John and I are SO excited and thrilled to announce that our family will be growing come September 2nd, 2014! We are blessed beyond measure and couldn't be more happy. We announced to all of our friends and the public on Valentine's day with the following announcement:
We have a little Valentine, although it's still brand new.
You'll meet our BABY valentine, in September when we're due!
We found out we were pregnant on December 20th, 2013 (right before Christmas) and it has been the hardest secret I've ever had to keep! I called my family soon after we found out (since we would not see them for Christmas) and shared the news over the phone. We told the Peters Family on Christmas eve since they were in town and staying with us - but beyond that it was top secret until Valentine's day! I am currently in the third month of pregnancy, measuring at 12 weeks along. We plan to find out whether our little peanut is a boy or girl in early April and can't wait to share the news!
Christmas Eve, the night we told The Peters Family
The nursery (which I've planned to be gender neutral for a long time - cremes, golds, and whites) is already underway and over halfway done. (I know, no one is surprised here). Pictures to come once our glider comes in (we ordered a few weeks ago) and our crib is set up! It is so fun putting the nursery I've dreamed up for years into reality.
I have waiting my entire life for this day and I've never seen my husband light up more than the day we found out and I told him we were expecting. We have so looked forward to this time in our lives!
The day we found out, December 20, 2013.
Our first sonogram on January 22nd, 2013; 8 weeks 1 day
God is good. God is faithful. We are blessed beyond measure.
Thanks for walking with us,
JL
