Sooner Birthday!

WARNING: Objects in Picture May Appear Larger Than They Are
Now the not so secret, secret I have been keeping...
I'm PREGNANT! (a collective sigh of 'phew I was going to say she had packed on some lbs' )
I am happy and excited to announce that Gabe and I are pregnant with our first baby. I am about 21 weeks along and due at the tail end of August (August 29th to be exact, though we all know how exact that really is, NOT).
We are totally jazzed as both Gabe and I have always wanted kids and this will be the first Becker grandchild for my parents, and the first BOY (yes I said BOY) for Gabe's parents in about 8 years (they have a slew of grand and great-grand kids but the last 4 have all been girls).
So many changes this year as I will be moving up to Pomona (about 2 hours from SD) after the birth of the baby and living with Gabe and then later in the year we will look to move into our own house possibly a bit closer. I still plan on working at my job (it's a great gig!) and have the opportunity to telecommute a portion of the week and then possibly stay in SD for a portion of the week when Gabe is working (he's a Police Officer so he has whacky hours). So the good news is my family and friends will get a lot of baby time (oh yeah, and still see me a tons too!)
For those of you who don't know the background; Gabe and I have had a long distance relationship for just over 3 years and he's definitely the love of my life. We have known each other for about 15 years as friends in the same circle and things just aligned and here we are!
For proof of his existence take a gander at us from our friends Sara & Nick's Wedding in 2007. I know we make a pretty good (and modest) couple! He's a handsome little devil! Hopefully our baby takes after him.
Well, that's it...that's the news...that's why I have been so sporatic in the Bloggin' department this year. But now that the cat is out of the bag (officially), I'm sure future blogs will keep you updated on the baby's progress.
Thanks for sharing in our excitement!
Happy Easter!
After dinner we all convened in the living room, or should I say Becker Bowling Alley for a little single elimination Wii Bowling. All 12 of us participated and boy all I can say is we are one competitive bunch. Even the newbies were 'in it to win it'. It took 3 rounds, but in the end, my sister's boyfriend, Jon was the victor. Though Moira gave him a run for his money in the finals.
