Well I've got some very exciting news to share with you today! See that adorable couple in the photo above? That's my little sister, Gracie, and her husband, Chris. And see that sweet little blob in the sonogram photo? That's my newest little niece or nephew!
I've shown you lots of pictures over the last few years, of my sister Diann, and her husband, Phillip, and their 4 babies, the newest of which, arrived at the end of last month!
Meanwhile, Gracie and Chris have been trying to have a baby for several years now and have run into some problems. After several unsuccessful rounds of IUI, they were taking a bit of a break from all of the procedures and such and low and behold, a baby happened with no medical assistance whatsoever!! What a blessing!!! To say that we're all ecstatic would be an understatement! I can't wait to meet this new little bundle and I'm sooo thankful that they live so close to us, so we can see Baby L. all the time! We don't get that luxury with my sister, Diann's, sweet babies, since they live several hours away.
Aren't they adorable? I've been commissioned to take pregnancy photos to document the months ahead (and the belly growth...ha!), and then when baby comes, I'm sure we'll be having lots of little baby photo shoots too! Guess I'd better brush up on my photog skills! Ha.
At the time we took these photos, she was 12 weeks along and apparently the baby was the size of a plum. As the weeks progress, the baby -- and consequently, the fruit in the photos -- will get larger. Let's hope she doesn't have to hold a watermelon for the shots at the end! Hahaha.
Isn't she gorgeous? I love this girl.
Cute, cute, cute.
I should also interject at this point, that Chris is running for Missouri State Representative. And Baby L's due date? Inauguration Day! How's that for tricky timing?! This is gonna be interesting.....haha!
Congratulations, baby sister (and hubsy).....you know we couldn't be happier for you both!
xoxo,
