fortunately I am just beginning my second trimester and fully expecting a very near end to all the unfavorable early-pregnancy symptoms :) Jacey and Broden are so excited! I realize Broden looks like he could care less, but in his defense I took those pictures after he had already been sleeping for an hour. I forgot that I meant to take them before he was in bed and was bummed because I thought I was going to have to wait until tomorrow. Lucky for me, but unlucky for him, he fell out of bed and woke up anyways. I seized the opportunity for the photo shoot to make our announcement and he did not give me his most cooperative smiles. Jacey is really hoping for a girl, but Broden wants a boy. We told them yesterday, and I am grateful that we waited until we were ready for EVERYONE to know. I was congratulated today by many complete strangers at church, all of whom mysteriously serve in primary. Hmm....
