Welcome to our page!

Markus and I want to welcome you to our page! Follow along with us! We'll keep you updated as we're getting ready to make our first addition to our family. We are 3 and 1/2 months pregnant and very excited! We aren't finding out what we're having, so we can't wait for the BIG surprise on February 27, 2010.

Here's how we found out: Markus and I were at the lakehouse for Fathers' Day weekend. Just the two of us. I had a hunch and a few symptoms, so we took a pregnancy test with us. On Sunday morning, Markus said, "Good morning baby, want to take the test?" So we did--first thing that morning. I was too anxious and walked away from the test. Markus kept staring at it. Of course I was thinking, "what if I am?" After about 3 minutes, Markus asked if we were looking for a pink vertical line. Of course I didn't know! I had gotten the test from a girlfriend at work and it didn't include instructions because it was a hospital test, they don't need instructions. Time for GOOGLE. For the next 10 minutes, we were staring at tests on the internet and finally determined we were having a baby!
