I have been waiting and waiting for this and I can't think of a good title

Ok, here it FINALLY is. After a year of ups and downs...we are thrilled to finally announce...

We are expecting a baby. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Yes, King Mason will have to share his throne but we are pretty sure he's more than ready.

We have officially hit 12 weeks and can no longer contain our secret (or my stomach for that matter).

Praise God for his goodness!

We are expecting our little peanut in August. Although I can't feel it quite yet, each ultrasound has shown a very active little baby on our hands- of course, we wouldn't expect or know how to handle anything less!

We are so thankful that we have been blessed with this little miracle and we would ask you to keep praying for us as we finish up the 1st trimester. Our team of doctors has been knowledgeable, fantastic, and I'm pretty sure I'm ready to move into their office with them.

Thanks for sharing in our excitment!

Ok, now it's time for me to go take a nap. I'll post a picture later.
