:) Oh Happy Day

Well I haven't updated this in a long time, but I finally have a reason to update.... We are expecting our first baby in September! I am so excited, I am 12 weeks and I feel really good. We couldn't be more excited and we feel truly blessed to be able to have our own children. I had a little bit of a struggle getting pregnant and that makes it all the more special and exciting. It truly is a blessing to be able to conceive and carry you own baby. We have a lot of nieces and nephews so we have had a lot of practice but I'm sure it does not even compare to having your own. Well here is to the next six months of waiting and to a life time of loving this little miracle!
