Announcing...

With great joy and thankfulness we announce the news of a new baby brother or sister for Reece and Chase - expected to arrive sometime around March 24! We are all excited! I am feeling well for the most part - a bit naseous (first time to have that pregnancy side effect) and quite tired... but since this is my last week of the first trimester, hopefully more energy will be mine soon!

We just explained the news to Reece and Chase this weekend. They are happy! Well, Chase was not too concerned, while Reece melted my heart by proclaiming that when the baby comes out of my tummy he wants to hold it - but he will be very careful and not drop it! Reece most definitely wants a sister - but we reminded him that another little brother would be lots of fun too! Chase is learning the word "baby" but still is much more interested in "balls". Enjoy the video of their conversation by clicking on the "play" button...

Oh, and you can read my thoughts from my post on the day we found out about the pregnancy here.

Congrats Carolyn & family! Nothing I think is greater than to hear that you are expecting another child. The world just seems to look differently!
Do you think perhaps this is why you were more emotional than ever sending Reece to school...hahaha! In either case, I know how hard it would have been regardless.
Excited to hear updates from you. Congrats again. Crystal

OH Care.. your video turned out great. I can't wait to try to post one on mine. And that was so cool today!! I hope we get to do that more. Your boys are so big. I loved getting to talk to Reece today. Hope you're feeling good tonight...no nausea. We'll talk soon. Todd thought that was cool that we talked today. He wished he would have been here. I can't see he and Benjy having a video phone conversation by themselves! Ha. That would be funny. TAlk to you later..Loveyou..flee

Oh Care! I haven't been on your site for months and when I do I get such GREAT news! I'm so excited for you and I'm praying for a girl - you need an Amy Jo! I've read back through some of your blogs about things the boys have done & said and it tugs at my heart a bit. Especially the one on Reece's first day of school - oh the memories of doing that in Slovakia! I'm so very proud of all of you.

I love you!

I wasn't able to listen to the video when I posted last time but checking to see if ther was any more updates and saw the video. Do I distinct an accent in your voice Carolyn??? I had to play it 3 times to listen to your voice! How desperate am I! I guess I haven't heard your voice since your wedding! Gosh...where does the time go. Take Care, Crystal

Am praying and looking forward to seeing this new baby and it sounds like the boys are too. Reece would make a good teacher. What precious boys and I pray for the safty of this new one - I love her already - maybe it will be a him. I don't care.
Take care,
Much love,
MOM

Congrats, Care and Benji and boys! we got to see Tim and Tara and Elijah and auntie heather this weekend in BC and they told us your news. Tim kept commenting on how you might as well keep having more kids since the blonde-haired ones you already have are soooooo cute!
i am secretly hoping you have a little girl with blone locks! Enjoy your pregnancy time!
