Lovey

Please pardon this interruption in the normally delayed scheduled postings. This is BREAKING news!

We are expecting baby #2!!

Santa may have to deliver this baby since our due date is Dec. 24th.

I am 7 1/2 weeks, but already have a "pouchy" belly (note to self- can't eat as many calories after I stop nursing).

We are SUPER excited and are so glad that you came by to share in this joy with us! We praise the Lord for another miracle He is perfectly knitting together (Psalms 139:13-14)!

Taken April 13th while Matt was at work.
A happy Daddy that afternoon!
Eric and Lydia found out later that night. It has become a tradition for us to drive to each other's house (mostly late at night) to spill the beans. Lydia was a little leery of who was flashing a bright light at her front door, but that didn't last long :0)
Eric was expecting Lydia when the door opened to his workout room~ surprise!
Meet Lovey at 7 weeks old:
I have felt nauseous (maybe more so than last time), but I haven't been sick. Ritz crackers are my favorite little snack when I don't feel so great. I usually get to take an afternoon nap when Luke does~YAY! I'm hoping to feel like working out again this week. After a 2 week break, I NEED it!
Last time we waited until I was 10 weeks before we told everyone else, but we couldn't pass up the opportunity for a SPECIAL Mother's Day surprise!
Pa & MeMa found out last night at Camino Real. They had been on belly patrol so they had a hunch, but didn't think we would tell them there :0)

Grampa and Grammie found out tonight at Red Lobster.
Eric and Lydia had given mom a corsage that had 4 small flowers for each of her grandchildren. They wanted to do 5, but knew that would give it away. So we waited until tonight to give her another one for Lovey.
Elijah got a special dessert since he turns 3 tomorrow!

Here's some pictures of me and BIG brother Luke on this special Mother's Day!
