BABY!!

We are having a BABY!!

Jeremy and I are expecting our first baby and are so very excited!! As many of you know Jeremy and I were on a 5 year plan. And many of you laughed your little hearts out but we had a plan and wanted to be well prepared for the task of being parents. I guess we liked to say we wanted to be financially ready for a baby, but like we have heard from lots of parents is that you will never be finacially ready for a baby. I'd like to think we are well than prepared now being married for 5 years and not to mention we are both teachers and see and have learned from many parents and students. :) O' and we can't forget we basically have four children already, Gracie, George, Piper and Emma. They are much like kids: Vet bills, food, throw up, accidents, grounded :), spoiled and would break our hearts if something ever happened to them.

Since we've been planning for 5 years we have tons of baby stuff just not the gender related stuff. Furniture is all in storage along with some misc. baby stuff. So that will be a HUGE relief later.

Some have asked what we are hoping to have and Jeremy's response is "a baby, we know it's either going to be a boy or a girl". Ha! Well he's hoping we only have girls considering he grew up with 2 brothers. I on the other hand am 1 of 6 kids, ultimately we are hoping for one boy and one girl. But we are fine with either.

Christmas cards went out as our announcement of the new addition and most people just skipped over the names on the card for whatever reason (they know all of the dogs and us, just looked at the picture, or they thought that "George" the St. Bernard name was "BABY", some even thought one of our dogs was pregnant... too funny!) Those that have been nagging and know that we reached our 5 year plan caught on quick others needed a little hint to go back and read the card as they comment on my Fabulous Sofa!! :) and there were quite a few of those.

We are due July 8th!!
