Our BIG Christmas Surprise



Only TWO weeks after we got Moriah home, we found out that we were expecting.
I was definitely not prepared for this, and I had a lot of different emotions that accompanied finding out I was pregnant.
I am now just about done with the first trimester, and after months of adjusting the news, I can say that I've processed a lot of emotions over the past few weeks, and I am finally "ready" for our new addition.
I still have my worries, but I cannot let them overcome me.
Baby is due July 10, 2011.

We just ask for prayer for a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby.

Thank you all so much, and we wish you all a Merry Christmas!

Lots of love,
Victoria

Congratulations!! Considering the example you set of parenting, this is one fortunate little baby! Love the recent posts (M: if Santa always looked like a member of ZZTop, most kids would be scared of him too--he must not have had time for his beard to curl).

We're praying for you and our Christmas celebration has a special flair to it knowing that your celebration is at home.

All is calm, all is bright...
