On February 10th of this year I got the best Birthday Surprise of all. After years of trying to conceive we found out that we were pregnant. As many of you know, it has been a very long journey for us. When we finally got through the first round of infertility drugs in January we were pleasantly surprised to find out that we were blessed with a baby so soon. Now we just had to wait for the next couple weeks to ensure that it was a viable pregnancy. We were very thankful that God answered our prayers.
The next big milestone was finding out the gender of our baby. Most of you know that we already have a wonderful son Sean, and I (along with many of our close family and friends) were praying for a baby girl. I have always wanted to have a daughter and on May 20th we found out that the baby was "most likely" a girl. So we went for another ultrasound the next day and were told that yes it is a girl. All of our ultrasounds after this point have confirmed its a girl, although Sean and Russell were hoping to keep our family to all boys. Sean still has hope that his sister will turn into a brother. I told him that is probably not going to happen.
Throughout my pregnancy up until this point I have been meaning to take pictures, but balancing family life has put that on the backburner. So now I am going to start "trying" to post every week. I will be starting with week 24.
Better late than never =D
