The Big News!

Well, today was the big day! Nine days late and feeling quite suspicious. Woke up early this lovely morning, assuming a negative pregnancy test was on the horizon... Low and behold....


Oh my!



Unfortunately, Daniel just left for field training a week prior so I had to pick up my jaw from the floor on my own and decide how I was going to break the news. A few hours later Daniel called me on a break and we talked for a few minutes. Telling each other how much we missed each other (ew, barf, I know) when he told me he couldn't wait to get home to me in 13 days. Now originally I wanted to wait to tell him in person... But after the realization that I still had 13 more days to hold in the secret of a lifetime, I blurted out "Daniel, I can't do this! I'm pregnant." In which he responded "holy shit baby! Are you serious?! Oh my god!! Hughes! West! (which are some of his friends in his platoon) come here! Ashley, say it again!"

Needless to say, this dude was thrilled. And I am beyond ecstatic. :)

I know there is absolutely no change in my body at 5 weeks and 4 days in. However, I had to take a picture of my tummy on the day we found out I was pregnant.. This one is for the books!
