A few days ago, I had the pleasure of listening to my slow rhythmic heart beat and another beat, rapid and fluttering quietly in time with me.
I am pregnant. And for the first time in my life, I am sharing all my experiences with another little soul. Up until now, it was only me. I was all alone. Even after being married, it was still me on my own sometimes. But now whatever I do, this little one, is there... there on my bike rides and at work and while I sleep... growing.
So, besides the fact that I can't stand chocolate now and I crave chicken nuggets and marinara sauce all the time, (not together) and I go to bed and wake up with a stomach ache, I remember this is something big. It is divine and it is a gift. It is our gift. Our first baby.

Wow. What great news! You will both be amazing parents. What a lucky little kid is on its way.
OH KATIE CONGRATS!!!!!! I can't wait for you to be a mommy! You will be a great one :) Enjoy every minute starting now! It all goes by so quickly
Just so you know I did get your text, but I was somewhere I couldn't answer it! I am SO excited for you!!!!!! You will be such an amazing mother - wow - the funny thing is, I remember when I was pregnant with George thinking about the Two Heartbeats thing - I even wrote a poem about it.
Kate, so excited for you guys!!! Keep us updated -- Greg and Teresa...PS How do you feel about being a ticking time bomb? lol!!!
Oh wow!!! Congratualtions! I'm thirlled for you and John!
Yay Yay Yay! Congrats! We are so happy for you guys. When are you due? What a lucky baby to get you two for parents.
This news makes me happy, Katie. And I loved how beautifully you announced this news. Congrats to you, my friend. What wonder awaits.
Oh, and I think that Lindsay should share her poem, no?
I'm so happy for you two! You will be wonderful parents. If pregnancy is hard, don't worry, being a mom is so much better!
That is so exciting. Get used to the feeling of someone being attached to you all the time because once they are born they will be attached to your boobs at all times. ;)
You always have an amazing way of wording the beautiful events in life! I am so happy for you!!! I can't wait! I told my mom and she wants to know what the baby is AS SOON as you find out, she wants to make a blanket and start shopping for him/her!! :)
Wonderful news. I love this post, the way you shared your news. I really like you, Katie! Glad things are going well. Good Luck!
Congrats....so excited for you guys!!!
I understand how you feel I totally don't want to eat chocolate either :) Congrats to you and John!
Katie! That is fantastic news! Congratulations! (Lovely post, by the way.)
YEA!! Call me if you need to comiserate on not feeling well... I remember those days all too well. But yes, its totally worth it. We ADORE Spencer!
I thought that you were announcing twins, by the title of your blog post. :)
Congratulations, Little Red. You are gonna be one rocking mama!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!! I dislike finding things out like this on blogger, but I guess that's what happens when we don't see/talk to each other that often....but I'm still so glad to find out and am SO SO happy for you guys :) Can't wait to hear more about this little one. You're going to be a great Mother!
Congratulations! I'm on the other end of the pregnancy journey, as our little Claire was just born on Father's Day. I'll admit, I like this end much more! I hope that pregnancy is kind to you and you don't feel too miserable too much of the time. But even if you do, it truly is worth it (such a cliche, but so true). It's funny - I just spent 9 months feeling completely horrible, and now I don't remember much of the hassle at all as I look at my sweet new baby. Crazy.
Katie! I had no idea! I'm so happy for you. Congratulations. I hope things continue to go well with the pregnancy. (This is Tricia, by the way...in case you are wondering.Ü )
