23 Weeks- HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well here we are at the end of 2009...What a year it has been! The first few months of the year were nothing to thrilling... Wedding planning was in full swing..March I had my bridal shower and from there time went so fast that before I knew it BAM it was June 7th and I was marrying my best friend and soul mate. Our wedding was everything I dreamed of and couldn't have asked for a better day.

From there we went on our Honeymoon...it was simple amazing, we went on a 8 day Caribbean cruise! I loved it and cant wait to go on another cruise ASAP! We moved out of our 1 bedroom apartment and into a 3 bedroom and from there we made our plans to TTC and stop the birth control pill....WELL 2 weeks after stopping the pill we got pregnant! I was so shocked it happened so soon but we couldn't be happier.....So on Aug 19th I took a pregnancy test and BFP! Who would have thought that less then 2 months after getting married we would be having a baby!

Then the countdown till we found out what little bean sprout was began...Sept came, my bday passed, Oct came Franks bday pasted....The beginning of November we went for a u/s and we got a 85% that its a girl!! 2 weeks later a 95% girl and then when I was 20 weeks along 100% girl! We couldn't be happier we both wanted a little girl and our dreams were coming true! Samantha Grace is on her way ...making her debut April 2010! So now as the new year is dawning on us, I cant wait for it to get here and we can meet our little princess!!
