Some of you that know us well know that we are planners. I decided in 2nd grade I wanted to be a doctor. So when we decided it was time to start working on the grandkids that had been ordered we chose the perfect timing so that we would be due with the perfect timing to deliver. And then we watched that "perfect" timing fly out the door. Little did we know that the real perfect timing was to come...and it has!
Fast forward 2 weeks (of wondering and waiting to find out if this would take or not) and I squeezed in for a secret ultrasound.
(The first of MANY ultrasounds to come!)
And that tiny little bubble inside the black is our new little Goodwin! It even had a tiny little heartbeat. I smiled from ear to ear as I heard that sound. That sound we had planned for, and then got when we were least expecting it.
When we had a scare (way before we were trying) and I wasn't drinking one morning at boozy breakfast (that's right I said morning, we go for breakfast and mimosas on our last night of night float each week) a friend asked if we were pregnant and I said "Maybe." She replied "you have a Maybe Baby?!" Each time when I told John I was late he would ask if I was pregnant and I would reply, "well, Maybe." And the name Maybe has stuck ever since. While we have no intentions of calling the baby Maybe, for now that's the little one's nickname.

And so this marks the return of our blog...except I'm not posting it yet! We haven't told anyone other than our OB and the sonographer who agreed to scan me in secret (gossip travels fast around that crazy place I work!). We have been so eager to tell, but yet still so nervous as we are still so early. So I'm hoping to blog without posting and will then post all of these once we are ready to share the news. Hopefully this will help us keep our secret until it's time!
