Wow, it's certainly been awhile now with no update here, sorry to keep you waiting. :) We're doing well, I had a real kick in the pants from a not-so-dear friend named "morning sickness", and finally seem to be over that. Thankfully. I didn't even know it was possible to be that sick with pregnancy. Let's just say I was very blessed with the boys and did not have that side effect while pregnant with them. Speculation says that perhaps it's a girl? We'll have to wait and see, actually we only have to wait until next week. :) We have decided to find out if we need blue or pink sleepers to bring to the hospital this time. With the boys we never found out, and that was great, but truthfully it's purely practical reasons why we're wanting to find out this time. I'd like to get things ready before baby comes and if it is a girl, gift all my boy stuff to my sister who just recently had a boy, after having three girls. Having had two boys, we would love to add another sweet little guy to the family, on the other hand a girl would be unique, now wouldn't it? Not sure yet if we'll be making a public announcement, but if we do, you can be sure it will be here. This fall has been difficult for me since I've been sick, and photography has taken a back seat due to this. I will only be taking limited bookings until baby arrives in May, and will also be taking a maternity leave of approximately 4-6 months (maybe longer) after that. I've already had to say no to a few weddings for next year, although it pains me to do so, but I know that this time with a new little one is precious and an overextended mother won't be any help to my family. Thanks everyone for your phone-calls, emails and well wishes, we are super excited about this big step to "family of five". Your prayers and support mean so much to us.
And of course since no post is complete without a few pictures, here a few of the newest member of my family, my niece Meagan Elisabeth, who was born on Nov. 18, and baptized yesterday. Such a precious bundle, so soft and sweet.
