HAVING A BABY!!!

Boy do I have big news! It seems like one big event after the other. Just the other day, I was writing about our marriage and Bryon's deployment. Now, only 1 month later am writing about other news.

WE ARE HAVING A BABY!

Yes, Bryon and I are having a baby! It seems that I am around 4-5 weeks along! My 8 week visit to the OBGYN is February 29th. We are so excited about this unexpected blessing. So many of life's memorable moments are happening now and we are both very grateful.

Please keep the baby in your prayers. It looks like I will be due late September, early October which is before Bryon returns. As you can imagine, this is very hard for us, despite the joy we are feeling, it will be hard going to doctors visits, seeing my tummy grow and experiencing the craziness of pregnancy without him. However, we believe this is God's beautiful and perfect will for us and that He will give us the strength to not only survive but enjoy every moment of the blessed time.

Also, if everyone reading this will please email their mailing address to me at haleymushrush@hotmail.com. I will be sending out our wedding announcements soon and soon thereafter shower invitations and invitations to our reception and want to make sure I dont miss anyone. If you know someone who does not have an email, please send their address as well. I will send out a group email for those who do not get this message later on.

Thank you all for your calls, letters and prayers these past few weeks that Bryon has been gone. As these 9 months progress, Bryon and I both will continue to appreciate your support.

Oh, and in case you cant make out the picture, it is of my pregnancy test, saying "PREGNANT".
