Projects and Babies

Well, I'm not sure where to start. There has been a lot going on here. I'll start with Josh's man projects. It's so great to married to man that is good with his hands :)
This is his Ohio State cornhole boards. I managed to find the OSU bean bags online for him. It's a really fun outdoors game that's big in his home state. I had never heard of it before, but find it's a great way to spend sunny Sunday afternoons.
The next project was one that I had some influence on. Our master bathroom vanity was in bad shape. To top it off, the sink kept clogging and it was starting to smell. Really bad. So we decided to replace it. The homeowner picked up all the costs so it made it a lot more fun to do. We replaced the mirror and the ugly little shelf above the sink. Here is what the final product looks like:
It turned out to add more space in our bathroom without getting rid of any drawer space. 

I didn't blog for fear of spilling our secret before we told our parents. We had found out that we were pregnant. It's kind of a funny story on how it happened. We had been trying for a baby but I think anytime you see the 2nd little blue line appear, it surprises anyone. It was a normal work day for us. Josh left just as I was getting up and getting ready. I took a test that morning since it was around the time that we could find out, but I wasn't really hopeful that it would be positive. I had seen enough negatives ones to not get my hopes up. I looked down at the little stick and noticed a 2nd line forming..
I freaked out.
I started running down the hallway calling Josh's name. I could hear his truck and was hoping he was still inside. He wasn't. I called him and found him driving down the street already. Now that week, one of dogs had been really sick and was at the doggy hospital. When I called, I was out of breath and asking if he could come back home. He started to get nervous thinking one of the other dogs had gotten sick as well. Knowing that he would want to know why I was acting odd, and that I can't keep a secret to save my life, I told him,
"We're pregnant"
He was just as excited as I was. We both wanted to tell everyone right away. However, Josh's parents were coming to town in a few weeks for a visit and we were going to see my parents then as well. We decided to wait until then to tell them. We wanted to do it when we could tell them in person and when they were all together. It worked out perfectly. We told some of our friends to tide us over until the big announcement.
Here is the reaction to telling our parents :)
It's pretty cute and worked perfectly. We went shopping that day and got the crib and some other things for the baby and the nursery. Now that everyone knew, it made it so much more real!
