We are adding to the Family!



We are all excited that sometime in April we are going to be adding to our little family!  Madelyn is so happy.  She has been asking for a while now when she was going to get to have a baby brother or sister!  When I picked her up from school Friday, I finally got to tell her that she was finally going to get her wish!  She was SCREAMING with excitement!  She kept saying "that is so cool!"  She immediately wanted to see my belly and I had to explain to her that there was nothing to see yet and that it was going to take several months for this baby to actually get here.   When we got home, she wrote daddy a note and we wrapped the test in her note and put it in an envelope.  She put on her "I'm the Big Sister" shirt and when Daddy came in, she handed him the envelope.  While he was trying to open the envelope, she pointed out her shirt to him and then he looked at me and saw my me holding the camera and he quickly realized what was going on!!!   We are so happy and can't wait to find out what we are having so we can begin planning!  Madelyn says she wants a sister, but she said she would settle for a boy too!  Torey and I don't care either way, we just want a healthy  baby!

Well, you already know I am extremely excited for you & I will be right there with you counting down the days to find out if it is a boy or girl, I haven't decided what I think it is going to be yet. Katelyn is going to have so many friends to grow up & go to school with.

Thanks for checking on Katelyn this morning, you would never know she had it done now.

Congratulations!!!! I just started this blogging thing, so I checked yours and saw your great news! I was wondering when y'all would be adding another family member. Chris and I are in the "thinking phase" about baby #2, so you can give me all the scoop when it is my turn... ha ha. I'm sure Madelyn will be such a great big sis!
