A summer to remember ...

Wesley and I had an interesting summer to say the least. I turned 30 in June and embraced that 30 was really the new 20! We went on vacation in July to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. We were desperate for some much needed R&R. Unfortunately, didn't quite get what we bargained for ...

It was 105 days of pure agony, but as soon as October hit - the countdown was on! We had no idea how quick it would take for us to get pregnant, so we tried to keep an open mind.

We were told to keep our news to ourselves until the dating ultrasound took place on November 13th.

That is when we found out the biggest news of our lives ...
