Baby on the way!

Well, Alex and I are so excited to announce that we are going to have a baby this fall! I found out a couple of weeks ago and it has been so hard not to tell anyone. We went to the Dr. on Monday and found out that I am about 9 weeks along meaning I am due the first or second week of September. I have an ultrasound next Thursday that will hopefully be able to give me a more exact date. I am very lucky to feel so great. I really haven't felt sick; I am just tired all of the time!
Tuesday, we told everyone the exciting news. It was such a fun day. To tell our parents we made a movie poster that said: Coming this fall to a home near you. . . A baby's life. produced by Alex and Mariah Matesen. The poster had the bug's life picture, but said baby's life instead. Then I had popcorn, candy, pop, and a cute hollywood clapboard. We left these on the counter in our parents kitchens. Everyone was so excited! My parents screamed and clapped. Alex's parents both cried. It is such a blessing to have such amazing families who are so supportive of us. I also got to spend some time with two of my favorite people in the world (Mandee and McKel) and they gave me a lot of advice (since between the two of them they have three kids). Overall it was a fantastic day! Fun!Fun!Fun!

I am so mad at you. I thought we had a pack. Little did I know that you were probably already pregnant or trying. Just kidding. Justin and I are both really excited for you. You guys will be great parents.
