bills excellent adventure

Ladies and Gentlemen it has finally happened!
I am officially pregnant, knocked up, bun in the oven, with child, expecting a bambino, or however else you want to say it!
Can you say it's about time!!!
Lets just take a moment and let this soak in......
Also, lets take a moment to look at this photo and think how cute the children we make will be:
 I know, glorious.

Now not to taint the excitement of finally being pregnant, but this has also been tinged with some sadness. 
Lame I know.
Originally we were due to have twins.
Can I just tell you how excited we were to be having 2!
I mean I'm going to be 35 in October so we really don't have many years left to have these babies.
Plus I admit I felt special that I was getting 2 at once.
We had started calling them Bill & Ted, because this was going to be an excellent adventure!
Unfortunately there was always concern about Ted because he was a week behind in size (which is actually normal), but then my yolk sac for him was measuring too large (seriously baby you are supposed to suck those nutrients up!). Then at 9 1/2 weeks we found out his heart had stopped beating.
Man oh man was I a cry baby that day I found out! 
I may be greedy, but I super wanted them both.
Even though Scott was worried about having multiples, he too was really sad. Maybe he's even taking it worse cause he still is hoping for a miracle that the ultrasounds were wrong and Ted will be fine.
So here I am having my first baby and miscarriage at the same time.
Very mixed emotions.

Anyway, that's the story and we at least still have Bill.
Also, we are pretty sure that Bill will be a girl...because the fact is the Steele family seems to only have girls.
Most likely we will get the kid above, but I really hope she's something more like this:
Crazy red curly hair with a Scottish accent!!
Totally could happen!!

Be watching for baby Steele come March 20th!!!

  2. Please don't think you are greedy for wanting both of your babies! I can't imagine how hard that must be, and I'm so sorry you both are going through this. But I'm also excited for you, since a girl named Bill will have to be cool.

  3. SO thrilled for you guys! Parenthood truly is an excellent adventure, and I know you're going to rock at it. AND JUST THINK OF YOUR BABY'S AMAZING DANCE ABILITIES!?! OMG. Going to be so good.

    And I'm so sorry about Ted. I can't even imagine the mix of emotions going through you guys right now. I will pray that you are finding peace and comfort. xoxo

  4. Also, if your baby comes out fully bearded, you guys are going to be bazillionaires when you sell your story to the tabloids, so let's hope for that!!!! ;)
