Exciting news...


We has some news... Bailey is going to be a big sister! No, we're not getting another dog (yet)... we're having a baby!

I'm a little over 12 weeks pregnant, and Baby Reed is due Jan. 18, 2009. We've had one ultrasound and heard the heart beat a few times (thankfully, I have a great doctor who will let me come in anytime to hear the little heart beat.) I've been feeling okay. The oddest pregnancy symptom I've had is crazy dreams... nightly. Has anyone else experienced crazy dreams during pregnancy?

We find out the sex of the baby in about 6 weeks. Most people are guessing girl, but I'm kind-of thinking boy, at least for today :) We'll be thrilled either way. Please join us in praying for a healthy baby.

LOVE Bailey's shirt! I just can't tell you how excited I am for you and Mike! I think it will be a boy, but that's pretty much a very wild guess!:-)

Congrats. That's such great news. I can't wait to hear more updates. I had crazy dreams too. The oddest one was Natalie Yoe's boyfriend tried to burn down my house with us in it. I had that one several times for some reason.

Congratulations!!! We are so excited for y'all! I love the t-shirt on Bailey...too cute. I don't think I had strange dreams while pregnant but I remembered them more if that makes any sense. Keep us posted on things! We'll be praying for a healthy baby Reed!

Laura Mielke said...

oh how wonderful! SO EXCITING! YES I totally had weird dreams the whole time. and apparently that is a normal thing because dreams are actually mentioned in "What to Expect When Expecting." Definitely will be praying for you guys.

We'll be praying for the whole family now, instead of just you and Mike. :-)

Hello Mommy To Be!!! I am absolutely estatic for you and Michael. Baby Reed will be extremely lucky to have such awesome parents! Can't wait for Baby Bump pics! I'm guessing it will be a baby girl, by the way!

Love you guys!

I just want it put out there that both Brandi and I think that it is a little baby boy. Of course it will be perfect and loved dearly either way, but I really am feeling boy :)

The crazy dreams are definitely normal (either that, or you and I are both crazy. hmmm, interesting thought!)! I've had many and have them often. We are so excited for y'all and will send more prayers than you can imagine for a healthy baby Reed and the blessings that will follow. I'm not sure yet on boy or girl - I'll make my guess soon! :)

John and Brooke said...

Mine was a tankini (in response to your comment on my blog)...I hope yours is more comfortable than mine...I think mine was probably partly uncomfortable because I just didn't feel like being in a swimsuit!

Kristin Coppock said...

April,
Thanks for commenting on my blog. I am very new, but I am more excited about your news!~ That is so wonderful! I need to add some pics of my Lucy (our chocolate lab) She is definitely the queen around here. Can't wait to find out if it is boy or girl! Let me know if you all are at the lake another weekend soon!
