Before Andy and I wanted to start a family, we had a dream of traveling to Europe. We were lucky enough to fulfill our dream last May when we traveled to Italy for 2 weeks! It was the most amazing experience that I have had until....we found out we were pregnant.
The picture above is a photo taken after a race we participated in. This was the day we found out I was officially pregnant! We werent in any hurry or anything but God blessed us in his timing of course and we couldnt be happier. That was one of the best and most exciting days of our life!
We were able to keep the secret for about 4 whole days before telling our parents the big news. We surprised them with a funny gift. Andy and I were both little trouble makers and both happened to get the wooden spoon on our butts quite a bit. Also, I never could seem to not get into things and not break things. My Grandma had to "Katie-ize" her house before I came over. So we thought it would be funny to give our parents wooden spoons. Attached to the spoons was a card that said "Get your wooden spoons ready, June is drawing near, Put away your breakables, Baby Riva will soon be here". their reactions were priceless! We told the rest of the family about a week later and gave them Baby Ruth bars that actually said Baby Riva on them. The picture picture above is the announcement that we sent to all of our family and friends. So far everything has been a whirlwind of emotions (litterally) and very surreal. I know that the next best day of my life will be when we finally get to meet our sweet little baby.
