We are anxious to post this blog today
Cause exciting changes are coming our way.
When we found out we cried, “Oh my!”
Cause we’ll be PARENTS in July!!

Yes, the rumors are true! We are expecting a little Jenson to bless our lives in July. We found out late Thursday night, but we had to wait until Sunday night to tell our families. It was killing us to wait! We read a poem very similar to the one above to our families to surprise them with the news. It was actually Dan Jenson's birthday, but he told us that was the best the present to find out that he is going to be an Uncle.

This baby to come is the first on the Jenson side and like number 27 for the Habels. We are still in unbelief because Christina hasn't had any symptoms yet, which she is extremely grateful for, but we are just so excited. Mike's sister Angela said she totally knew that we were even before we told everyone. She almost asked us on Friday, but luckily she didn't because we don't know what we would have done. :-)

July seems like the perfect time because of Mike being out of school, and Christina's mom will actually be in Montana that whole month so she'll be a lot closer to come down and help.

We are overwhelmed with joy and thanksgiving for the many blessings that our Heavenly Father has given us. We're not sure if we can be great parents, but we both have the best examples to go by.

Congratulations!! That is such exciting news. Mike-I bet your mom is crazy excited. You should have seen the picture we took of her with Katelyn in the hospital. Her look said it all--"I WANT GRANDCHILDREN!!!" So that's awesome. Welcome to the parenting world. Coming from someone going through the newborn stage right now--take full advantage of 8 hours of sleep at night, of traveling without a cubic ton of baby gear, and of going out together without needing to find a babysitter. I'm so excited for you both!!--Another relative Katelyn's age. (Would that be 2nd cousins? Or first cousins once removed? I can never figure that out.)

Amy, it's second cousins once removed. I just had to figure that out down at my grandparents. Anyway, congrats Mike and Christina. I'm glad you're not feeling any symptoms yet, but it's pretty early on. Just wait!!! You'll discover all kinds of things about your body (and other people's when they share their stories) that you never knew before. Mike, tell your parents congrats from Ryan and Andrea. I bet your mom is ecstatic. Anyway, can't wait to hear all the updates!
