Yes, we are expecting!!! It's hard to even find words for the way I felt the moment I found out that I was pregnant. It was nothing less than a rush of about every emotion one can feel. Of course my first thought was "oh my God, is this real?!" As my heart raced when I saw the results of that test I felt an excitement like I've never felt before. It was a combination of happiness, and then a moment of feeling scared; Am I ready for this, are we ready for this?? Then I thought of Jarrod, and how I couldn't wait to tell him. I stood there by myself with a grin on my face that nothing could take away. My next thought was, how do I tell him? Of course I wanted to do something fun! So within seconds I was in the office wrapping the test up in a box and put it under the tree for an early Christmas present. Then I heard the garage door open, my heart started pounding again. He walked in, and all I could say was hi, of course with this stupid grin that I still couldn't wipe off my face. Being his typical self he didn't notice that anything was off, so he continued to his regular after-work routine. So after I sat there on the couch for about a minute hoping he would come in and see the present, it felt as if I was waiting an eternity. I went into our room and said, I think there's a early Christmas present for you under the tree. He dropped everything and went to the tree. By now, my heart was about to fly out of chest, I was excited and nervous for what he reaction would be. So what does he do, but starts shaking the box. I said how about you just set it down and open it, haha! So he opened it up, took out the tissue and I think he's eyes about popped out of his head, along with my heart out of my chest. All he could say, with a grin on his face to match mine and tears in his eyes was "REALLY?!?!" Yes!!!
It sure has been fun telling our families our news! We told my family on my Dad's birthday. We gave him a shirt for his birthday that said "World's Best Grandpa." Everyone was so excited! We told Jarrod's parents with Husker shirts that read "Grandma Roeber" and "Grandpa Roeber" on the back. Cathy about hit the ceiling when she realize what the back of the shirt said! Everyone's reactions have been priceless and we all couldn't be more excited!!
Since we've been pregnant, we've been to three appointments. First was the ultrasound, where we got to see our little bean and it's heart beating, it was the most amazing thing to see. And just this last Monday we went in to hear the heartbeat. It was a healthy heart beat of 160 beats per minute. It was music to our ears! So that puts me at about 11 weeks, and baby Roeber will arrive sometime around August 20th!!
This pregnancy has been an absolute breeze so far. The worst that has happened to me is loss of appetite, which has came back in the last two weeks. I haven't gotten sick once, and haven't felt too exhausted yet. I just hope this smooth sailing continues! I feel so blessed and am so happy with this gift that God has blessed us with!! Stay tuned for updates! Jenna xoxo

Starting Fresh
As I have broken my old blog, I've decided to start fresh with a new. It's not exactly how I want it to look right now. It takes alot of time to edit a blog to look how you want it to. To read my past posts on my old blog, here is the link. http://jennaroeber.blogspot.com/ xoxo Jenna
