When Burke and I were trying to get pregnant I wanted to tell Burke's family in a fun way. It was right before Christmas and I can NEVER wait to give or receive presents, Burke and I have still never opened our presents to each other on Christmas day. I wanted to give them a picture frame as a gift and have Linda open it early so we could see her reaction. Kristen and I ran all over the place looking for a cute picture frame that said grandchild or something about grandparents that I could give Linda. I found some pretty ugly frames but that was the best anyone had. I talked to Amy and she told me to go to Hallmark and to print the picture of the positive pregnancy tests to put in the picture frame. I ran to Hallmark and found the best picture frame! It was silver and said "Great moms get promoted to Grandma." I printed the picture of the positive pregnancy tests and put it in the frame.
Burke and I went to their house for dinner and before we are I told Linda I got her a present I couldn't wait to give her. Everyone told me to wait until Christmas but I told them I couldn't and it is to start a new tradition. Linda and I had been trying to come up with new tradition we could do for Christmas as a family so what better thing to start then having a baby with us!
Linda opened the present and read the quote on the frame and was confused for a minute then she got so excited and we told everyone we were pregnant. Linda, Doug, Kayli, and Grandma Pat was there and Kelsi and Cody came over right after and we got to tell them too. Everyone is really excited! As soon as Linda found out her first response was that we needed to go shopping. This little baby is going to be spoiled!

I'm Pregnant!
December 17, 2009
Today is the best day of my life! I just found out that I am pregnant!!! Burke and I went to the store to get a pregnancy test so I could check in the morning but I couldn't wait and I took one tonight. I took the EPT test and it came back with an X. I didn't know what that was so I got the box and it meant pregnant. I couldn't believe it. I was so excited. Just to make sure we went to Walgreen's to buy a different kind of test. We drove so fast because the we only had 10 minutes until the store closed. I drank 2 huge water bottle and got 2 first response pregnancy tests. I came home and took one but I could only pee a little bit so the test didn't answer fast. I was so anxious so Burke made me go play the piano until I needed to go to the bathroom again for the second test. As I was playing I thought the first test I had just taken would have been ready so I went to check it and I now have 2 positive pregnancy tests! I called mom and told her. She was so excited and I just screamed and laughed. I told dad and he was excited too. Then I called anyone I could think of and screamed and danced around my house for the next 2 hours. Burke is so excited. We looked up the baby calendar and my due date is August 25, 2010. I can't wait for that day. Right now my little baby is basically cells and a partial spinal cord and I love my baby so much already! I can't wait to be a mom this it the best thing EVER!!!! If it is a boy I want the name to be Austin Burke Bowen. If it is a girl I want the name to be Megan Lynn Bowen. My guess is the baby will be a girl because when we were reading on the Internet the information kept saying she. But I will be extremely happy either way! Burke thinks the baby is going to be a boy, of course. I hope it comes early. I am not looking forward to being pregnant in the hot Arizona summer! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!
