7 months and counting...

Hey everyone! Aaron and I'd like to announce that God has blessed us with a new addition to the family. In early July, we'll be parents! We are very excited and (I, at least) feel extremely ill prepared. Thank goodness we have some time! We went in for our second visit today and heard the heartbeat, which was so neat. God is so amazing, and we are so thankful for our little "fig." I think we're a small lime next!

Aaron surprised me with a new car on Saturday, so now I won't be bumping my head as I get in and out like I did with my Civic. It's an '08 Toyota Highlander and we love it so far. We need to buy some of those hard plastic floor mats so I can wipe up baby expellant (this isn't a word, but it should be. You get it, right?) off of the car floor. I'm pretty messy too, so I'll probably need them more for myself.


Our plans for the next month include traveling to visit family in WA State (yay!) and then we'll be off to France to visit Sarah for a week. We figured it'd be good to the traveling out of the way before the pregnancy "blossoms." I like that term; it's much better than "get bigger" or "balloon." We'll stick with blossom. Anyway, we are really looking forward to this last excursion. What's better than family time and snow? Not much.

Aaron and I figured that as our family has begun to grow, it might be good to start a family blog. I'm not sure how good we'll be, but we'll give it a good effort. We probably won't post until early January *maybe* or late January when we return from our travels.

Either way, thanks for reading and we'll see you soon!
