A little announcement

Some of you probably have been wondering if this announcement was coming...

and some of you already knew, and were wondering when the news would hit the blog.

You see, when I told you about our Christmas celebrations, I left out one little detail...

There were three stockings hanging from our mantelpiece on Christmas morning.


The one in the middle is for a tiny person we won't get to meet until late April ... and who couldn't care less about having his or her Christmas stocking. But Daddy insisted, and an extra stocking for Baby means more candy for Mama, right?

I'm 25 weeks as of yesterday, and we couldn't be more excited.


The exact due date is April 18, although I won't be surprised if this little one decides to make an appearance later than that—on average, first babies tend to be born a week "past due."

Now you know why it's been a little quiet around here lately, but brace yourselves for a slew of posts—I have so many thoughts on pregnancy that I've been dying to share with you.

And please keep us in your prayers, won't you?

Love, from the three of us

  2. YAY! So happy for you! I forego the blog while I'm keeping pregnancy secret too. I just can't do it! Hah! You are absolutely darling! I hope you are feeling well and enjoying this "sweet spot" in pregnancy (post first tri yuckiness and pre I'm-too-large-to-move feeling). It's all wonderful but I swear 20-30 weeks or so is the best!
