While in Utah we were able to go to an ultrasound with Kimberly. At this time she did not know the sex of the baby and Kimberly was kind enough to invite us to find out with her. The first ultrasound was unsuccessful because the baby would not unfold her legs and was keeping it a secret. We went back the following day and Kimberly had eaten a lot of sugar to help the baby be more active. This time the baby was more active and the ultrasound was successful. We are happy to announce that we will be the parents of a baby girl this January.
Rich and I are happier than we can express. It is hard to believe it is real at times and other times it is a little scary to think about. We are starting to prepare our home and think about the things we will need. We have a few big items that family and friends gave us, but soon will slowly start to collect other baby items. Lisa is having a hard time not buying cute clothes and baby shoes...I love baby shoes!! I am also really excited that the baby girl clothes are so much cuter than before. I love that there is so much more that just pink. I especially love all the pink and brown combinations.
We know that having a baby is so much more that cute clothes and shoes. We have been waiting for a long time to have a bundle of joy to love, teach, and nurture. We can't wait to share our life and love with a child. We have already been thinking about the next few years and the things we want to do with our baby. We know January is still a ways off, but so far the time as been flying by. Again, we are happier than words can express and we are eternally grateful to Kimberly for giving us the opportunity and gift.

We are so pleased for you guys. We have told you many times before that we know you guys will be fabulous parents~so much so that we would entrust our own two children to you two. We can't wait to welcome a beautiful new niece into our family. You've waited so long-what a blessing this special birth Mother is. Congrats. :)
Congratulations! I have tears of joy for you. What stopped me from buying a bunch of stuff for the baby was that we were broke. Buy that big screen TV you want, and then you'll be broke, and people will buy the baby stuff! Well, actually people will give you stuff weather you are broke or not.
Congratulations! We're very excited for you guys and glad that we'll have a cousin close in age.
Lisa,
Congrats!!! I am so VERY happy for you. I know you will be a wonderful mom. You guys have waited such a long time, but I know once you hold her it will be so worth it. I can't wait until she comes! Keep us posted!
Lisa.....I just got an e-mail from Kristen and she said to look at your blog for some great news. I'm so happy for you and Rich!!!
Congratulations!!!!!
Mike and Vickie
Congrats! This is so exciting, I am speechless with how happy I am for you. We can't wait to hear and see more about her!
I'm not much a crier but I teared up when I saw this post. You've been in our prayers the last 3+ years and we're thrilled for you!!!
Tanti, tanti, tanti auguri!
Rachel & Sam (& Lessi and Matty)
