Happy Early Father's Day...JOHN

And I don't just mean from Bentley :) Surprise! We are expecting a baby. Trust me, we were just as shocked as you probably are. We found out about a month ago and had our first doctor appointment yesterday. Anyone who knows John has heard about our "five year plan." He made it very public knowledge. God has laughed in the face at our five year plan. We definitely weren't trying and were actually still on the pill. God's timing definitely wasn't our timing. Yesterday made it very real for us though and we are super excited about the new little addition to our family come January. My due date is January 14 so at least I will totally make it through football season (that made it a little easier to tell John). We heard the heartbeat yesterday and that was very fun. We were waiting to tell our little secret until we went to the doctor and made sure everything was okay. The doctor said everything measured perfectly and he or she has a very strong little heartbeat. We would appreciate your prayers as we venture into this very unfamiliar territory. We definitely are going to need to invest in a book about how to adjust a little pup to a baby...he is not going to like giving up his center-of-attention status!
