Guess what? Oh my goodness, I can hardly even believe it. Like I said I would, I talked to Kevin last night. When we were all settled, I looked at him and said "Kevin, I want a baby." Just like that. He put his fork down (which made me quite nervous) and looked at me squarely in the eye. He seemed to stay that way forever. Then he smiled.

"I'd like that." He said. At first I didn't believe him.

"You'd what?" I asked him.

"Like that." He answered calmly. "I'd like a baby too." Well, you should have seen the look on my face. I jumped up and ran and hugged him it was so wonderful. It was a few minutes before I realized that I was crying. Don't worry, they were happy tears. Very happy tears. Anyway, we sat there hugging and crying for a long time. Finally, we sat back down and ate. I'm so exited! Kevin and I are now officially trying to have a baby! We haven't told anyone yet, so shhh. Keep your mouth (or I guess pages) shut, OK? OK. Baby, baby, baby. YAY.

Well, I've completely stocked up on home pregnancy tests, books, and all that good stuff. I've already taken one of the tests. It was negative, so I'm bummed, but hey. It's only been a week and 2 days. Today when I was in our bathroom, I took a bath towel and put it under my shirt. Well, let me just say that I will look ADORABLE pregnant. I can't wait. Sure, they say it's not all that fun, but I know that I'll love it. It was Valentines Day a few days ago. As pathetic as it sounds, Kevin took off work (as did I) and we spent the whole day together. We ate all three meals out (yum!), and of course, watched 2 sappy love movies. It was perfect! So, back to today. Now I'm home from work, and so is Kevin. We ate dinner (lasagna) and then watched TV together for a bit. Now he's out there watching the news, and obviously, I'm in our bedroom, writing. It's 5:58, so the news should be over soon. Sarah had her doctor's appointment today. The baby is doing very well, and both mother and baby are healthy. Like predicted, they think they'll be able to tell the gender by her next appointment (which is March 2). Yay. Oh, the news is ending, and here comes Kevin. Talk to ya later!
