BIG NEWS!!!

We've kept our secret long enough (about 6 1/2 weeks) and now it is time to start telling the truth...


WE ARE PREGNANT!


Sorry if we've told a few white lies to avoid giving away secret, but we wanted to wait until we were at least 10 weeks before we told everyone.


So to answer some basic questions most people ask a pregnant woman:



1.)I am 10 weeks 4 days along.


2.)The baby's due date is October 31st! How crazy would that be to have the baby on his/her due date!


3.)We love our three little girls and that's all we know-little girls that is. It would, however, be great to have to get to know the ups and downs of little boys too. We are just happy to be pregnant!


4.)Kris was with me when I took the pregnancy test, and Ellary was the first person we told. We knew she could keep a secret! Good job, Ellary! Way to not blow it!


5.)I've had some nausea (occurs throughout the day), but I am fairing well enough not to have puked. Cravings are crazy, I'm a little tireder than usual, but I'm feeling quite well for still being in my first trimester!


6.)We are known for having names already picked out, but we have used up our three favorite girls names and are reconsidering the boys names we had originally picked out.


7.)Alyson and Kourtney hope we have a boy. Ellary, well, she's a little too young to really know what we have got her into. She'll be about 18 months old when the new baby is born.


8.)We like to tell our parents we are pregnant in exciting ways. Kris came up with how to tell our mom's...It's really good. We called the bowling ally where they have their bowling league today and asked them to announce it over the loud speaker. They should know very shortly! Hopefully everyone there will be celebrating the news with them!


9.)DAD-CONGRATULATIONS! You are expecting your 19th grandchild (counting great-grandchildren too).


10.) One other tid-bit of information. Last fall Kris was complaining that he didn't have a birthday buddy. Alyson and Ellary's birthdays are 8 days apart, and Kourtney and I have our birthdays 2 days apart. So, with the birth of this baby, Kris should have the birthday buddy he was asking for!

So that's our big news!

* Wonderful News Honeys *

_ Thanks for surprising this Nana with the surprising news of a new precious little spirit joining our family in October.
_ The bowling ally's loud speaker announced for Ello and I to come up to the front desk, that Jessica had a message for us.
_ Just a bit scary!!!
_ But before we could get to the man, he broadcasted to everyone that Jessica was pregnant and we were to be grandmothers once again.
_ There was much clapping and cheering and people were asking questions and saying what a great way to let us know the good news about this new little one. Many said to tell your little family Congratulations too.
_ Thanks too, for calling Dad and having him look on your great blog to find out "the good news" while you were on the phone with him.
_ It's really sweet the way you surprise us in letting us know of each child's journey into this world. It's different every time.
_ We sure love all of you,
... Mom & Dad ...
... Nana & Papa Bear ...

CONGRATS!!! Glad you're feeling well...I guess "well enough" for your first trimester anyway! I guess we'll beat you to four but not by much! Hope your pregnancy is smooth sailing from here!
