Little Baby Boss & Me

Little Baby Boss at 10 1/2 Weeks

So much has happened since you all have last heard from me: new job, new job for hubby, and a little baby boss inside my belly. That's right... if you haven't heard by now, here it is: Rob and I are expecting our first child! I can't say that I could be any happier!

The story of how I found out is a bit long, but interesting all the same, so I will try to give the short version. Basically my life changed completely in a matter of 48 hours! When Rob got back from Sweden, we decided to start trying to expand our little family. Then, I got a final interview with the University of Michigan, and we decided to stop. I took a test way before my missed period, and it was negative. Later that same week, I got a phone call and was offered the job! An events manager position at the University of Michigan, which is a huge honor to a Maize & Blue fan like me. My husband and I were going out to celebrate over dinner with my parents, and I told him, "You know I am just going to take another test to make sure. So we don't have any surprises down the line." 

And a wonderful surprise it was! But just to make sure I took another test...and then another! Can't be anymore positive! Well, that is until we took another digital test after my missed period. And then it was positive for sure, even for Rob! Our family has been so excited for us, and I was happy to find out that my new Supervisor was equally thrilled for us. 

Currently I am 15 weeks and little baby boss is apparently the size of an orange. I finally have a bump that shows through my tops. I will have lots of baby updates as the weeks go along, that I plan on sharing with all my loved ones who are reading. 

Another blogger did a great job keeping people up to date by answering a few questions weekly, and I have decided to imitate this idea. So here we go...
