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!
