This has been my favorite "accomplishment" yet. I have always wanted to be a mother and couldn't wait until the day we were ready to start a family!
Even though I have always looked forward to being a mother, I never wanted to be pregnant. It just didn't sound appealing, more like "dues" you had to put in. No alcohol, gaining weight, not sleeping on your stomach, being exhausted, and not eating certain foods just sounded like 9 months of misery. Turns out, I absolutely loved every minute of my pregnancy! It was such a neat experience, I had an easy and wonderful pregnancy with no complications. To be honest, I felt completely normal except when I would look in the mirror or try to put on my normal clothes. What a miracle that something so delicate and complex was formed inside of me in just 9 short months! God is so good.

First glimpse of our little nugget and we were able to see the heartbeat!
We loved sharing our news with family and friends!
The night we found out we were having a baby BOY!!
The grandparents were so excited for their first grandson!
25% creepy and 75% beautiful and amazing!
We bought a house! Can't wait to make it a home :) 
Beginning of my 3rd Trimester in Reykjavik, Iceland.
8 Weeks to go, hiking along the Potomac River in Maryland.
4 Weeks to go at Wrightsville Beach, NC
Not only was my pregnancy so much better than I anticipated, but so was my labor and delivery (thanks to the epidural and a wonderful doctor)! I was induced at 9:00 am on May 26, 2016, and at 9:53 pm we welcomed Holden Matthew Walters into the world. He weighed 7 lbs 7oz and was 20 inches long! The moment our baby boy was placed on my chest and I looked at my husband (who was holding back tears) was BY FAR, THE BEST MOMENT OF MY ENTIRE LIFE.
The greatest adventure of our lives has officially begun! We have no idea what we are doing, but we are enjoying figuring this all out together. We love being parents and the love we have for our son is so much more than we could have ever imagined.
