I finally got Erik on board with the whole baby thing last summer and a couple of days before Halloween, I decided to take a pregnancy test. I couldn't believe it...I was actually pregnant. We've been married for over 6 years now and of course I knew this day would come but it was really strange knowing it was really going to happen.
I bought Erik a little onsie that said "My Daddy is #1" and gave it to him later that day. He just looked at me. "Are you serious" he asked? I told him "yes" and immediately began to cry (happy tears of course). I could tell Erik was shocked. We both thought it would take a long time for us to get pregnant but it happened pretty quickly. Can't you see the excitement in his face? J/K
A few days later, we were at Erik's parents house for Sunday dinner. As a photographer, I wanted to try and catch the moment when we told his family I was pregnant. We told everyone to sit on the couch for a quick family picture. I set the timer and before it went off, Erik said "oh by the way...Tanya's pregnant". They were supposed to freak out right then, but being the good photo subjects they were, they sat there and smiled until the flash went off. They all looked at Erik and thought he was lying and so they turned to me for verification. Of course I started crying and everyone jumped off the couch in excitement. It didn't go perfectly, but that's okay.
Later that night I called my sisters and told them the news and a few days later when my parents were finally home from their mission, we gave them a "welcome home" present with the news inside.
Erik and I are so excited for this new chapter in our life. Although, I'm not to keen on the bodily changes I'm facing. This picture was taken the night we found out....
...and this one was taken December 18th. It's not very fun seeing the scale continue to go up and I know it's only going to get worse.
Ahhh...the joys of pregnancy. :)

I LOVE the pictures! I was just thinking this morning that you need to start taking belly shots so I can see how cute you look. Try to take on every few weeks. It's going to go by so fast you won't even believe it!
You look beautiful, as always! I'm so happy for you!
I know getting a belly is a bummer... but it's like having this amazing secret that only you get to know about under there! :) You look SO PRETTY. :) I'm so excited for you both!!!:)
you should be a maternity model!
You look great no matter what...be proud of your bump!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! That's so exciting! Can't wait to read all about your journey and the adventures you'll have in this new chapter of your lives!
You looks so cute! Just enjoy it this time around...the weight always comes off easy the first time! But I know the feeling of not enjoying the weight gain. I almost started crying at my last appt. But I only have 2 weeks left, so I'm very happy it's almost over.
Besides, once that baby gets here you wont even care about the weight!
You look so cute with your tiny prego belly!! I love how you told Erik's family... that's so funny. I'm so happy for you guys!
