Life with Liv, Lai, + Lera

Today was our first doctor's appointment! I left right after school and my friend Diana went with me to the doctor's office and sat with me until my parents got there. My mom, dad, and sister were supposed to leave early to be at my appointment by 3:40. However, on the way the Yukon begin acting funny so they had to turn around to go get my dad's truck. My mom was panicking because she didn't think they were going to make it on time. But, as always, they never fail me. As soon as I went into the room my family showed up! Thank goodness! So....I met Dr. Taylor for the first time today and I love him!! The facility is gorgeous, the receptionist was precious, the nurse is wonderful! Dr. Taylor said that everything looks and feels great. They think I am about 7.3 weeks, which makes the due date around Nov. 19th. I have my next appointment in 2 weeks. They are going to do an ultrasound to hopefully get a more accurate due date! 

It's such a girl thing to instantly think about all the shopping there is to be done. My mom has already bought me two baby books and a sweet blanket! Janet and I went out shopping at a few Baby boutiques! There are so many adorable outfits, shoes, hats.....etc. I found a really cool store, Tweed Baby Outfitters, that I am going to be visiting often! They have really unique diaper bags too! We also went by Janet's store to see all the baby furniture lines she has connections with. I found some awesome baby beds, storage units, changing stations, and the list goes on. I can't wait to begin designing the baby's room. Oh how much fun this is going to be!!!

We came to Nashville this morning to share our exciting news with Cody's family! We had a frame made for them that had "Baby Willoughby on it. As soon as they opened it, they immediately began crying, laughing, and celebrating! They are soooooo happy! 

Wow! We are going to be parents! We found out that we are pregnant on Wednesday, March 23rd! I couldn't tell my parents over the phone, so I immediately told Cody we were heading to Newbern. When I got home my Mom had just left to take my sister to my Nana's house. My dad was sitting at the kitchen table, so I went ahead and asked him if he was ready to be a grandaddy. He became very emotional (but tears of joy, of course). After celebrating he quickly got his game face on and told me that we had to go hide our car so that Mom wouldn't know that we were home. When Mom came home 20 minutes later, she walked into the living room to put her purse down and there we sat. She looked shocked, but then realized the news that we were about to tell her! She jumped up and down forrrreeeever! I then told my sister and the rest of my close family! My family is so excited! It's amazing the baby isn't even here yet and it has already brought us so much happiness!
