Surprise!!

So I haven't posted in awhile but I have a good reason...we got quite a surprise in our Easter baskets this year!!


Yep, that's right!  The Southern family is expecting a new addition...making us a family of FIVE!!!  FIVE!!!  It still hasn't sunk in 100%!!

We found out Wednesday April 20th...right before Easter and we're due December 22nd.  So in the spirit of these two special holidays...we tied them both into the announcement for our families.  We had Kenley color a picture for each of her grandparents...something she normally does then printed off a little poem.  We folded the poems inside her masterpieces and placed them in Easter eggs.  Here's the poem:
Twas the week of Christmas
and who should appear??
Why another sweet baby 
to love and hold dear!!!
Our families were as surprised as we were and everyone is excited about our Christmas arrival!!!  When I told Kenley she is going to be a big sister again she said "Yay!!!!!!"

As usual with me and pregnancy I have been feeling pretty awful.  The nausea hit hard at 6wks 4days and hasn't let up.  I'm thankful for healthy pregnancies but wish the nausea wasn't so bad and didn't last so long.

We should find out if its a boy or girl right around our 6 year anniversary!!! We are so excited about this new miracle and cannot wait to welcome him/her into our family!!
