The news is out!

Well, for those of you that have not heard our exciting news, I'll inform you like we did most everyone else...




That's right! We're pregnant! Our little Night Light, as we like to call baby Lamp, is due February 23. We apparently tried to stick with the Willis/Lamp tradition of cramming in as many birthdays in January/February/March as humanly possible.

We were able to tell most of our family in person, since we had already planned on going up to Michigan/Indiana for vacation. We visited with my parents for a few days in Michigan (where my mom actually jumped up and down in excitement after hearing the news), then drove down to Indiana to see my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, sister-in-law, niece, and nephew. And, of course, Lonnie's whole family lives here, so we were able to tell them in person as well. They were very excited to have another baby in the family, since it's been over 7 years since the last grandchild.

I had my first doctor's appointment yesterday (Tuesday), just for preliminary bloodwork, but will go back on July 23 for our first ultrasound! We'll be able to see the baby's heartbeat. Yea! We'll see how grossed out Lonnie gets during this whole process. :)

Anyways, I thought it was about time to join the blogging craze so you can all keep track of Baby Lamp's adventure into this world!
