Guess What....

I'M PREGNANT!!!! Chap and I will be expecting our first child in November, and we couldn't be more excited!! We've hoped, prayed, wished, and dreamed of this for a very long time now so for it to actually be here is very surreal for us both...and just imagine, we still have 7 months to wait! =)

Just for the record, my husband is awesome. If he has HALF the patience with our child as he has had with me throughout this process, he will be an amazing father! I'd like to say these are the only two pregnancy tests that I've taken, but in all honesty I was still taking tests to see the 'positive' sign up until this week, when we finally got to see the baby's heartbeat on the ultra sound. To put it lightly, I've been a little worried...like I said, after waiting for this for so long it's almost too good to be true!

I appreciate all of our friends' and families' support, love and prayers through this process and I apologize for losing my sanity on a number of occassions. =) I love you all dearly and am grateful for your continued love and support! (I'll be posting more on the 'big reveals' a little later!)

Life is a Jar of Jalapenos said...

Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you! You are a beautiful lady and will be a beautiful mom! My heart dropped when I read it, I'm just so excited for you. :)

Chap and Heather said...

Awww...thanks everyone! These had me tearing up several times...if you thought I was emotional before, you should see me now! =) Yes, I will post the good, the bad, and the ugly! It should be an adventure...I can't wait! Chap and I really appreciate all the love and sweet comments!!

Krissee said...

I finally have access to post .... Poppy and Cookie cannot wait for little Larry Norm Gourley Rollings or Eva Sueann Gourley Rollings to arrive. Everyone thinks if you already have grandchildren that it is old hat, but that is just not true. Every grandchild is a brand new bundle of love, part our child and part our awesome in-law child. I hope me and my BFF do not have to fight over hugs and kisses too much, there should be plenty to go around. We pray for a healthy child, and we know there will be lots of love from everyone. We love you Chap and Heather. We know you will be great parents. Keep in mind, Chap loves it when kids are very naughty, and encourages them to be so....Note...post is under Krissee's login.

Finally, it's public! I have been checking every day looking for this one! I am so happy for the both of you! You will be more than amazing parents!!! I am so glad you heard the heartbeat and things are going well. Please keep us posted. Willie Nelson Rollings quit running with scissors! Ashley and I will still vote for that name or Shania Twain Rollings....just sayin'
Much Love,B
