The Secret is Out.....

We have finally told our families and the kids that #5 is on the way! Due June 14th! They are all very excited and so are we. I have never waited so long to tell others, but it was nice to keep our secret these past 12 weeks. Now Alison won't leave me alone about it! LOL!
We were told at the begining with a blood test that I wasn't so after a rooler coaster and a few more Home tests, we decided to wait till we had our first appt and ultrasound before we said anything.
The way we announced - last year I made some bragbooks of all our families so everyone would have updated pictures of eachother, then this year I had 5 new nephews! So I made up their new pages (all digiscrapping of course!) and slipped a new one in the back, then gave it to our mom's first (we are lucky and get to visit both families for the Holidays) and as they ooohed and awed and flipped through them they came upon the last one and gasped and smiled. It was fun, Alison didn't believe it! Then she was sure it was a boy because I scrapped it on green paper! Silly girl, she really wants another sister! We don't care if it's a girl or boy, as long as the baby is healthy!

Congrats!!! I am so excited. Kimmie says it is a girl because it is too little to be a boy. Johnny says it is a boy because Ty needs another brother. I am glad that the secret is out. Congrats and let me know what you need.

Love Always,
Me
