Thankful

I think most of my blog followers have already heard our big news, but I wanted to make it official. We are very happy to announce that our family of 3 will become 4 in late November this year. Scott & I will become the parents of 2 children and Nate will become a big brother. We are so excited and a little overwhelmed, but mostly thankful, very thankful for this blessing.

Nate has taken the news very well and is proud to assume his new role. He frequently tells me how happy he is that we are having a baby and pats or kisses my stomach whenever he has a chance. Of course, we will have a period of adjustment when the new person arrives, but I think we will be able to bridge some of gap just by the fact that Nate can be so helpful. I am thankful that he has taken all of this in stride and acts as if this is a natural step for all of us to take.

This photo was taken weeks ago, but it is the only one I have of our little one. And thankfully I'm a "regular" patient, so that means no more ultrasounds until approximately 20 weeks for the BIG one. Yes, we will find out with "it" is...and yes, we will share the news with you. No, we will not share the little one's name until "it" makes his/her debut (sorry Amanda!)

I went to the doctor this week and heard little one's heartbeat. Very sweet and re-assuring. Doctor said everything looks and sounds normal. For that I am extremely thankful.
