an introduction...

I love this song... Rodney Atkins "Watching You". It can out in 2006, and I remember Kevin had proposed and I was planning to become the future Mrs. Buck, when I heard this song for the first time. I admit that I teared up...

"He said I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you"

And that is when we started joking about when we would have kids, they would be our little buckaroos, and it became an inside joke with family and loved ones.

Well, I would like to introduce you to our Baby Buckaroo...

We are still in the first trimester, and this past week has indeed been trying. I was placed on bedrest 9 days ago and after another visit to my Doctor today, I can now return to work. We were able to see the heartbeat last week and again today, which is just amazing and takes my breath away. Things are going as well as can be expected this early in the pregnancy. Baby Buckroo will be an end of the summer baby, as my due date is Labor Day - September 7, 2009.

We actually found out on December 29, 3 years to the date that Kevin proposed. We told family (parents & siblings) a few days later, as we were going to Disney and they would figure something was up if I was not riding my favorite rides. Just last week we told the grandparents and extended family. I debated about the blog because we are still early, but we know that everything is in God's hands and it is just so nice to be able to go to friends to ask (really stupid) questions. It has been hard to be on bedrest all week and keep quiet from everyone! I will keep everyone posted... but so far so good!
