All because two people fell in love: 1 + 1 = 3

In July even though I was a happy newlywed I was over living in Ft. Wayne and wanted to move to Indy. Ryan loved his job so he told me if I could find a job we could move (thinking I wouldn’t find a job and we would stay in Ft. Wayne) He told me that on a Sunday on the way back from the lake. On Tuesday I was called for an interview at a gym in Indianapolis. I interviewed on Wednesday and Thursday and moved to Indy on Monday to start my new job! I got an apartment and a couple of weeks later Ryan, Isabelle, Cooper, and Oliver moved to Fishers! I love living in Fishers and don’t want to move out of this area for a long, long time! The fall of 2008 Ryan and I started talking about starting our family, thinking it would take a while. Ok, maybe I was doing all the talking and he was doing all the eye rolling. But what can I say, when I want something I get it!

November 25, 2008 we found out we were going to be parents! Scary! In December we decided to move into a house so we had more room for our little bundle of joy! I had the worst morning sickness, more like 24 hour sickness you could ever imagine. It was like a 3 month hangover from December until almost March. I couldn’t eat anything, I was throwing up 20 times a day and losing weight. Finally with some good meds and my first trimester coming to an end I got over the morning sickness and started enjoying being pregnant.

March 11, 2009- 19 weeks, IT’S A GIRL!!!!!!!!! Of course we didn’t have a girls name picked out that we could agree on, no Ryan we are not naming our daughter the same name as an ex girlfriend! I made a list of names to choose from, we didn’t agree on any. His first pick was my fourth pick. My favorite was his least favorite. We narrowed it down to 2, Reese and Raegan. I wanted Reese, he wanted Raegan. We asked our families, and let our animals vote (based on which treat they ran to first) and we decided on Raegan. I was unsure of the name for a long time. I loved the fact that Raegan (spelled differently) means “Little King” where Ryan means “King” and she is definitely daddy’s little girl!! I couldn’t imagine a more perfect name for her!!
