Yes, we're having a baby!

It is true--we're having a baby!! We wanted to see how long we could keep the secret, but there's too much excitement to keep it in any longer. Oh, and a growing baby bump. I'm pretty sure there were a couple people at church on Sunday that glanced down at my stomach wondering if I had overindulged in east Texas BBQ over the summer while we were away for Cliff's job, or if I in fact was pregnant. Oh, and then there's the doctor questions I threw out at Chelsea, Kristi, and Natalie a couple months ago, so I'm sure you three had some idea.

We are just about 4 months along, which makes our baby due January 25! So far, so good!

I am grateful for inheriting my mother's pregnancy symptoms...which is just about NONE. No sickness, high energy levels, feeling just fine and dandy. For the most part, this pregnancy is identical to Stone's, which makes me think it may be another boy. We are anxious to find out the gender!

I can't believe I'm almost half way done with the pregnancy. We are thrilled to add to the family, and Stone is beginning to understand. He thinks the baby is a girl when we ask him, and he thinks her name is Laila (last semester, we watched Jon and Kaylene's beautiful little Laila, and Stone just adores her).

We will keep you posted!

Oh I am so glad for the new details. So you will be finding out pretty soon? Way to hold out on telling the news. 2 boys would be sooo much fun. But girls are awesome, so either way you win right?Can't wait to hear more updates. Congrats again.

I was suspecting something when you asked, but didn't want to say anything until you did. So exciting! I'm glad you have easy pregnancies - I do too, for the most part. By the way, if it is a girl, Laila IS a cute name! It was a name I threw out at Dave once we knew we were having a girl, but Dave shot it down. I can't believe you are half way done the the pregnancy already!!

Kristi said...

Congrats! Yes, I completely guessed that one with the Dr. questions, but kept it to myself!!
