What I Wish I would have known about....

PREGNANCY!!

So we have decided to let the baby out of the bag and announce that we are expecting a precious little kabinky May 11, 2012.  It was a surprise for both J and I and know that it is a precious little gift that is coming straight from heaven.  We are excited to share this special news with you and are grateful that Heavenly Father has given us this special opportunity.  We know of many friends and family who can't get pregnant, and feel for you at this time.  Many times I have felt such an extreme sense of humbling gratitude for a loving Heavenly Father who trusts me enough to have a baby and pray often that everyone who has tried or is trying to have a baby could.  On a more lighter note here are some fun facts about what I have learned from pregnancy. 

• Heavenly Father is definitely all knowing, just being pregnant prepares you for children.  
• You pack tons of snacks for wherever you go.
• You schedule afternoon naps into each day
• You know the fastest route to the bathroom wherever you go and know that you will use it at least two times in the course of your stay.  
• Eight hours of sleep a night are long gone and twelve hours becomes a necessity
• 9:30 becomes a late night
• Tastes definitely change. Ice cream is really no longer appealing and a big glass of skim milk is a treat.  
• You actually do crave pickles all the time and everything tastes better with mustard!
• You cry over silly things like burning the eggs and you know it seems awfully silly but you cry anyways.  
• Whatever you crave is what your body needs like tons of beans, fish, oranges galore, and sugar free cranberry juice.  
• water is a staple and you drink tons and tons and tons!

So just for fun if you have any pregnancy tips please feel free to share them with us!
