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!

OK, I'm seriously tearing up right now. Super excited for baby boy Ruiz!!, but it is kind of just hitting me now that you are going to be living 10 minutes away from me anymore. No more spontaneous get togethers to watch reality TV or meeting after work to run errands together. Do they have Target in Pamona?
Yea! Finally, the big announcement. :) I am excited that you and baby will be living closer to us (sorry Moira but it's time to share her!) -- and for all the excitement that is yet to come!
CONGRATULATIONS Gwen and so glad the cat is out of the bag and I can finally see your preggers belly - you're adorable! Can't wait to meet your little guy...
Love it! Congrats on the little one - he is going to be a lucky kid to have you guys for parentals! What am I going to do without you in the office?!?!
