Christmas Day News ::

This was perhaps the most wonderful Christmas we have ever shared together. For a few short days, everyone was well, and we really enjoyed being together, all-together as a family. Saying that, we got a bit of news on Christmas Day. News that everyone close to us has been waiting months to hear.

Some of our family and friends already know, but for those who don’t we are expecting our next baby in May. We found out we were pregnant with Rosemary on Christmas Day three years ago, so this is a special “baby knowing” day for me. This will mark our 5th child. We’ve only found out the gender with one other child, Elise – our 3rd child. A few weeks ago, Daniel and I went in for an 18 week Level 2 ultrasound. Upon getting the word that our child was healthy and apparently happy in the womb, they gladly made a special note for us all, yes even me, of the gender for us to open on Christmas Day. So early on Christmas morning, 6:30am to be exact, I opened this letter that Santa so promptly placed in my stocking the night before. With my heart racing as I opened the sealed envelope, it revealed our fate that there would be a new baby boy coming in May. A boy! We’ve had 3 girls in a row so to have a 2nd boy as the youngest thrilled us all to no end. A boy! We are so, so , very excited!! What a wonderful day it was indeed!!!
