I can't wait for Christmas!

Kevin and I have been trying to have a baby for some time. We've been praying and working with specialists and do you know what? We are having a baby! FINALLY!! Baby Grady will make his grand entrance this Christmas and we can't wait! Considering we were told we may not be able to have any children, we feel extremely blessed and consider our little peanut to be quite a miracle. In fact, when the nurse told me that I was pregnant, she said that our baby was either going to be a president or a pope because it is so amazing!

I am 16 weeks along and am feeling good again (no more all day nausea!). My doctors are still keeping a close eye on me due to some complications, but things are looking really good. And do you know what the best part of a high risk pregnancy is? All the extra ultrasounds! I am due for another one (my 6th) in about 2 weeks, but let's just say that the 14 week one made it pretty obvious I would be decorating in blue!

Baby Grady - coming to our nursery Dec 26th!



PS - For those of you who have known of our struggles and have been praying for us, THANK YOU!! Yours and mine were answered! We love you!

Congrats! Congrats! You're a stinker for keeping it a secret (from the blogging world anyway) for so long. Now that I know you'll be in my prayers too. Boys are so much fun. So Irish names, huh? I like Sean and Conor. Is Collin irish? I like that one.
