Christmas Surprise!

After the gifts were all opened and the paper was cleaned up, Nate and I sat back and enjoyed watching our boys retreat to their own world playing with all their new Christmas treasures. With another Christmas behind us, we started to look at the calender and anticipate what God may have in store for us in the upcoming year. As we were looking at the calender, we realized that in the holiday busyness my 28 days had become 39 days without me even noticing. Although we were both very certain that it was due to stress of the season, we thought we would sleep better after a trip to Walgreens to confirm our certainty. Well upon opening the box, we barely even looked at it and we had 2 red lines brighter than Santa's suit! For those of you who are not following, we discovered that next Christmas we would have a new little bundle in our Christmas card photo. Upon absorbing the shock for a few weeks, (which we still have our moments) we are quickly embracing this new reality and "Christmas gift" planned only by God.
We are now 12 weeks along, just finishing our first trimester. We will add our addition mid August. Aside of fatigue, I have felt really well, which is a huge blessing. We had one ultrasound at 7 weeks and one at 10 to monitor a few things and everything looks great at this point. We will attempt to post those.
