My Parents-To-Be

So who are these two people that are going to be my parents?
Mom just turned 29, is a third grade teacher who was born in the Philippines but grew up in Australia. She came to the US with her parents when she was 17, went to school, and eventually met Dad while she was working as an admin while waiting to get into the Dallas ISD. Here she is at their apartment they lived in when they were first married.
Dad is 32, and works as a writer/producer at a software company making video games. He was born in England to an English mother and an Irish father, and came to the US with his parents when he was 3. Hmmm - Mom is from the Philippines and Dad is from the UK - I guess that means that I will be a first-generation American!

It's Official!

Mom and Dad went in to get a sonogram today, and Mom is officially pregnant! Here I am, hanging out upside down in Mom's tummy. Mom and Dad are calling me "BH" (Baby Hurley) for the time being. They've been trying for nearly a year to bring me together, and it finally happened. They are so happy!
The nurse says I am the size of a gummy bear right now, and my heart is beating about 180 beat per minute - very healthy! Dad "got something in his eye" when he heard the heartbeat for the first time (the big wuss) and mom got teary as well. I am about 2 months along, due around the last week of August/first week of September.

Mom is Pregnant?

Dad had a funny feeling, so Mom took a test today, and guess what? It was positive! If it's true, it means that I have been growing inside since the last week of November and no one knew. Good thing Mom never drinks! :) Here are Mom and Dad on their wedding day. Who knew that 2 years later, I would be coming along? Mom is making a doctor's appointment for next week to know for sure.
