Belated Christmas Gift

This past Saturday, December 29, Brad and I received our best Christmas gift yet... a positive pregancy test. That's right! A baby. We were surprised (to say the least), but so excited! I have been pretty sick, but it's worth it, I'm told. I can't button my jeans and today had to buy some with an elastic waistband! I've purged my wardrobe of things I won't be able to wear here in a few weeks. It is very sad to see all the clothes I won't wear for 9 month, but the ladies in our church have already begun to bring me maternity clothes they've had in storage. It's great! Brad has already begun talking to my tummy, even though the baby is the just the size of an orange seed. He wants a girl and keeps talking to "her". If she is a girl, she'll be MacKenzie Grace Schubert. If he's a boy, he'll be Heath Michael Schubert. I don't care what the baby is, just as long as he or she is healthy.

Our snow was beautiful. We only got about 8 inches, although others in the city got up to 2 feet! Brad kept the walks clear by shoveling every hour. He had so much fun! Just like a kid!
