New Year = BIG changes!

A few things that I find a little shocking...

1) We are already over a MONTH into the New Year...
(where has the time gone?!)

2) I can't believe how much life has changed
with just ONE year.

and......
3) Our lives are about to change in a BIG way
because we're having a
BABY!!


Yep... there's a little bun-in-the-Cropper-oven!


Here's how the news came about...

It was about a week before Christmas and I was a few days "late"
I was running errands at the store and I thought,
"why don't I pick up a pregnancy test just in case..."

So there I was at home alone & peeing on that little tiny stick...

When low & behold the word "PREGNANT" pops up!
I went into shock... Pretty sure I screamed and then started pacing
 back & forth having a mini freak out session saying, 
"OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY FREAKIN' GOSH!!"

Since Christmas was just ONE week away and KNOWING how my husband
is a huge sucker for surprises I decided to wait until Christmas morning to
spill the beans...
(talk about the looooongest week ever!!)


Here's how it all went down:

(quick side note: I kept teasing Grant that I was going to buy him and ipad for Christmas... if you know Grant he is VERY practical & loves saving money. He kept telling me that "we already have a laptop & don't need to spend the money on an ipad"- this ipad debate went on for a good month... therefore I thought it would be PERFECT to wrap "the big news" up in an empty ipad box to throw him off)

This is what he opened Christmas morning:


And yes... you better believe I got it on video!


So there you go!
Little baby Cropper has an official due date of
**August 20th, 2012**
