Baby Ninja

Over the summer, Heidi started trying to have these late night talks with me while I was half-asleep about how we need to have a baby and I'd be like "What?  I'm sleeping, talk to me when I'm awake."  And it wasn't like I was trying to avoid it, I love kids and have always wanted to have kids, but it was more like I wanted to be more ready, have a place of our own, have more money, be more settled, and figure out what the heck I was going to do since my job at the time was not working out. 

So she kept telling me she was going to stop taking her birth control and I would tell her she better not. But the more I started thinking about it, the more I starting feeling more comfortable about how we do need to start having kids soon.  Why wait?  I'm going to be 30 soon (holy cow!  I know)  and the funny thing was- we were working in the nursery at church and people said that it would make us not want to have kids, but it did the opposite and made me start thinking more and more-yeah, I do want to have a baby.  I'm ready as I'll ever be.

Eventually we decided to take Heidi off her birth control and see what happens and while we were up in Seattle over Thanksgiving weekend, Heidi kept bugging me about how she needed to take a pregnancy test.  But my little sister had just gotten married and I told her it was Ashley's weekend and we need to be excited for her but we can get a pregnancy test as soon as we get back to UT.  And that's what we did.  Driving home from the airport we stopped and bought one and sure enough it said positive!  But we wanted to make sure so that's why we haven't said anything officially about it till now.

So yesterday Heidi and I went to the DTD (down there doc) and we got to hear our little baby's heartbeat.  Wow! That was cool.  It was beating so fast.  We are both super excited and can't wait to have our little hapa baby (in Hawaiian that means half white/half asian baby). Coming from a from a family of all girls, Heidi's always wanted to have just girls, but it was good for her to get to spend time with our little nephew Tyler while we were in Seattle and see how fun and cute little boys are too.  We both think we'll prob have a girl first which will be totally fine, as long as we get a few boys down the line.  Either way, all our kids will be little ninjas, play the piano and violin, love sports, the Eagles, BYU, and Duke basketball.  

So that's our news.  It's official.  Heidi's preggers and due around the beginning of August!

On another note we had a great Christmas and my favorite gift was the Eagles destroying the freaking cowboys and going to the playoffs.  This is the year baby!  All the Way!  Super Bowl Champions the Philadelphia Eagles!  please let it come true.  Happy Holidays-love the Chongers
