Eating for 2!

A couple things you might have missed (or maybe you noticed) in the pictures from the cruise... There isn't a single picture of me sipping on an alcoholic beverage... or participating in anything too crazy. See...

That's right my friends...

These two crazy kids...

ARE GOING TO BE PARENTS!!

Don't believe me? How about this...

Or this?

And to answer a few of your questions:

-Yes this was planned. (whoo who!!)

-I'm 6 weeks along... and have my first OB appointment on October 8th! According to my calculations (and the help of a few websites) my approximate due date is May 18th.

-We found out the day before we left for the cruise... thankfully!

So while we have a long road ahead of us and we're all excited... I'm still nervous for the first trimester. So far I'm feeling awesome. Just a bit bloated, which could be from all the pizza and ice cream I had on the cruise.  And I'm extremely exhausted ALL. DAY. LONG! But no sickness so far!!  But from what I hear, that can still hit at any time.  I'm hoping I continue on this path, considering my sister and mom both had limited sickness during their pregnancies.

And thanks to the awesome technology of the internet... I was able to find out what our child will look like, be it a boy or a girl! I'm a bit worried.

Band of Brothers said...

YAHOO! You did an AMAZING job breaking the news. I was wondering how you were gonna tell your story! You are so cute and I would not worry one bit about the looks of your baby! It's gonna be the cutest thing EVER!!!! You're such a good little mama already.

mrs schienbein said...

This is me being so envious I just punched a co-worker in the face. (I wish that were true...wouldn't it be rad to be that weird?)

YAY!!! that is so exciting Colleen! Congrats to you both...way to get knocked up!

CeCe said...

YeAH YEAH yeah! Can't wait to meet baby Sherminator. Why oh why does it take babies so long to bake?! :)

Braden's Mommy said...

Ok, I really wanted you guys to have a boy but after seeing those pictures I'm thinking a girl may turn out cuter! HA! Just kidding! (those pictures are hilarious though).

Marcy and Sid said...

Your baby couldn't help but be cute!! You know we'll think our grandkids are the cutest ever. And we know you will make wonderful parents. We're SO excited for you and our growing family.

Design Gal said...

YAY! How exciting! Sorry you couldn't get your drink or zip on while you were on your cruise. But the new babe will be worth it all!

SOOO happy for you!

Jana said...

YAYYYYY!!!!! I KNEW it was only a matter of time!! ;) CONGRATS!!!! I am SO excited for you, Cole!!! Why in the world did my bloglines NOT tell me that you'd updated your blog?! I'm so glad Christie linked it to her blog! I hope you continue to feel good! My OB told me the worst is usually between weeks 7 and 11 (I was sick from 7-8 1/2 wks.) Keep us posted on everything!!! :)

proseandconverse said...

I saw "Eating for 2" and immediately started tearing up. CONGRATULATIONS!!! My first thought was: "That lucky kid is going to have the best baby album ever!" ;)

Can't wait to follow your progess. :)

home2k9 Alpha said...

OMFG. Totally surprised me! Congrats though, you're going to be great parents. Tell Rocco to get himself ready, big change's coming!

wishcake said...

Oh my gosh! I totally didn't even get the vibe of this post until you actually said you were pregnant. I need to work on my hint-taking skills apparently.

That said, I am totally and entirely excited for you! You have NO IDEA! I straight up gasped here at work when I read this - gasped with glee and excitement! (I feel bad because one of my first thoughts was, "Dude, she is going to take some amazing photos of this kid." Heehee.)

You two are going to be amazing parents. And don't believe that funky website; I did it, and it's going to work as birth control for me, for the next few years. It was that bad.

Aaaaaaand I'm so excited for you and your hubby. I'd call you and squeal if I actually knew you. But I'll have to settle on this incredibly long winded blog comment instead...

:)

Talia said...

WOW!! Congratulations!!! So, so exciting. I am always overjoyed to welcome anyone I know (even if it is only through blogging :)) to the wonderful world of being a parent. Such a huge blessing!!! I can't wait to read all about the next 8 months, and to meet your little one when all is said and done.

by the way, I LOVE the way you did this post. It is so sneaky and creative. :)

congrats again!!!

Ashley said...

Oh, that's SOOOO exciting!

Colleen! I'm beaming with excitement for you. That is such wonderful news. I'm sure Angela is thrilled, too, that you are gonna join the parenting world and give Braden a freakin' adorable, funny, precious little cousin.
Now, I want to hear how you broke the news to your families! (I am only assuming that Angela and your folks and Kyle's folks knew before you posted this blog.)

Mama2 said...

To my dear little Marky's friend who turned into Marky's cousin. In high school I was afraid you and Mark would kill each other and yet you've both lived to have babies. YEAH! Can I be Mama2 to the Sherminator?
