Thanks bunches for all your congrats and good wishes about our newest little blessing on the way. I think several of you were about as shocked as we were. :wink: I have an appointment for the 3rd of April, and then they’ll schedule an ultrasound to determine my due date. I’m guessing the first week in November… but could be wrong!

And thank you, as well, for all your prayers for us for the last, oh, couple months. They mean the world. This last trip was a safe one, I haven’t been nearly as sick this pregnancy as I was thus far with Troy–which was a HUGE blessing while we were gone, and we were able to spend some wonderful quality time with my family. Thanks for “being there.” Friends and family are priceless.

And in other news… we have a new little niece who will be a week old tomorrow. Her name is Lindsey Danielle and she looks about as “our family-ish” as could ever be. I think the newborn pictures of the four cousins we have so far could be easily interchanged and most people would hardly tell the difference. John’s cousin’s wife (got that?) posted some pictures of the wee little lassie. (And while you’re there, you might enjoy taking a look around. Visiting Katie’s blog is so relaxing, so filled with beauty, so precious… I could just sit and peruse it when I’m in need of a little peace and tranquility. So stop by. :smile:)

And our other exciting news around here is that SOME little person is having a birthday tomorrow, and his mama is just not quite sure what to think of her little man turning one. I’ll let you know once it happens. Complete with pictures of the chocolate cake covered face. :grin:
