We have something exciting to share!
Can you guess what it might be?
I bet you probably can. 🙂
We are simply thrilled…
…that…
in February(ish)…
…a new member will be joining
our family!!!
Yes… we are expecting again!
We are grateful to God for this new blessing.
A few FAQ’s…
How far along are you?
About twelve weeks! The picture above was taken at eleven weeks.
How have you been feeling?
Pretty sick, actually, though not nearly as sick as I was with Vera. With that pregnancy, I had trouble keeping water down and had to go on Zofran. This time, I have been nauseous but have kept everything down. I feel pretty good in the mornings, but I get sicker as the day goes on. I’ve been trying to snack a lot because I know hunger can make me feel sicker, and I also do not skip meals no matter how badly I am feeling. I have also discovered that almonds are a great snack that help reduce nausea!
Have you been to the doctor?
Yes, I have been to see my midwife once. The appointment wasn’t terribly exciting, since they didn’t do an ultrasound and it was too early to hear the heartbeat with the Doppler. We’re hoping to hear our little one’s heartbeat in a week at our next appointment!
Why did you wait so long to tell people?
We have had a lot of difficult things going on at our church lately and thought it was wise to wait to make our announcement. It was hard to keep the secret so long, especially since I think I’m already looking a little “poochy,” haha, but I think we did the right thing.
Are you going to find out if it is a boy or a girl?
Probably yes. I think that appointment will be in late September.
Do you have any names picked out?
No, not yet. For now, we’re calling this one “Baby Mango.” 🙂
Thank you for praying for us and our baby-on-the-way!
P.S. Here I was at eleven weeks with Vera.
We LOVE you, Baby Mango…and look SO forward to you joining our family circle!! What will you look like? What color will your eyes be? Will you have lots of hair like your daddy did when he was born (and like Vera)? Or will you be a bald baby like your mommy was? 😉
You are Vera are going to be such great buddies. She will never remember life without you since you and she are so close in age.
We are praying for you EVERY day as I am sure your other grandparents (and great-grandparents) are also. You are LOVED by so many people already—and we haven’t even met you yet!
Love and Hugs and Kisses,
Your MiMi (and Pops) <3 <3
(Lots of love to your daddy and mommy too!)
Rejoicing with you in the news of this new little one! Can’t wait to see who he or she will be! Love you guys!
Congratulations!! That is so exciting!!!!
By the way, I’m glad you decided to share the news now, because I just told Drew this week, and he was having a REALLY hard time keeping it a secret! I think he announced it to his whole Sunday school class on Sunday.
Congrats! Little ones are such a blessing… even if they do make us sick. 🙂
So exciting!!

Glad you arent as sick and we look so forward to seeing your new blessing.
