A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets.

GLORIA STUART

I am not very good at keeping secrets, and I have been keeping a couple from you. I feel so guilty, that I’m about to burst. The first is that I wasn’t in Oklahoma last week.

Crossing off #25 from my 30 Things To Do Before Turning 30 list, I went on a family vacation to Cancun, Mexico with my dad, step-mom, step-sisters, step-brother, brother, aunts, cousins, friends, and Chris. There were 14 of us all together, and I couldn’t have asked for a more fun or relaxing week!

Hopefully it’s obvious what my other secret is by the photo above, but if you must-ask…I’M PREGNANT!

Yes, I am holding a stick covered in urine in front of my face like a mustache. Doesn’t everyone get one of those shots when they find out??? Technically, I guess the first picture I captured was more like this…

Babies were off our radar with a bachelorette party, wedding, 10-year reunion, and trip to Mexico all scheduled, so I was quite surprised when I realized I was six weeks pregnant. Chris was just as surprised since he had been gone for two weeks the previous month. Call it a miraculous conception or what you wish, there is definitely a baby in there.

In six weeks it had grown from that little blip into a kiwi sized baby.

A kiwi sized baby that is moving constantly. I was overcome by joy watching my baby do somersaults in my stomach. I can’t stop smiling when I look at this precious leg.

How did Chris take the announcement? He was overcome with joy and happiness. I’m now walking proof of what a stud he is!

You might be wondering what this means for my little food and lifestyle blog. Well I can tell you things are going to get interesting, from the ever increasing growth of my belly to the bizarre things I have been eating, I plan to share it all. Stay tuned because it looks like #5 should be crossed on the list in early January.

Do you have any secrets you want to share?
