Landon and I have truly been overwhelmed with all the love and support we have received in the past week! We are so grateful to all of you who have gone out of your way to say congratulations, or give us a hug, or call or text or email...the list goes on. Thank you for being excited with us!!!

Baby has received it's first gifts and we must document them in pictures. The first picture was Baby's absolute first.gift.ever. Sent to us by my aunt, uncle, and cousin, who happen to be the biggest OSU fans ever. That makes them a bit more special. :) Baby might have to wear these home from the hospital...Boomer Sooner! The second gift is from the Hodges family. How cute is that little robe?! I love it. Baby might wear it all the time. :) Landon and I have both gifts out in the living room and we have been oohing and aahing every time we walk by.

Our friends have also been spoiling us... The yummy, huge, delicious, perfect cookie was brought by the Galeys to small group. The Smiths also brought celebratory cookies, but I forgot to take a picture. This cookie was the best thing ever. I actually ate so much of it in a 2 day period that I had my first weight gain of pregnancy. Dr. K will be so happy. The last picture is of our first parenting book from the Cartwrights. Lord knows we need it. :) We love reading together though, so we are really excited for our new subject matter and our new book!

How fun is all of that?! Again, thank you so much for making this special time even more special for us! Baby Hubbart is already SO LOVED...and there is nothing that makes us happier!

Up next on the Hubbart blog is a break from the Baby Blog...Christmas decorations...YAY!

Big news from the Hubbarts...we are expecting Baby Hubbart on June 4th! You can check out our past 13 weeks by starting at the Hidden Baby Blog dated September 21, 2009. We are so excited that the Baby Blogs are no longer Hidden!!! Yay!

We finally shared our secret yesterday, on Thanksgiving! This is the picture Landon took before the end of the table heard the news...


And the picture after the entire table heard the news...

Ha! Can you see the surprised/excited looks on my mommy and sisters faces?!

We shared the news with Landon's family after we shared with my family, and we then began making some friend phone calls. It is such an exciting time for us and we are so grateful for all the support we have already been shown!

Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving! Landon and I are so very thankful for so many reasons. Here are just a few...

1. The loving God we serve.
2. Our wonderful relationship with each other.
3. A supportive and fun family.
4. Good friends.
5. Our beautiful home.
6. Stable jobs.
7. A church that we both love.
8. The community group we meet with weekly.
9. Good health.
10. A few days off work to enjoy family and food. :)

We hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Today is the last day that Baby Hubbart is a secret! We are so excited to tell everyone tomorrow, but also so grateful for our almost 10 weeks of secret. :) It was a time of excitement and prayer for our little family.

Yesterday we had an appointment with Dr. K. Everything looked good and the heartbeat was so strong. Landon keeps imitating it...though I kind of think he sounds more like a beatbox than a heartbeat. :) I didn't even think about this, but Landon had never heard a baby heartbeat before!! We are so, so grateful for this gift, and we can't wait to share our big news with the families tomorrow!!!

We can't believe we are in week 11!!! AHH! Time was going so slow for awhile, but now it seems to be flying by. I'm slowly beginning to feel better...more energy, less sleep, and less nausea! Yay! Only 10 more days and we get to tell family and friends!!!

Here is the newest belly picture...taken at 11w 2d...

Halloween

Maybe we're a little late, but here is our Halloween post. We woke up early on Saturday and made pancakes...in the shape of jack-o-lanterns. Landon thinks I am ridiculous for making festive pancakes for every holiday, but he is coming to expect them. :)

After breakfast, we carved our jack-o-lantern. Landon picked out an excellent carving pumpkin!




We put our carved pumpkin out on Halloween night for the trick-or-treaters. Landon wouldn't pose by himself with the pumpkin...imagine that. :)




Although we had a wonderful Halloween, our evening was so sad. We had NO trick-or-treaters!! None. We live in a new neighborhood where there are more houses being built than actually built, but still! I was so, so, so sad. I at least expected a few kids. Landon tried to make the situation comical by sneaking out the backdoor and ringing the doorbell...making me think we had a trick-or-treater. I was so excited to hear the doorbell ring, but so sad that it wasn't a real kiddo. Thanks for trying dearest. :)

Anyway, we hope everyone had a fun Halloween!

I can't believe we are almost 11 weeks pregnant! Time flies...especially now that I'm feeling a little better!

Here is a belly picture at 10w 2d. Landon and I both think I am showing just a little bit, but not enough for anyone to notice. :)

We are planning on making our big announcement on Thanksgiving, so we have to wait 2 more weeks to tell!! AHH! We have held it in this long though, so I'm sure we can make it. We can't imagine being more thankful right now, so Thanksgiving seems like the perfect time to make our announcement. We will be 12w 6d on Thanksgiving.
